Re: 1952 3/4 Ton Rebuild
Yeah, I've had contradicting arguments on what I should do with the motor. Some say don't waste time with a V8, stick with the original motor. Others say forget the six, and drop money in the V8. My goal here, is to get the 6 running so I can get to school/work for the next few-several months, then When I have a whole new drive train ready to drop in, I'll do it all at once.
So far, I've followed the idea of "spend no cash", not buying, a condenser, spark plugs, or a coil. We'll see.
If I get enough time, I'll post pictures of the bottom end, and see what everyone thinks.
I was thinking about trying to push start it, but my brakes are completely shot. And my cv joints are bad.
I'm on spring break this week, so my list of immediate goals are:
Get the motor turning freely
Mount a dual master cylinder
Rebuild/ clean up the brakes
