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 |

Good timing.
Just got the engine! Pooped I'll post about it tomorrow. 305 84 from some chevy (not camaro) total cost 120. Might be able to clean it up and just run it! turns over good, has good compression. eldenbrook vavle covers (Woopie, gota be 30hp there..) stock exhaust manifold, carb (tiny bends cus the engine rolled over in our garage.. Ooh Lets put it on a Hooser, the engine hoist doesnt reach all the way to the ground! go away for 6 hours.. find the engine upside down.. oops..), intake manifold, like new alternator and everything else attached to the engine. Oh and daddy got the engine out of the 924S (944 engine, 944 everything on that car) and the trani, I got the radiator fan, the radiator is aluminum so I'll buy that just to throw on ebay or keep as a spare, but its still in the car, so we have to go back monday or tomorrow to get everything we still want. Also some koni yellow shocks we'll pick up. The headers that where laying on the ground for the engine we encluded in the engine, starter. bla bla bla Productive day.. Doesnt feel like it (4 hours to pull the 944 engine... and no, that hood will never close again.. we took the engine out from the top, susposed to go out the bottom..... Oh well.. I think im going to either go to sleep, or go clean the sbc.... andrew Andrew |
