Phlebmaster Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 Ok guys, I have built up the L-16 block that I had for sale. So here is the deal, I need to buy new head bolts and a head gasket for my truck. I broke a head bolt when I put in that comp cam. :o All I would like to get out of this deal are a set of head bolts and a new head gasket for my truck. If you have a set I would trade the L-16 for them, but otherwise I would like to get $50.00 for this set-up. The motor is in good shape internally. I went through it and made sure everything was ok. I have a flywheel too. :D The head has had some work done...see the pic of the valves. This could easily be a good running motor in short time. This motor needs a few things, like a new gasket set, head bolts, oil pick-up and the dip stick (tube is there), and a valve cover, freeze plugs, etc... well look at the pics and you will see. Here are the pics: Link to comment
lynchfourtwenty Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 what head casting is that Link to comment
Phlebmaster Posted September 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 lol...looks like it might be a 219 casting?? NOPE...I thought the same thing. It is a 210 casting. :lol: Link to comment
Phlebmaster Posted September 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 I got a valve cover now...thanks phatdave!! I want to trade for something, I really want a dual carb set-up. I don't need to sell it anymore because I got my head bolts, so I would like to trade instead. Pretty soon I am going to have a complete motor. :eek: All this one needs now are a few bolts for the front cover, valve cover, and oil pan, head bolts. Also a complete freeze plug and gasket set and cam gear. Link to comment
datzenmike Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Looks like new valve seats were installed. Link to comment
Phlebmaster Posted September 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Good eyes Mike! Yes, this head has had some work done. I got thr regrind cam I put in my truck out of this head. The valves and seats look good. :D I don't know for sure what was done though. Link to comment
speedgato Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Want to trade for dual SU's? I don't have the intake though. . Link to comment
Phlebmaster Posted September 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 lol...thanks. But I think shipping that l-16 to Tucson Az would be quite expensive. How is Tucson anyway? I grew up there (in South Tucson), went to Desert View High School. :cool: Want to trade for dual SU's? I don't have the intake though. . Link to comment
Phlebmaster Posted September 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 What about a tranny?? Does anyone have a spare tranny to trade? I am not particular about 4spd or 5spd. I prefer "whatever fits the way it sits", if you know what I mean. lol Just an idea.... ;) Link to comment

lynchfourtwenty Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 i'll look at it an see what it looks like.. an take pics an crap, the tranny itself has never givin me a problem.. doesnt grind at all in any gear.. even goin into reverse after sittin over night it goes right in.. but if it sits for a long time its best to double tap the clutch first.. but i dont think that has anything to do with the tranny i think its somethin along the lines of the slave cylinder or t.o bearing or something.. i'd even let ya test drive the truck with it first if ya want Link to comment

I am willing to trust you on this. My tranny grinds into first, grinds into second, grinds into.....well you get the idea. :lol: It has about 275,000 miles on it. It might be the synchros, but I am not sure. It has a new clutch master cylinder and slave, and the clutch never slips. Link to comment
lynchfourtwenty Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 ya im not sure about mine but i do know it works fine.. i would flush it an run some redline MTL gear oil.. should last you a long time Link to comment
Phlebmaster Posted September 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 Sounds like a deal...just let me know when you want to do the trade. We could meet half way if you like. :D Let me know. Link to comment

lynchfourtwenty Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 so just so were clear.. that engine needs some timing cover bolts, head bolts, cam gear, oil pan bolts, a gasket set and freeze plugs.. curious but would a l20b sprocket work?? also it needs a dizzy, intake/exhaust mani's an water pump?? it looks like it has a oil pump? oh an hows the rod bearings?

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yep should work, yes, yes-yes, and yes. :lol::lol: Does that answer your questions? I know Allen Dodson has some head bolts and so does edakotaford for free. They may also have the cam gear too. Link to comment
lynchfourtwenty Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 i have a cam gear, but the head bolts would be handy are those guys on here? Link to comment
Phlebmaster Posted September 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 I have a dumb question...is your tranny the long tail 4spd or a short tail? I am pretty sure my 73 has the short tail, (I will have to measure it). What would I need to change to make the long tail 4spd fit? I think I will need to stick with the same sized tranny as I have right? I guess I would like you to measure yours and I will measure mine. hehe Link to comment
