Did the same thing for the Justy recovery trip last year, except I left all the SAE wrenches at home and took a minimalist set of metric. Left my BFH at home too, I wanted to buy a new one and it was easier to buy one out there than wedge it into the bag. Still haven't used the IR temp gun I bought out there, either. I should find that and play with it some or at least make sure the two-cent bargain basement batteries it came with aren't pissing electrolyte all over the inside of the battery compartment.

I don't have square, but I do have PayPal. larrywiedefeld@yahoo.com In other news, I'm waiting to for djdanno to hit me up with some new pics of the engine and stuff, to try to start putting together a shopping list for engines. Been reading up on the stovebolt place about swaps, and it looks like pretty much most SBC motors up to about 1986 plug in without too much trouble. I'm getting conflicting reports about the bellhousing though. Some most V8's can plug right in, but then this guy is saying not so much: http://www.stovebolt.com/techtips/engines/bellhousings.html Of course, remember what people were saying about a school bus earlier?  http://www.stovebolt.com/techtips/engine_swap2_302.htm ExplodingSims fucked around with this message at 00:05 on May 14, 2016 |

kastein posted:Dumb question, why can't you use stud-piloted wheels with conical lug nuts and forget about the whole issue, rather than all this goofy poo poo about making a hub adapter and keeping the flat hub-piloted lug nuts? Are the lug studs not precisely located on the hub-piloted hubs/drums or something? I've never really understood this, if everything is well designed and accurately machined either should work as long as the right lug nuts are used. Put singles on it though, and you can stud pilot all day long. Hell, the truck even has conical nuts on it, but they don't act on the wheels themselves, there's actually a plate between the nut and wheel. It's one of those weird GM things, they did that into the mid-'90s on their hub piloted duallies. Likely just cheaper than using flanged nuts.

 A POTENTIAL ENGINE HAS BEEN FOUND According to Djdanno, he has someone who's selling a cheap 1967 292 I6. Not as exciting as a V8, but doing some cursory research it looks like it drops in without too much hassle. If the stovebolt forums were less terrible I'd have an answer by now!

Yeah, this is the goal right now, find an engine that can work with the current transmission and doesn't require a lot of loving around to get in there. Once it's back in Florida however, then it's time to put the biggest engine possible in it.

Here's your inspirational pic of the day.  Came across a gentleman driving this 1930 Indian. Asked where he was going. "Huntsville Alabama" Wow! Where did you come from? "Upstate Washington, it's hard to find these bikes so when I did I flew up there and I'm bringing it back home" wow! How are you doing? "Cold". Just saying, if this guy can drive a 90 year old motorcycle across the nation diagonally then a Chevy dump should be no problem!

Most of them have had the multifuel compensators removed by now and they are incredibly heavy, fuel hungry, gutless, unreliable pieces of poo poo. Put literally anything else in there. Source: I own one and want it out of my truck with all undue haste. Make sure you check if the transmission is salvageable before buying a new engine that fits it well. If the trans is junk that leaves you with no real reason not to slam a 350 and whatever random 80s cast iron 4/5 speed it comes with in there.

If the 292 has a power steering pump bracket you can sell that and recover the total cost of the engine since you won't need it anyway.

Source: I own one and want it out of my truck with all undue haste. Yeah this is what I'm really afraid of. Because if the transmission is shot then this is going to turn into a real problem because as I understand it this truck has a closed driveshaft and switching to it anything more modern like past 1959 is going to require strict transitioning to an open driveshaft. Which of course means having the switchover the drive shaft the rear differential , tires,etc. According to Danno the transmission seems halfway decent though.

I'm not sure what you mean by closed drive shaft, do you mean it's not serviceable or what? There are a poo poo load of drive shaft yoke adapters out there, you may be able to make stuff work without having to swap the rear end. But hopefully that transmission is good

Do you mean it has a torque tube?

Yeah. Here's the best answer I've seen about open vs. closed driveshafts: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/can-someone-please-explain-to-me-open-drive-vs-closed-drive-rear.465627/ Some dude on the HAMB posted:A closed driveshaft looks like this-the torque tube is a large, hollow tube that is attached (fixed-it doesn't move) to the rear end and the transmission-it physically ties them together. The drive shaft is a seperate piece, inside the torque tube. The torque tube does not rotate-it is instead a part of the rear suspension. Someone much smarter than me will tell us what it does. An open drive shaft is the most common-it serves no function other than to transfer power from the trans to the rear end and "floats" (slides) back and forth a little on the spline trans shaft as the rear end move up and down. Hope this helps. The reason to change is almost always due to the fact that old cars had high gear ratios and new transmissions are made to work with open drive shafts.
