I am selling a Cadillac 390. Pulled from a running donor ‘62 Eldorado about 2 years ago. I had aspirations of freshening it up and dropping it...
That makes sense. So there's no performance gain from blocking the crossover port? I'll see if I have some other intake gaskets lying around....
After a nice 4 month hunt through all the parts yards and car clubs in my area, I finally broke down and bought an ECZ 9425-B intake on ebay. This...
Tax season's coming up. I'd like to put some cash into my truck. I put an older 292 Y block 3 or 4 months ago, but my buddy I got it from said it...
I'm pretty sure the cam lobe is fine. The adjustment screw on the rocker can be tightened by hand. I make it just snug enough with a wrench,...
I thought I had fixed the problem, but on my way to the shop I guess the rocker came loose again. It seems to back out quite a bit after very...
As it turns out, the valve lash on the exhaust valve was so out of whack that the pushrod just came unseated from the lifter and fell through....
Thought about it. Unfortunately, I'm having some valve issues with my truck that might not be fixed in time for the event. Post pics if you end...
Unfortunately, I'm not going to be home until later on tonight. If I were to be looking for a bad exhaust valve, would it be on cylinder 7 or...
I pulled plug wires while the motor was running just now. When I pulled the wire for cylinder 7, the popping and backfiring went away entirely....
I took a look under the cap and didn't see any signs of damage or anything. How would I be able to verify this? I'm probably due for new plugs...
The plugs are a little fouled. But nothing that wouldn't fire. Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
Howdy. I have a 292 Y block in my '58 F100. Its been running pretty solid since I threw it in a few months back. I put a new Edelbrock 1406 on,...
Thanks for looking out Saxon. The motor is from a truck to the best of my knowledge. Either way, I'm sure Carquest has the stuff I need, just in...
I already have some pics posted. You can probably see it there. Saxon, I'm pretty sure you have the mount I need. If you want to PM me your...
I am located in the burning apocalyptic wasteland of Bakersfield, CA. Holy hell its hot today. And I work on a roof too. Posted using the Full...
Thanks for the words, F-ONE. The main reason I'm considering keeping the T98 is because I already have the clutch set up specific to that...
It looks like I may just run a length of square beam across my frame, and then mount the motor there. My buddy had his ran like that, no problems...
Definitely agree. I'd like as little downtime as possible. He may have just ran a few bolts straight through his front crossmember. Posted using...
Wolf, the motor is from a truck. Saxon, thanks for your help. I'm gonna pull the thing out this weekend. See exactly what I'm working with. My...
This is what I'm working with. Sorry about the greasy motor and trans. I drive this thing every day to work. Not much time to degrease. Posted...
Saxon, want to PM me a price for that mount? I may actually need it for this weekend Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
I do know that the bell on my T98 has a slave cylinder for the clutch. Like I said, I'll take a closer look later on after work. I believe the...
I'm going to get a closer look at what I have in my truck currently. The bellhousing on my t98 has tabs for the clutch and everything. Might just...
Thanks for the info guys. As you can probably tell, I know jack and shit about the 292. And jack just left town. I took some quick pictures with...
It was in my buddy's truck. A '49, I think. I pulled the bellhousing off the 292, since it goes to a different 4 spd. It looks like the...
Howdy. Scored a nice 292 from my buddy. I'm going to cut to the chase, I currently have a 223 in my 1958 F100, with a T98 4 speed behind it....
What's up, nelsoncoupe. I'm stoked to see what you'll whip together. I'm in the same boat, chipping away at a list of cool shit I want my truck....
I have a 223 straight six in my '58 F100. I already have a modded mechanical advance distributor. I'm running a holley 94 on the stock intake. The...
Hey luke, I got my distributor working. Faulty connection, just had to clean up a wire in the distributor. I posted a tutorial on the conversion...
