YES!!! That’s exactly what I was looking for! I remember poring over each and every detail of that site years ago but I could not find it to save...
There used to be a several page site with detailed pics and info on the engine build, now there’s none, just info about Leo’s wreck, prior to...
I’m deeply saddened that all information on this car seems to have been lost. I recall reading thru page by page the custom machine work on the...
Good to know about the rms. Maybe I’ll put a new one in while I’m at it. As for here vs pirate4x4, I’m not on pirate4x4 (yet) and this project...
Or I can get a 10.4 with 10 splines for a 66 Chevy II with a 283...?
Rockauto shows 1964 Chevy II with a 230 I-6 using a 10” with 10 spline...? Sound right? Would that be tough enough for low-rpm crawling?
Only $39 on eBay for the insert
Here you go, several options for the friction plate replacement. May still need some machining work though to recess it into your aluminum....
If it’s 153 teeth, that is...
I’ll return your investment and find a way to make it functional!
So found the flywheel I need by searching 1968 Camaro 302ci gets me a 153t for only $54, but the clutch for that make/model is like 26 spline...
Dang, can’t beat $43 with a stick! I looked up the bellhousing number and it says it won’t work with a sm465, 4.65” bore vs 5.125” bore, but I can...
Is it possible to run a flywheel that came from a boat sbc? The name of the game with this build is cheap, and even used I can’t find a flywheel...
Oh maybe this image upload works...
I can’t upload a pic of my bell housing but it is an aluminum one with casting number 3858403 casted into it. No idea where it came from but has...
Hey all I’m taking a 250 that was from a 64 Nova and mating it to a sm465 4 speed from an old truck (has a transfer case) the 250 is originally...
I'd use it. I wouldn't pay $500 for it, but if I had the option of that or a 9" for the same price, I'd pick the IRS... And as stated already, it...
Cool thanks for the info guys! Yeah maybe rat is the wrong word, a "untraditional hot rod" might be a better term. Should I go with flat top...
Well maybe you guys are right. So I shall rephrase my question. How would I go about hitting 300hp at the crank with a 283, and minimal overbore?...
I just like little motors that can rev. Thinking I'll get a 9" rear at the yard outta a truck and gonna aim for 4.10 gears if I can find it....
So does that mean I've got the thin casting? If I'm gonna spend the money for pistons and boring, might as well go for .060" and get the extra 5 ci.
Block number is 3849852, my searching says 65-67 283... Correct me if I'm wrong.
This is the one my friend is building. I figure I've got a half rusted out Sprite parts car to steal some sheet metal from, and I've got a spool...
I was under the impression that the later year 283 blocks were the thicker walled casting? If it's the thinner one then I may just do a stock...
So a buddy gave me a free complete engine (unknown miles, etc, he got it from somebody else who got it from somebody before that) I've been...
