NaughtyFD I have been working on a Chevy 350 in my engine building class. Really a primitive piece, full of pistons and valves and lifters and such, and damn if I can find a rotor anywhere!

Tom, taking an engine building class seems like a great idea. I think i'm going to to take automotive repair next year at the local tech center (you can do this for school credits)

Yes I used an Optimam Red top. Be advised I had to cut about 1" off of the top of the summit battery box for it to be able to fit .



The rotars go on the wheels Tom not in the engine!!!!



I was acutally thinking of a auto rebuild and body/paint class this summer

So... the rotors go on the wheels!? Nobody 'splained it like that before.



Montgomery College has a really good auto tech program. Last semester I took the introductory auto tech course and Auto Science & this semester Electricity I & Engine Building.



Soon, any day now, I will be able to wash the car with confidence.



Bobby, how goes the project?

You can remove it and add it to the passenger side of the hatch ,just over the strut. Mount it down with a tie down metal strap and bolt that down..

Ahh you guys dont need a class.

Rip the engine apart and build it back.





Directions!! We don't need no stinking directions man!!

NaughtyFD

The biggest thing for me is how to check clearances, etc. a rebuild is easy but getting everything right is tough. If you have the helms manual though you already have a good start.



Well I will be doing my heads/cam swapo shortly so.....



You guys think I should go with a transbrake or no????????

As soon as the clutch and the fuel system get in, the motor can go back in!



Just waiting on stuff...



After i get thoes parts...i can have everything together soon.



Then i need to make (have made) IC pipes, do the battery, and get my front bumper painted. If i have enough dough, im going to make a 32 row oil cooler kit. Then tunning...



then im done spending money after its tuned.



my bank account has suffered from all this ****...im almost broke again. I should have enough to finish the car...hopefully
