Re: Newtz '68 Burb
 

So yesterday the boy and me made a trip over to slickricks house, and thanks to Rick and his dad ( great guys btw) picked up some parts. Parts include a very much needed middle seat, some new tail light lenses, a few exterior door handles, etc... Thanks guys! I am now looking for the seat mounting brackets for this seat. Also the neighbor brought by a custom gas tank that he built for his blazer, and now has no need for. Looks like it's gonna work great!

The gas tank.

Did you see this? Brackets

Re: Newtz '68 Burb
 

nice looks good. Hows it running now. brakes all good? i like how you know your way around engines. when should i drop my engine off?

Re: Newtz '68 Burb
 

Yes, I did see that. Great info! Thanks. I also need the mounts for the back of the seat, if you know where I could find those.

Re: Newtz '68 Burb
 

Thanks, brakes are good, and it runs great! I'm working in lemoore right now if you want me to stop by and pick up your engine along with all your money! haha

Re: Newtz '68 Burb

Haha not yet.:smoke:

Re: Newtz '68 Burb
 

That would be awesome! Thanks!

Re: Newtz '68 Burb
 

lol all my money. you'd get such a low amount!

do the rebuilds cost you alot even when you do it yourself? most cost is probably the machining.

Re: Newtz '68 Burb
 

Parts are a big chunk too depending on what you have or reuse. A decent small block like I like to build runs about $2500. My big block cost me about $4000, including the cost of the motor itself to begin with. There's a company in Sacramento that sells 350s and 383s on ebay for around $2000. They warranty them too.

Re: Newtz '68 Burb
 

have u ever got one of those ebay motors , Newtz???

Re: Newtz '68 Burb
 

No I haven't. I've always wondered about them. There was a company at the last Turlock swap meet selling them for about the same price also.

Re: Newtz '68 Burb
 

im glad everything is workin for you newt!!!!!

Re: Newtz '68 Burb
 

net is back and now i can stay on top of this thread!

Re: Newtz '68 Burb
 

any updates Newtz?

Re: Newtz '68 Burb
 

Sorry, nothing really. Managed to get some seat brackets for my middle seat, but still need to find the time to actually get it in. Also, have not had the time to get the gas tank in yet. Been working ten hour days, with a hour and a half drive one way. Hopefully soon I can get some stuff done!:metal:
