i've been working the truck already for about 6 months but haven't had the time to start a thread so i figured i needed to get caught up
i bought the truck for $630 with a bad rear end smoking motor and both sides of the truck were a different color ![]() so when i got back i knew the truck would need a new motor which is when my brother in law gave me a 406 he had sitting (all the work is also being done in his garage ![]() heres the tear down of the 406 ![]() ![]() ![]() everything was in pretty good shape due to there only being about 700 miles on the motor when it got parked but a few cylinders did get rust ![]() i soaked the cylinder in diesel and sanded down the rust so i could get the piston out without damage ![]() then i had 3 cylinders sleeved (2 due to rust 1 due to a pit) and honing new cam bearings all that good stuff ![]() then i was waiting on parts and money so i got the truck and starting tearing down the frontend ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() it was pretty dirty everything was SOAKED in oil ![]() ![]() ![]() got the parts in and the short block together ![]() got some rebuilt heads from the shop ![]() some paint helped it look good ![]() |
