I just picked up a complete Chevy 350 from Shane on Sunday.
Thanks bud! :awesomework: I had to completely disassemble it for two reasons, 1. I couldn't get it off my truck (too heavy and no lift... :booo: ) and 2. it needed to be taken apart anyways. It has a spun bearing on the #6 (?) cylinder. Worst I've ever seen.
It's a four bolt and I plan to have it cleaned and Magnafluxed before I start throwing money at it.
The plan is to build it right and really strong (hp), but not so much that I will need to spend tons of money on everything else just to run it. You know? :redneck: I'm thinking around 400-500 hp. It's not hard. I was thinking a 383 stroker... Eh, eh?
I've been looking at the stroker kits at www.strokerkits.com and was wondering what you would use the different stages of strength and weight for. I've been somewhat following the propane threads and I'm thinking I want to do that eventually. I will run high octane for the time being, it's better for the engine for the break in anyways. But, can you get that kind of hp from propane? Do you need to run a blower/turbo? Maybe eventually EFI the whole thing and run propane anyways? That's way down the road, though. Lots of $$$$ needed.
I want to sell my running gear and go with whatever tranny came behind it. Which one was it Shane? (It has a 4.8** granny 1st) And the 203/205 doubler. I'm thinking 4.88s for gearing w/ 38" (max) tires. And a 2.5" body lift to compensate the tires? I rub w/ 33s, rears up front, 6 1/4" shackles, and 1.5" drop hanger. Eventually, stock 93' YJ springs up front. What add a leaf should I go with for all the added weight?
With that said...what do you suppose I could get for a recently rebuilt 22re ( w/receipts), tranny, and 4.7 geared transfer case? What about the axles? They're pretty much stock other than added trusses, knuckle ball kit
, 1/4" front diff armor
, 10 mm drain plugs, V6 calipers
, 1.5" wheel spacers, and vented rotors?
Would I need to sell my high steer kit from TG in order to run other axles? What axles would be recommended? Lemme guess.....60s??? :corn: :haha:
I was thinking that or 9".... :corn:
BTW, for those of you who don't know...
I drive this...
'85 Yota long flat bed. Several mods.... http://www.the4x4network.com/forum/garage.php?mode=view_vehicle&CID=37
I'm waiting to hear back about my reservations for my outside booth for the upcoming swap meet in Puyallup. I thought about selling it all then and working from there being that the event is right around the corner... :stirpot:
Please no BS, people. I'm just looking for some guidance. Thank you for your time to read my post. I had difficulties using the search link. It probably works fine, but I'm a little retarded in that field. hehe
Pictures are worth a thousand words, BTW. :awesomework:
