Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Started with this at 10:00 this morning.
It's a 3970010 block that was handed off to me by a great friend and Forum Member. On my first unpracticed eye inspection, the block looks great. I'll get it hot tanked, measured up, and m-fluxed as the first steps. Thanks again, Tom. She's down to a bare block now. Yup, 4.0 bore. The crank rod journals are almost funny. About four of the bearings looked like they have been spun like race horses. But, what the heck? The crank was probably going bye-bye, anyway. NBow, it's surely, "383 here I come". It's just all so damned much money..... I'll post the cleaned up pics and maybe a couple of rod journal pics as soon as I can get *myself* cleaned up.

Here's where it ended up today. Calling it a day.
No pics of the crank....Too sad....

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Finally mounted some new tires on the rally wheels I refurbished. I like the new look.

I think I need to do something to the crank. Like take it to the junk man. The block looks really good, though. We'll see after a mag-flux. This is the kind of stuff you can buy on E-Slay ...Usually says something like, "...10,000 miles since it was machined". In this case, it was a wonderful gift. Looks like I have a nice block to work with.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I worked on a right chevy fender for one of my 70's on putting a lower cup portion on[in]. Also did some checking on the core support that I had cut for a patch, making plans to get it on the table after the cup is welded in. I don't get to work on that stuff much the body shop is normally busy with other stuff. Jim
