Re: My '67 Fleetside C10 renew
Still pecking away at life here. Got a few more pecks in on this motor for the wrong truck.
I had the block zero decked. With the 18cc pistons and 64cc chambers I should be 10.2ish. We ccd the chambers and they are as advertised. Pistons are cnc, so I believe they'd be the same.
The Brodix heads aren't bolt on for steam holes. They say to use the 1004, pre-flattened head gaskets and punch 0.375 holes in them to line up the steam holes. Hmmm... I couldn't see how that would fly. I transferred the steam hole locations to the gaskets, drilled the gaskets, then transferred those holes to the heads. The goofy port shape in the heads is half-baked. The center ones were easy to drill but the outer ones partially intersected, so I opened those with a little rat-tail. Overall, a pain in the azz but they're on! Next move is to size up some pushrods, then I should be able to button this thing up pretty quick.
Had to buy tires for the truck I'm supposed to be selling - ugh!!
