    1964 Chevy ll ls1/t56 swap

    It is a C3, and yes you are right, go straight to the LS1/t56. I think that is good advice, so ECU, wiring harness, fuel tank pump.

    1964 Chevy ll ls1/t56 swap

    I also have a complete 94 Z28 Camaro, LT1, 700R4, posi. Everything could be swapped, engine is strong. 700R4 will go into the C20 with the 6.2 Detroit diesel....if it will bolt up, giving me OD, and easy swap. What to do? Anyway, I will hire a guy to help with body work, (found a former...

    1964 Chevy ll ls1/t56 swap

    I also have a 355 circle track motor, runs very good, and sounds great. The TH350 out of the K20 is also excellent, though I know I will have to change the tail housing to fit the car. This would be quick and dirty, and get it on the road, a good option as I am not getting any younger. I will...

    1964 Chevy ll ls1/t56 swap

    Soooo, while she looks a little rough, I just have one little bit of rust at the rear window, and body work is done. I will use 3M seam sealer, and clean/paint underneath with epoxy primer and paint to protect the body, may rhino line the fender wells. I plan on a mini tub also. The engine is a...

    What year bed is this

    That's odd, because I have two 73's a K10, and a K20, both have the doors, and both are original.

    I scoured the shop looking for my pushrod length checker, bugger lost it I guess. I made this from 3/8 crs, turned the end to 5/6 and radius with a file. 1/4-20 ready rod, made one two, and one three inches long, and a nut for a lock. Other end bottomed out tight. Worked well. Exhaust need to be...

    These are the head small parts, pushrod guides and rocker studs, poly locks. Very good quality.

    So I said I would post how to check valve to piston clearance. Two methods shown. With the soft springs you can find TDC, and then count the revolutions and part rev, and .312 exhaust, and .274 intake. The playdough just measure after the valves have opened and closed once.

    Best way to transport 19 55 gallon barrels?

    That's some funny **** right there, sure made me smile. I heat with an oil burning heater, but it does not like waste oil, bugger.

    Update on my Ignition Module failure!

    Yeah, I have run points, and while I still have engines with points, like the much hotter spark of electronic ignition, Pertronics has been good, but I run MSD on all my small and bbc engines. Yes I have a brand new one in a box I bought from ebay, it did not work, but could be sent back to be...

    The oil pan has some nice hardware, and is double bolted, so bolts cannot loosen. I think this is a pretty engine, but pretty is what pretty does. Spring has sprung so very busy with the ranch, but determined to check the valve clearance this week, and will show how I do it. That will allow me...

    Took oil pump apart, and dim. look good @ .0015, and also applied breakin lube to shaft. BTW The breakin lube is oil dissolvable, and mixes with the oil, and will drain out with the first oil change. The clay was about .300 thick, this is the clearance between the bottom of the pan and the...

    Finally received my exchange timing chain, this time a Cloyes Street roller with adjustable keyways. It also has the cutout in the back of the cam sprocket for the included thrust bearing. All in all a good looking piece that has the right tension. HOWEVER... the timing was not correct, spent...

    Pooh, timing chain that I replaced the Howard cam, (it was way tight) was a Summit brand, and made by SA gear, just like the Howards cam one....also way to tight. Sent back and waiting on a Cloyes.

    American Auto Wire harness for the 73 K20. I got the kit as it has all new switches, sockets, connectors etc, all things I was going to have to replace. CalSgt is right, stock is good, but at almost 72, time is waistin' away. All new electrical is soo nice. I have several crimpers, but my...
