Yea, I have made some changes, including 4.56s, slicks and now a 100 shot of nitrous. Still finalizing my entire fuel line situation, upgrading from 5/16 to 6an that i got for free from a buddy. Still probably gonna rework it again soon, I dont like the electric fuel pump mounting situation with...
Yes, they're standard bore 2295s that are floating in the rods instead of pressed, as they can do both i think. I do have the 1/16 rings too Used pb blaster when honed, what i had at the time to do just one cylinder. Kept spraying it as I went with drill. Now that I researched more on it...
They're on a set of 15 x 10 Bassett wheels with 5.5 inch backspace right now
I will send pics later, price wise I'd probably do 200, but they're pretty nice and I gotta spend to take them off the wheels
But then I have to pay twice over on machining costs when I buy everything else piecemeal, no? At least with this i can just get the 30 over piston and they're close on weight instead of having to resize rods and polish the crank and balance. I quoted a couple machine shops, all in on the...
I honestly never even saw his posts before, I dont know how my searches are filtered by the search engine here, so it is a crap shoot as for what I see even if I only search in the want to sell forums. I base my prices and "value" on a lot of the parts and everything on the FB marketplace...
Yeah, I just can't find those, I dont know if Hawaii is isolated from the rest of the country but I can't find a rebuildable forged crank with decent heads for under at least 1500$, and that's a block that is seized
That's where I am with the situation
Side note is 1200 high? I honest to god do not know what a 69 hp block is worth. I mean obviously infinite to the right person, but I'm talking realistic numbers
Idk what it's worth to be honest, and I do have a person that said he'd do a grand, but he's a month or 2 out for getting money. He said its worth to him 800-1500$ depends on condition. I know the block is worth a lot more to a restorer than it is to me, so if someone wants it and is willing to...
Standard bore 440 block - 1969 model year HP motor
Needs to go overbored, standard bore right now though.
$1200 OBO, but trades for a 440, any year, standard bore and honeable to use standard bore pistons preferred
Will ship on your dime, or pickup in Chicagoland area
Pistons are out, its a bare block. This is by far a low budget slap it together and see what it does build, I know it will bite me in the *** but it is what it is
If it NEEDS it though and there's no other option I guess it has to go to the machine shop
Will do, I think i damn near killed that one, it started to chatter the walls. Will get a coarse grit and start going at it. Would i be able to hone out the ridge with a coarse grit, finish it then mic it and check? Its up to 10 over i can send it with the pistons right? At least that's what the...
Yeah, the 3 honing stone type. Run of the mill tool loaner from orielly, though it was new in box. Whatever, spent no money on the tool so it is what it is
So, finally got to honing a cylinder on this 440 block to examine condition through all the surface rust. Can't get some of this rust, and looks as if there's a very noticeable ridge a little down a 1/4 inch from the deck. Assuming this needs to go to machine shop? Mostly worries about rings not...
Side topic, if you're starting from stock suspension, would you go with the superstock springs or a full calvert setup? I think for the price, im leaning towards the calvert suspension because its honestly not that expensive, compared to some other setups
