Welp, while Trulson was test-fittin the motor, I tore apart the old ka24de from s13.

the timing chain mustve jumped when it was still tryin to turn after that piston ceased.... it was off by about 6 teeth, and the metal bracket that covers the chain was snapped. the head is in good shape, surprisingly. we werent the ones to do the damage, the car was bought 'as is' for the project.

Here's Trulson test-fitting the motor to figure out how much we'll have to move back the fire wall.

in the very first pic of the top of the piston, no, that is not my hand nor my shoe... that's Trulson, my best friend and partner in crime. Im in the black shirt otherwise.

Might that be a 396Big Block? Ive got one sitting on the bench waiting for its truck to come back. If it is a 396 good luck fitting that in there.

Post by **slamd68** » Thu Jan 02, 2003 5:16 pm

The engine is a cracked small block chev, just one i had sitting around, with some heads and intake bolted on so i could start fitting the engine and designing the mounts.

Post by **MaineExport** » Thu Jan 02, 2003 5:16 pm

So once you have the mounts and fit designed.... what IS going to be dropped in there?

Have you seen Aries' setup? (I assume so)

Man... you guys remind me of all my old buddies back home... toss a Chevy V8 in anything you can cram it into!!! I love it.... I wanna come visit!!!

The plan is to drop in the old 350 from my camaro after it receives the 383 i'm putting together. I was gonna go the automatic trans route, but have decided to use a 4 speed, cause shiftin is half the fun

Just an introduction, i am the guy in the photo above, i salvaged a straight body (very smoked engine)240 from the back row of a local dealer for 300 bones. the car is in fairly poor condition, so i'm just having fun with it

Post by **MaineExport** » Thu Jan 02, 2003 5:16 pm

Well... it sounds like you're going to have a shat load of fun with that 240. Just a warning... be VERY cautious with the frail unibody construction. It really isn't designed to take the kind of torque and stress that your 350 can give it (yes I know.... it's ONLY a 350

.... but still).

Keep us posted... I like seeing stuff like this!

BTW.... an auto transmission with a Herst shifter can be just as much fun as a 4-speed manny-transmission!

Right ON!!!

This is better than Monster Garage!

A thrashed wet turd (I mean 240), a SBC, a cute mechanic chick and a HUGE garage... *sigh*:D

I am the one without the quotes.

Besides, all my Infiniti friends are old and therefore asleep.

I think it would pretty nice to have a girl who could help me tear down my motors during the day, and ............. at night....that would be nice.... I'd also have my motivation to actually work on the car.....Maybe ill start rethinking my dream woman : )

*sigh* the girl im interested in and have been hanging out with doesnt like cars very much...

BUT we can change that, first step, teach her how to drive stick...

As for the car, very nice, i think its gonna be a beast. and a woman who like to work on cars is damn sexy.

Post by **chrispy** » Thu Jan 02, 2003 5:16 pm

man teaching a girl how to drive stick is impossible. Most of the time they just give up . make sure your buckled in

No ****...I was just thinking the same thing. There are no girls that like cars in general around here...let alone get their hands dirty pulling an engine.

Tino - aren't you late for your date at the truck stop?

Tino = "member".... LMAO.
