Hey i got an assembled bottom end v8. I'm going to take apart the motor where it's at. I know how to get the cam out, but i want the pistons out so i can get the crank and such. I know i have to turn the motor over and take the oil pan off then theres like U's for the pistons that go around the crank do i just unscrew them off then the piston should rise? Help me out

 

why you gonna use stolen parts?

 

goodness

 

No because according to the law that is still stealing i believe.

 

well anyway, how can i take out this crankshaft ***

 

OK...out of curiousity, what motor is this? is it a 305 or a 350?

 

guessen a 350

 

Dont guess...find out for sure because there will be a difference in the stroke.

 

well i dont think you would put a holley 750 on a 305

 

Difference in the stroke? The last time I checked, both the 305 and 350 used a 3.48" stroke. There will be a difference in the counterweights (mass), but not the stroke length.

And, FWIW, you don't actually need to remove the pistons to remove the crank. You only need to remove the rod and mains caps. (and timing chain, or course).

 

k thanks vader

 

Thanks for the correction

Its the bore thats different...doh
