Big block chevy build, 489 stroker

[kellerbm]

Nope Quoted your "NICE" post. Someone local to me has 2 as a pair on CL. A I think 67 and 68. Wants 12K for the pair. That's just the one BB that I always wanted.

I bought that engine for 400 dollars on a tire behind some guys shed. I have about 6400 dollars into the build right now everything from engine parts to the machining and balancing. Everything is new including bolts and hardware only original is the block it's self

Was going to use play doe to check the piston the valve clearance, flattening the play doe to like a 1/4 inch and lay on the piston. Then set the cylinder head on and snug up the head bolts and turn the crank over. Pull the head off and measure the indentation of the play doe with a micrometer to figure gasket thickness.

Will be nice, but i have a feeling I will be replacing some u joints and the gear and pinion when I get it in the truck.

Lot of torque meeting stock components that aren't rated for that kind of stress, means things breaking.

Oh is that how it works? lol!
4x4 can really be a liability sometimes. 2x just burns rubber...

Oh ok. Tall decks are great for opening up allowed to buying a Dart block, but can be a bitch to fit. That extra .400” can be troublesome, not so much in a truck though. I’ll eventually build my 505 with mine. Until then it can sit and watch. For the 125 I paid for it, it doesn’t owe me anything.

Yeah I thought it was a red truck sitting in the grass. Maybe that’s where my confusion lays
