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, Well, I checked my voice messages(forgot my notepad, so I called myself to take notes (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) )
The "400" that dad was looking for an engine number (we where in a hurry.. so we couldnt find it) But it had a 2 barrel carb. Does this mean it was a 350 or 327 or smaller? We couldnt find the engine number, so we dont know if the owner switched the engine sometimes.. Dad said that they spraypainted the whole engine while in the car.. so that leaves to wonder. It was orange (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) so I didnt mind. Any idea's? Mueller. Well, alright, I'll talk to dad about it, but my guess is that its going to be a "Sure, Its your money, but I would do it" type thing. I agree with you that I cant skimp on cooling. Its just that I wanted to see if I could find some spares. Oh.. Hmm mark down electric fans on my to find list... Anything else? Oh ya, while we where there they had some porsche "Manhole covers" rims with tires 16in, where on a later model 924S that was out there. If there still there saturday, There mine... 70 bucks normal. 35 half off... Hmm can I pass that up? I think not... lol Muahaha, im a bargain basement buyer. They might be on ebay pretty soon (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Andrew |
