Technical What are you working on?

Cummins oil cooler and oil filer housing gaskets

 

I’ve done more than a few of those!

 

Hope to drive it this summer for the first time in 35 years.

 

Worlds slowest engine assembly
Picked up these old lifters yesterday. NOS bulk lifters from Rocco and Cheaters

Slicked em up and slid em in

 

1937, 1955, and 1956: best lookin' trucks Chevrolet ever made; imho. I'd love to snag a '55 or '56 for a DD pickup.

 

Now that is a real score! I hunted ebay for months to create a full set of NOS GM lifters for my latest BBC. They can keep all these junk new lifters.

 

These are probably standadyne stock bulk lifters. That’s what the inside looked like. This shop hasn’t had new parts show up since the mid 90s.

 

Modified power window regulators

 

The 434 Big Block is done and ready for the 29 dodge. Hope the owner knows what to do with that much HP ! Should be terrorizing the streets sometime late next week. Yes the car has 3 pedals.

 

More power Scotty...

 

Boring ole timing chain

LocTite and torqued
Installed the oil galley plug with a little red loctite and pinged em with a spring loaded center punch

and silicon bronzed a couple spots on my pick up tube/screen

 

I'm working on getting around this Pilfer Proof tape so I can pilfer the contents

 

The whole torque curve is sweet!

 

Nice work my friend . I couldn’t have done better myself . I don’t say that to a lot of people ! Ha ha !

 

Damn the last time I saw that was on a HS date , her Dad worked for the Post Office .

 

Well, I was raised building fords. This is my first 283. The 350 I used in my bus was assembled by students and instructor. My students and I made it look good. We do all the fab work as well So I guess this is my first sbc without supervision.
Next time I might tap em and screw in pipe plugs. kinda didnt want to do that after I got this far

 

Yikes, that’s freight train torque, what it is going in sounds fun for sure.

Ha, I've never had a package with the pilfer proof before
