    Need obscure bearing

    Lol I like the challenge, only 35 bucks on craigslist. Im hoping to make a generator and give it my spare 20 gal long bed tank and just tuck it away when im done. Theyre worth like 200 bucks on ebay too so i figure if it doesn't work out il just flip it

    Need obscure bearing

    Alright, I know this may sound like a crazy long shot but I've gotta try. i have an old kohler motor with a knocky main bearing. So after some digging I found that the crank diameter is 1.65 inches and the main bearing inner diameter for it is 1.75 inches. If anyone knows of any manufactured...

    350 to 400 small block

    Yea it looks like im either going to grab some vortecs from a yard, or save over the summer to do a complete 400 the right way. Knowing how impatient i get tho il probably be at a junk yard soon lol

    Engine identification

    That's more than I could have EVER found lol thank you. It just so happens that he has a 57 bel air in his backyard too, and a powerglide. I bet he updated the drive train and kept those. Is there any way to tell if they are original to the car?

    Engine identification

    Hoping to do a little digging. A few months ago I was digging through my late uncles yard, he was a mad car guy. Stumbled across some motors and picked one to try to identify. After initial faliure I snagged these 3 pics and left, haven't gotten to go back since. Next time I go I'd like to know...

    350 to 400 small block

    Anyone know good part numbers for the vortecs assuming I keep a 350? All i would do to them is a home valve lap job

    350 to 400 small block

    @75gmck25 i appreciate the thought but its wayy too expensive. Im gonna have to get everything off craigslist and pull stuff from yards, I can only spend a couple hundred

    350 to 400 small block

    @Big Heavy they're like 600 lol, and I don't trust myself to cut up my block for clearance and 600+ a machine shop for striker mods and standard stuff, way out of my league

    350 to 400 small block

    If I get the block and heads for the 400, what's the minimum i should have the machine shop do? And spot on about keeping the truck on the road, that's a bug reason to not pull my 350 for a rebuild.

    350 to 400 small block

    @Rusty Nail hmm defiantly something to think about, may have to start another post soon if craigslist turns up good options to hop up my 350 then. Lots to think about

    350 to 400 small block

    @Honky Kong jr of a 2 bolt main? Im not doing anything besides edelbrock carb and a set of vortec heads later on, 450 hp max and that's very hopeful

    350 to 400 small block

    350 to 400 small block

    @Honky Kong jr I've actually already upgraded to an aluminum 3 row rad, after my current 350 blew the old copper one. And as far boring it over I would, but I cant afford the machine shop, so im trying a 400 to get some cheap cubes

    350 to 400 small block

    @Honky Kong jr eventually I want to go big block but the swap seems far easier and cheaper if i stay small block Does anyone know what i should pay for just a block and rotating assembly and heads, unmachined?

    350 to 400 small block

    @Rusty Nail thanks a TON. That cleared up a lot for me lol, and don't worry some of those pics are old I have a bigger one now. So when I go building the 400, do I still need to be sure all the pistons and rods are the same weight? I've seen some videos on rebuilds and they'll shave material to...

    Lowering on 31s

    I wish I could but I don't have the budget, making drop shackles and buying spindles are the most I can do

    Lowering on 31s

    Thank you for the feedback. Is there anything I could trim to make the tire clear better?

    Lowering on 31s

    Hi all, first post here. I've got a stock 78 c10 sitting on 31s, stock height. Was wondering what my options were for lowering given tire size, I only really take it around town, and am not looking to put it on the ground. Id be happy with just 2/4, not sure if that's possible though. Id just...
