    Chuck’s engine build thread!

    Flaky module? I don't know a test for those other than to swap a "tested" one in as a check. Used to be cheap if you have a spare?

    Slowly going back together: - almost ready to tackle the wiring top side now that I made a little progress bottomside buttoning up. Still need to tidy up the plumbing, mount the shifter pivot plate, and some trans components. Passenger side downpipe/crossover was a bit tight to the frame on...

    Forgot to mention, prior to install, I ran through the prime process and saw 40psi on slow speed, and didn't go much above 70psi maxed out with cold 10w30 conventional oil in it. Was surprised how light/smooth the pump felt once it loaded the drill motor. Pressure test and leak test all look...

    Nice, hoping it all drops in easy! Thought mine would give me a struggle, but it litterally fell onto the block dowels like butter. Best of luck!

    After a closer look around -- Looks like the converter is fine. After checking some bits, it's "pull-out" is sitting at .235 (15/16), and was advised to use the .090" shims that came with the converter, to bring it to .145" Safe spec is .125 - .187" per circle D so I think she is good there...

    Quick update, Everything lined up so nice, everything fell into place pretty drama free. Found a few small issues to iron out when I get time, one of which is how far the converter is to the flex plate. May be normal, (about .250-.300) waiting to get word back from Brian at Circle D to...

    Everything is ready to slap it all back together, just waiting on my buddy Kyle to get some free time to come give me a hand to drop it in. In the meantime just sorting out all the new wiring, got the overall theory/logic down, just may tweak a few circuits on input from the tuner. The new...

    What new tools have you got lately?

    Picked up one of the fancy hydraulic flaring tools with some 37⁰ AN dies, have always used the OG screw style for decades, so this is a nice change. Tried a generic amazon brand and that one sucked bad! This one gets the job done so far.

    BBC Clam Shells

    Small block or big, the clam shells will be the same. did you use the top set of holes for the new motor mounts? The lower set is for 6 cyl and could cause problems.

    Ended up lengthening the stock linkage rod for the shifter, just used the shank from a 3/8" bolt, gave everything a good bevel and welded on with the mig to add another 2 1/2". New throttle cable in and a new ground strap, because why not? Now struggling with how to get the truck up high...
