ExplodingSims posted:Yeah, I'm thinking anything with rubber in it that's essential to the engine is going to need to be replaced for the drive. It was designed to not have power steering, hence the giant steering wheel to give your puny arms a chance. I would say wheel cylinders leaking like no tomorrow is your biggest death probability. Second would be carbon monoxide, third gas explosion, fourth truck rolls over you while you are trying to fix 1 2 or 3.

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.

You can buy an intake that will let that Buick have a distributor and carb. All you need then is a hot wire to make it go and some gas.

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/nal-24502592 Here is the part number. Ebay is probably your best source as price seem to be going up. I think there is an optispark block off plate you need also. Maybe I am thinking about an electric water pump though. This is what happens when you stockpile LT1s in your garage and try to figure out what to do with them. They are so cheap when the optispark shits the bad for the 4th time. Brand:Chevrolet Performance Manufacturer's Part Number:24502592 Edit: I think you can drill new holes in any old SBC intake also. Which for this project is probably the AI way to go if you really want your SBC to be a messed up Frankenstein. I would just find any truck engine with manual transmission complete and strap it in place with ratchet straps if it were me. It is unlikely you are ever going to be able to stop the truck without dying so no need to plan for reliability. I would just find something like this on the way. https://indianapolis.craigslist.org/pts/5562499775.html Elephanthead fucked around with this message at 16:02 on May 31, 2016 |

I am going to pretend I am the Gen II small block AI expert. Corvette LT1s have 4 bolt mains. You have to pull the pan to confirm. Roadmasters and caprices have cast iron heads, camaros and corvettes have aluminium heads. The corvette flywheel is a dual mass cluster gently caress made to make the balls to the wall six speed less clunky. These are expensive. The camaro flywheel bolts on but you have to use a different disc to fit the vette sixspeed but this is probably not applicable here. A lot of 1996 camaros got the corvette LT4 version of the LT1 because the factory had them and the vette was not getting them anymore. This was also the replacement engine shipped out to save on warehousing. Also irrelevant. Most 150K examples of this engine have perfectly crosshatched bores still inside and need almost not work to get back to like new condition. I mean after 50 years of casting these blocks are made and machined right. All LT1 corvettes have a proper transmission bolted to the engine like god intended. The cast iron head flows better but sometimes overheats in performance applications. Edit: There is no aluminium block LT1 or LT4 second generation.

Shipping an engine using an LTL carrier is under $200. More if you don't drop off and pickup at the terminal. Uhaul will rent you a truck for $20. (Plus .50 a mile) Haha look at this https://indianapolis.craigslist.org/pts/5631836168.html 216 anyone? Elephanthead fucked around with this message at 20:40 on Jun 17, 2016 |

That is bull new trucks can tow 23,000 lbs. This weights 9,000. That gives you a good 7,000 for trailer weight (the amount a 24 foot electric brake trailer weights). I am not sure you will find someone to rent you one but finding a farm equipment shipper in Montana is probably pretty easy. I would guess there are oil equipment shipper just hoping to find a job to pay the equipment lease all over fracking country.

Ran when parked bowtie jags are the best jags. It is unusual to find one that is so ugly too though. Normally you can find spotlessly clean ones that don't run to drop a 350 in.

1947-1953: No ribs on the case Grooved worm on the input shaft instead of neoprene seal Synchro rings all differ from each other. 1st-2nd synchro ring is bronze Weep hole at 6 o'clock on the bearing retainer snout Six digit casting number on the case, usually like "59xxxx" e.g., 591665.

I don't think the TBI will squirt enough fuel to go over 4500, not that the heads would let in enough air anyway. So what I am saying is put in higher ratio rockers if you want to beat that Cessna and find a 454 TBI.

I think 22 inch rims are easy to find that will fit the rears just fine. For highway spares on your stop at every old truck graveyard journey.

Oddball GM motor for an oddball truck!

I like the idea of taking a 67 and bolting on 88 running gear. The body style is boring though. The 88 cradle just bolts right in. Yes same bolt holes. Then you can just buy $10 loaded calipers and things that fit on a million unit per year GM truck..
