Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

Did a little work on the truck this VERY HOT weekend. :devil: It was 110 here.
I welded up the hole in the blazer gas tank. I only had one small explosion :haha: Then I pressurized it and sprayed with soapy water. Then looked for bubbles. It was OK. Since I took the sensor out I could see the inside of the tank. Thank God there was no rust. But it had some rocks & pebbles in it. Also a gas can plastic spout laying on the bottom. :lol: I got them all out.

Next I Looked at the 2 engines I had for it. One is the 350 from the 73. I know nothing about this engine. I took the intake off to look inside, valves & lifters. It looked clean, but old. The engine didn't look like it was taken very good care of. I laid some of the fancy stuff I've been collection on the 73 Motor. Looks pretty good even with a dirty engine.

So I tore into the other 350 I had. I know the complete history with this engine because It came in my 1990 New Snap-on Box Van that I had to buy when I worked for Snap-on. It developed low compression at 130,000, but didn't burn any oil, and never leaked a drop of oil. It was a strong engine until the bad compression. I pulled lots of steep hills with the Van that was always over loaded. All it needs is a valve job. It was faster for me to install a new engine from the Chevy Dealer. It was only $1,800, and I was back on the road selling by Monday morning. I think I'm going to build this engine. BTW it's also a 4 bolt main.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

Now I have to sell more crap to pay for the engine parts & machining. I'm going to have the block soaked, and get it power honed. Then a Edelbrock Performer RPM cam kit to go with the manifold I already have. I will port & port match the intake & exhaust ports. I do this with every Chevy I build. What I do works. I still have to take the valves out to see what condition they're in. Hopefully I can just lap them in. If not more money for machine work. It sucks when you don't have the tools. I always did my own valves, and used the shop equipment from where I was working at the time.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

4 bolt main.:metal: Are you gonna stroke it?

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

I would like to. I don't have the money for that. The only thing I'll be stroking is...., well lets say use your imagination. :haha:
