That looks fantastic. What a great job..mmmm Centari...i can still tase the last job i sprayed with that..was a great bang for your buck.

I think overall length will be the issue. Off the top of my head the Hydramatic is 33" OAL as i remember it. and the jack shaft is very short. A full synchro 4 spd in front of the brownie might fit. One of the nicest shifting transmissions ive ever had my hand on is a T19 out of a 84 ford with a...

That is absolutely beautiful. Nothing more handy than a crane like that. I hope it serves you long and well. Be safe..and inspect your rigging!

Sometimes its like a round of "plinko" from the Price Is Right. Happened with an old cellphone of mine. was working on changing the head gasket in my M37. Phone slipped out of my left chest pocket, bounced off the block deck, off the inner fender, off the side of the block, Frame rail, oil pan...

Thank Our Lord in Heaven that it wasnt stainless..one of my guys at the drydock did that in a flywhell housing...stainless.. at 6:30pm. Didnt tell me till 10:30..15 minutes before end of shift. Lucky for him it was in a spot i could see it AND fish it out. He scraped mussels and cleaned grease...

Outstanding! Glad it was good times all around. These are memories that will pass on to you great grand Tinys. Some of my fondest memories are with my Gramps on the farm messing with tractors as a 5 a year old kid.

Sunny clear and cold..for the wet coast. Supposed to snow on sunday..my only day off. But the frosty silver lining is if i get out there with the air hammer and 5 or 6 pots of speed mud i should be able to pound off all the tar while its nice and brittle. So thats my plan. And a mechanical once...

I hear you with that. every time i send something away i immediatly kick myself..unfortunately it cant all stay. So heres a couple pics of "The Victim" I'll have to put a propane mixer on it and see how it runs. The back end is coated in tar and gravel but the body is good and the chassis is low...

You wouldnt have that 427 still hanging around would ya?

Wellllll..better late than never.. i take delivery of the donor truck for the repower tomorrow. Unfortunately the VIN says its a 366. Not that big a deal to me really but i will be on the hunt for a 427 to replace it when the 366 coughs its last gasp. Lots of other usefull parts on it for other...

Thats great news. Must be an awesome feeling of anticipation. Did you sleeve your cylinders or go with new or recup?

That is awesome! Thank you Santa! I'm jammed up for time so ive stalled out at modifying the shift fork and rods. Any and all additional info is extremely helpful. They asked us to work Christmas eve and Boxing day today 8-Z

Welcome to the excitement. The civvy manual bellhousings that fit the 302/270 gmc are set up for a sm420 trans. It has a smaller input bearing retainer register than the 465 in later chev's . Not the end of the world but bellhousing will need to be bored out to work. What i hate about the...

Well...i got a day off..but not enough time to go pull the new engine for the deuce. So i put the new hood on the 1960 GMC 930. I've been waiting almost 8 years to find a '60 GMC hood for it. One more job out of the way. Happy day

Hey that would be great. What i am planning is a full air foot valve and either a pair or maybe 3 dual master cylinders coupled to air actuators. This would prevent brake fluid contaminating air seals, do away with the under floor master, and allow for front axle selectable proportioning...

Bah...work has conspired to occupy all of my waking hours of late. The high deck chevy v8 is still sitting in the other truck in another yard..safe for the moment. Little has progressed since the last installment save the purchase of a bullmoose craneto help with the heavy lifting around the...

So here's a question for the group. I'm looking for someone that has an air pak apart or a partial unit that we can measure the bore and effective stroke of the slave piston. I need to know the total displacement to map out master cylinder retrofit possibillities. Just the output side of the...

I'm all in..no out. Thank you.
