82zephyr Posted April 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 Little update. I finally got the motor. 83 5.0 either came out of a box truck or motorhome. It also came with a oil cooler and remote oil filter. Another update. Me and the wife finally put our grill together.

82zephyr Posted April 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 Well right now im at a stand still. The motor I have will not release any part off of it grip. Water Pump bolts just spin and it may have thrown a rod. Cant turn it over. Road block after road block. Its like aomething doesnt not want me to build this car.

82zephyr Posted April 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 I got a little bit of wprk dpne on the motor today finally got the water pump off and found this But on a good note the motor does turn over. I just my engine stand bolts for the arms to the block were too long and hitting the flywheel not allowing it to spin. I was also told ot was a 80k motor but lookong here for how clean the head is and valve cover I bet its way less. One day next week I want to pull a head. But now pland have changed instead of just dropping it in the car im going to blow the motor apart and build it. Im thinking trick flow heads and idk the rest so far. Maybe stroker maybe not. Oh also found out the motor is a 78 and not a 83 like I was told. Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
