Hey All,
Been few weeks, was oncall one of the weekends, ended up really tired and so another weekend so didn't feel like any garage time.
This Friday I took off work so I could get my motor in for disassemble and full rebuild.
We took the motor off the stand and had to get out the engine hoist to help. Did get the short block into the truck bed.
Took over to a shop 10 min away. Guy builds truck pull motors and has for very long time. He comes highly recommended. Him and his partner lifted out the motor and that was that. I have to email him what I want done.
I'm thinking set of eagle H-beam rods
(Cause this all I can find)
Forged pistons. Hopefully US made.
Depending on cost - 4 bolt main caps on middle 2
Valve job with new rockers, valves etc.
I will have them assemble the short block and I can put the rest on from their.
I did contact sportmachines in NY. Glad they still open. Tom said to send him a list of required stuff and he get me pricing.
I will also put in a new cam. Probably same as the original specs.
If anyone has some suggestions/recommendations for engine internals, let me know.
Next weekend (and it's a long weekend in Ontario! May 24) is the floor pan replacement. It's time to start that repair. Better order the white por-15
Talk soon
