Finally tooksome pictures of a few things
Sunday, July 19, 2009
The bearing alignment turned out to be a connecting rod problem, I had one rebuilt and now Im going together once again. As it stands right now I have 8 pistons in the bores fully dressed, still bare cylinder heads, painted valve covers, oil pan and intake manifold. The drivers side suspension nearly rebuilt(all of the wear parts changed).
On another note I've Invested in a bowling and grippo megasquirt II standalone ECU(V3.57) and the realated wiring componets. If all goes well with the intial start-up and break in on my engine I'll move on to adding wasted spark ignition (EDIS-8) and Throttle body injection(1983 continetial. this should help to bump up the fuel econemy to a fairly decent level(assuming I possese the skills to make the engine run with the fuel injection system). Only time will tell im afraid.
Unforunatly I have yet to take the time to provide the pictures that I so often promise. I apologize as I am forgetful.
On yet another note my father and I have started a side project swapping a 460 into a 1979 ford bronco. Its all but finished if the radiator we purchased hadnt fill our transmission full of coolant. we're planning on drying it out the best we can and running it. but I doubt that the outcome will be in our favor.
As for the old engine(351c) we're looking at swapping heads to a slightly different engine and having a fair bit of fun frankensteining yet another vehicle.
