@Rustbin after this rebuild she might be in the upper double digits for horsepower I mean she rips!

[Slow Loris]

A little paint

 

 

and a few pistons for good measure

 

 

Spins nice and easy. 
 

Cam checks out ok. Rockers off to Delta for a refresh so, on pause til they come back. 
 

Pause? I mean painting the engine bay, fiddling with some seat hardware, and thinking about extending the exhaust so it doesn’t dump directly into the right rear brake drum.

They are too big, in hindsight. But the ride sure is nice! 205/75 on 15’s.

 

If I decide to lower it, I’ll have to change em.

 

Maybe I’ll do the wheels up in white like yours, that’s a good lookin vehicle you got.

 

 

[banzai510(hainz)]

maybe find if possibel later a 55 or 65  185/195 

50 series you really have to lower it down to fill in the gap

We are back.

Looks good. What is the machined aluminum piece on top of the carburetor?

It's an adapter to be able to run the OEM intake assuming it doesn't move it too close to the hood.

[banzai510(hainz)]

Nigga Plz!!!!!!!!!!!!

that looks good.

 

I would have painted the oil pan black as they all get oil on there and goes black anyways . but look good to me.

 

HOPEFULLY the oil pump has OIL in there already. otherwise your done.

 

 

what I did with my 521 I took the fuel pump off and pump the arm till the carb was full of gas and accell pump squirted gas. Otherwise it can take a while,

 

I pour oil over the rockerarms/cam  arms and down the  timing chain put valve cover back on . Bam th Mother fucker starteded right up if you got the dist dial close it.

Yep, adapter for the stock air cleaner. I had to shave some of the collar off the stock air cleaner clamp to get it to sit lower, but it clears ok.

@banzai510(hainz) thank you for the tips, yes sir pump full o oil. Couldn’t of done it without your video man.

 

Still got a bit to go before it’s ready to fire…gotta hook up all the doodads and whutnaughts and all that fun stuff but man it feels good to get that motor off the stand!
