even back then...definitely something to consider

like they probably need guides? I'm just testing the ice right now. and reporting back. also CAD dollars are not as equal to USD. $200USD is $260CAD $60 pissin in the wind Heres a 350 I built in 1993? 94? for my 78 pontiac Parisienne 2dr I used to run bias ply and had kelly supercharger in the...

well I will get some more pictures and tear the block down the rest of the way and get it cleaned to to a shop to be looked over. I was told $450 a head to go 1.74 and hardened seats. The aluminum heads look nice but thats at least double. I'll see I guess

there is a ridge, more on the low side and top than the sides so all of the above. some pins are tight too. the oil rings are sticking though. the timing chain was super sloppy. I'm glad I parked it

The rod caps have a fly cut grove in them and the bearings have holes notched in them I guess to spray oil on the piston pins? none of the bearings I see online have that notch

I pullled the cam and pistons tonight. some rod bearing look like they were up to something. Some pistons look good, some maybe not. Not sure if that can be salvaged or not.

sorry if I come off a bit grouchy guys.

that one on ebay has cracked rubber too. Scat has some cheapies, I'm looking myself and ATI has a fair price...kinda (actually ati balancer for cast crank doesnt fit stock pullies it needs a spacer)

I could buy this for $8000 and pull the rebuilt 440 out of it and put it in my car. It might be cheaper

the thing is if the shop buys it I pay double. I might as well tow the car away for scrap because I cant afford to rebuild a simple engine. nobody stocks anything in Canada and if they do, its 3 times what rock auto or somewheres half decent in the states would charge. Pistons Are about $800CAD...

ok thanks. I just want to try to get the things he needs myself and save some money. I'll probably just get stock seals but the springs I would like to source myself. It sure isnt easy these days, every parts place in town does not sell internal engine parts, which just gives me shell shock and ptsd

Looks like 1.74 valves and seats redo the heads is about $450CAD per head. What springs should I get for them? something that will handle up to .525 lift or so? Is it worth it to cut the heads for positive seals?

did they induction harden that area? I heard rumor someone did.

I will use good oil I was using 15w diesel oil. but I keep hearing "after the cam breaks in you can run any oil you want" I'm not gonna test that. I realize its worn I was just curious about sabotage but if they all bag out like that, and I've had oil pressure drop on hard acceleration that is...

stock 22bl dish is 773.5g , the pin is 254g? By the sounds of it the balance wasnt the greatest to begin with and I should do it regardless Kb162 flat tops 1.908 height Something like that? KB162.030 Fits BB Chrysler 383, Bore 4.280, Stroke 3.380, Rod Length 6.358, Flat Top 5cc, 2 Valve...
