Finally got a running 65 C10
Well, nothing has changed unfortunately. I did get the block, the crank and the pistons to the house. I wrapped everything in saran wrap and put a trash bag over them for safekeeping. Just can’t afford that $5000 transmission swap right now what with property taxes and getting a letter from the...- 1low4x4

Hot rod it’s getting the 350 out of my old 85C 20. And then the 84K 10. It’s currently at the machine shop getting punched out 30. I did a valve job Seals and springs on the Vortec heads last week. I’m kind of dead in the water until the machine shop calls me. In the meantime, I’m saving up for...- 1low4x4

Cam and lifters are like new. No other bent pushrods other than 8, which were out in this video.- 1low4x4

The noise I’m describing is not normal. It was idling at 1400 rpm and tapping like the piston was hitting the valve, extremely fast and loud. I still can figure out what that was- 1low4x4

Oh and I checked the pressed in studs on the 305 heads for the 283 they were all the same. I thought maybe one had pulled out- 1low4x4

Well I got the exhaust valve out, well, it wont actually come out, it gets hung up at the end. The intake, and the exhaust on the next cylinder I cant even get compressed, at all. I moved to starting on the vortec heads for the 350. Its got the springs from comp that came with that little cam I...- 1low4x4

That’s where she’ll stay in the corner. That thumper cam and lifters are easily reusable, but that’s 283 needs a stock cam. Bout to work on the valves to see if they’re bent- 1low4x4

Well, I was wrong, I knew I didn’t remember putting sealant on the head bolts, but that was because they already had them on out of the box. Got to looking closer and it wasn’t coolant. It was just the same old rear valve cover leak on both sides. All the lifters look like they just came out...- 1low4x4

Going to pull the offending side head off it today with my nephew to see what’s going on, I half expect piston to valve contact what with all that tapping it was doing on the way home. And I’m not really sure what was causing the 1400 RPM idle. Almost like it jumped timing. Btw it’s not rotating...- 1low4x4

The Tremec TKX. Got a quote from Silver Sport Transmissions today, for the unit, crossmember, bell housing, and a bunch of other ****. I’ll have to buy the hydraulic clutch setup a little later on, before the install. Hoping to pull the trigger on the trans stuff by Tuesday- 1low4x4
