started going through the rest of the engine tonight, looks good so far looks like not many miles was on it since it was rebuilt the last time, sorry these are cell phone pics

oldblue1968chevy 07-10-2010 11:22 AM

Re: Lime Wife's 67
 
give us some specs on the motor?..put a lil cam in it?

Hubscrub 07-10-2010 02:14 PM

Re: Lime Wife's 67
 
i don't know any numbers, just the size of the motor itself:lol: it looks like it was rebuilt not so long ago, i will more than likely reuse everything i can, already got heads redone, cam look good so i will reuse it (i have never bought a new cam in my life:lol: the cam in my 71 came out of my buddies 72 when he wanted a bigger cam) we will see what the crank looks like, i will have new bearings and all of course, i think all was wrong with it was the cracked head and it sat for 3 years too so i took it apart just to be safe:blah:
