Looks like you've got your work cut out for ya! Keep pluggin at it.
I sure do!
Sorry to hear about the critter condo, at least it was not used as a trotline weight before you got it.
If you have time vinigar is a hell of a rust remover.
good luck with the motor. Looks like you are missing a few parts. I have some medium duty parts like t-stat HOUSING, water inlet, fan, and ac mount. If you can make um work they are yours.
Thanks Jakob, yeah it could have been worse. I have to try the vinegar thanks! Im definitely missing all those parts, im sure I could make those work, what do you want for them?
not to derail, but whos got the 90's chevy in the back ground, looks good with a sas under the front.
Thats my buddy Tylers truck, its a real clean truck.
More progress, After using a torch, hydraulic pressure, hammers, and prybars I finally got all the pistons out the engine. The walls of cylinders 1 and 5 are definitely rough, Im positive Ill have to go .040 over to clean them up.
I got everything hot tanked and got the head and exhaust manifold shot blasted. The head will definitely need new valve seats and guides and probably about .015 taken off the deck to clean that up.
Here are some pics, hope to start boring and honing tomorrow, align hone first if necessary but all the mains look real nice
