got to work on the 67 today 5-6-10 flat bed put on

[SteveC]

ok this last week i got the engine out and tore down to a bare block to get ready to rebuild it


transmission removed


engine just about ready to come out


empty hole


on a engine stand


just a slight leak in the rear intake


just a litle dirty parts..




pistions and valves.. look like this on both sides i was expecting worse



geting ready to remove the pistions


down to a bare block ready to be cleaned


30 minutes or so later after a good heat tank soaking



thats about all i have for pictures for right now. The cylinder walls all had a rigde on them and a couple of my cam bearings were badly shot. All the bearings in the mother are stamped with fomoco and a date of c5.

Some things i am planning on doing is going to a 4 barrel intake i have nothing radical or major as far as cam , just wanting a good reliable engine, and im gonna finish the changeover to a 4speed.

thanks

Steve,

Great to see you breathing new life back into it!!
it'll be fun watching for your updates, what carb and intake will you be using?
are you going to detail the engine bay before you go back together with it?

[SteveC]

Thanks i wont be able to detal the engine compartment much. as far as intake i have a factory 4 barrel that came off a nother engine as far as carb i havent decided jsut yet

[dcbullet]

Wow, that is a filthy motor!

Must be nice having a lift to do that work!

Lookin' good!

[SteveC]

ok havent took a SINGLE picture since i tore into the engine but now the engine is back together and back in the truck... had to bore it .40 over cause of how bad the cylinder walls were out of round.

[SteveC]

i've been a Very busy boy at school. All I have left to do is get the distributer back from the person rebuilding my distributer. And put that back in. Get the new driveshaft down here and put on and .Get the clutch fully adjusted... and a few small things

[dablack00]

You are going to have a problem with smooth air flow into the carb like that. I'm just sayin.

[SteveC]

no air filter?? havent got that far .. ya like that it would definatlly have a problem. I sat it there to keep stuff from falling into the carb

[BiggDogg]

Looks awesome Steve!

[SteveC]

Well i started the truck today she sure sounds good. I got some more pictures of stuff accually done. Just need a drive shaft and i can take it for a spin

the tires i showed before are on the truck.






Got the auto shift taken out so it at least looks like its suppose to be manual


Im kinda ashamed to show my wiring harness mess with all the different color tape... but it will get me out the door till i can redo it to my liking. That and the air cleaner filter is to small... havent had time to get the right sized one.

[Thunderfoot]

Looking good

[SteveC]
