Still could'nt get my link the way I wanted. I did manage to do this though. Just to get your morning off to a good start.

joe231 · 07-10-2009, 08:14 AM

hey Dave, after you upload the pic, click on the paperclip again and click the attached pic (or insert all if you have multiple pics), that will insert it/them into the text and get rid of the attached image box around your pic

Strodder---You guys aren't crazy, you're family. I came from a big family, so I'm use to 2 or 3 conversations at at time. And thanks for the booty shot Daverod.

jgh64pkup · 07-10-2009, 08:19 PM

nope im pretty sure they're crazy

not really

ok maybe a little

Strodder · 07-19-2009, 10:34 PM

Did a little work on the truck this VERY HOT weekend.

It was 110 here.
I welded up the hole in the blazer gas tank. I only had one small explosion

Then I pressurized it and sprayed with soapy water. Then looked for bubbles. It was OK. Since I took the sensor out I could see the inside of the tank. Thank God there was no rust. But it had some rocks & pebbles in it. Also a gas can plastic spout laying on the bottom.

I got them all out.

Next I Looked at the 2 engines I had for it. One is the 350 from the 73. I know nothing about this engine. I took the intake off to look inside, valves & lifters. It looked clean, but old. The engine didn't look like it was taken very good care of. I laid some of the fancy stuff I've been collection on the 73 Motor. Looks pretty good even with a dirty engine.

So I tore into the other 350 I had. I know the complete history with this engine because It came in my 1990 New Snap-on Box Van that I had to buy when I worked for Snap-on. It developed low compression at 130,000, but didn't burn any oil, and never leaked a drop of oil. It was a strong engine until the bad compression. I pulled lots of steep hills with the Van that was always over loaded. All it needs is a valve job. It was faster for me to install a new engine from the Chevy Dealer. It was only $1,800, and I was back on the road selling by Monday morning. I think I'm going to build this engine. BTW it's also a 4 bolt main.

Strodder · 07-19-2009, 10:47 PM

Now I have to sell more crap to pay for the engine parts & machining. I'm going to have the block soaked, and get it power honed. Then a Edelbrock Performer RPM cam kit to go with the manifold I already have. I will port & port match the intake & exhaust ports. I do this with every Chevy I build. What I do works. I still have to take the valves out to see what condition they're in. Hopefully I can just lap them in. If not more money for machine work. It sucks when you don't have the tools. I always did my own valves, and used the shop equipment from where I was working at the time.

jason65 · 07-19-2009, 10:51 PM

4 bolt main.

Are you gonna stroke it?

I would like to. I don't have the money for that. The only thing I'll be stroking is...., well lets say use your imagination.
