Scores from DIY Parts Yards, Pull A Part, U Pull It etc

Oh as well there are a couple of the underhood lights from the 90's trucks.
I found several fuse holders, a wiper delay board, and several circuit breakers.
Oh and every nut and bolt we took off went into the bottom of the bucket for our collection.

Ah yes, earlier in the week when junior went to the yard he was after a set of the L-29 big block Vortec heads that will be reconditioned and put onto the 454 in the '79.
Should give us a full point in compression as well as what the internet says will be anywhere from 30 to 50 more horsepower.

They flow much better than the factory peanut port heads...

So, Peter, what did all this stuff end up costing you?

So, Peter, what did all this stuff end up costing you?

The stuff from last Monday when Max went cost me a cool $270 with core and environmental fees.

The stuff I posted above from Friday cost me a total of $280 with all the core charges and environmental fees.

I have around $100 in cores to return.
So about $450 for loads of cool speed parts after the core fees are returned.

I did the math the other day if I were to purchase all of the stuff new from both days of junkyarding and that came to about $2,400 in parts.

Plus there are all the bolts and misc electrical stuff that gets missed in the bottom of the bucket. I pull lots of little stuff like fuse holders, relays, and circuit breakers.

One of our members @WamboJambo has been on the prowl for a 2wd 4 speed manual which around these parts are HARD TO FIND, a friend of mine just bought some property, contacted me asking if i wanted a 350 and 4 speed.
i pull up to his place and there lied a 4 speed and mystery small block.

I was on a mission for wambojambo to go inspect it and make sure it was a good candidate for a swap for his 78.
All the gears worked fine, no excess slop, 1st was tough to get as always, the case had a little water in it, but it was a safe 90/10 ratio of oil and water.

Seperated the trans, Popped the cover and looked inside, looked goopy with oil, but nothing busted inside.

He came and picked that up today.

The mystery motor was my reward, considering the 4 speed out back, i assumed it to be truck motor, either a 350 or 400


As it turns out from running the block and intake numbers, its a 68 327, the first year of the large journal motor.

Odd because of the dinky 2 barrel up top.

Pretty cool regardless.

The number was a toss up between a 1 year 68 327, or a 69-79 350.

The intake numbers said 327.

So, thats my score, a 1968 327

By the way, if anyone has any use for the brackets , accessories, or intake to maintain the "period correct" stuff, contact me.


If heads are worth a damn, im keeping them, as well as the crank for a maybe a 383 build.

Check it out if you will, Vince. It should be a short water pump and if so I'd be interested in both sets of brackets. Also, it's cool you are helping out fellow square body friends!!

WamboJambo is one of the few local guys here on the forum, hes 2 hours away from me, i offered to give his trans a gander to save him a trip since it was only 20 min from my house

He sent me the funds to go ahead and pay for it if it was usable.

And as it turned out, it was!

Our company has a '68 C50 that originally came with a 327 and a 2 barrel carb. The medium duty truck 327's have steel cranks.
