So we where scrounging around pick and pull seeing what we could see. Lots of carburated SBC's to choose from, so I will be able to hopefully find one that will work. This weekend it is 75 bucks (you read it right) for a COMPLETE engine, from the air filter to the exhaust manifold!!!! So Looking around dad spotted what looked like a good 400 SBC (he said something about rare...) It was from a Impala, 70 or so. (anyone have any way of identifying it? engine code numbers? I couldnt find anything online..)
Anyways, my question was one of dads comments. He said that the 400's had a harmonic balancer. Would there be any reason why that harmonic balancer would make it NOT work? Oh While where in pick and pull, we'll be picking and pulling certain things from other engine's so that we have one "complete" engine. My dad said something about high performance ignition and dizzy... What cars would have that factory? What else should I "Swap"? Come on v8 guys I know your out there!! Andrew |

Alright gotcha.
There was lots of 70's and 80 camero's there.. Would there be anything from that? Andrew Hmm maybe take the 400 engine AND another engine.. build up the 400 for later.... Hmmmm Now if I can focus on the task at hand.. There are lots of 80's cars, and some 70's cars, What would have the engine I need? Andrew |
