    Engine Rebuild & Install Cost

    If it rolled into a reputable shop they’d say buy a new motor which is what I’d do. I didn’t tell them I needed to keep the current motor. It’s not numbers matching.

    Yea. That was my feeling too. This was the estimate. I’m like hell no.

    Engine Rebuild & Install Cost

    $10k ain’t enough? You can buy a whole new motor for $10k

    I've got four little kids under 5 and no time.

    Engine Rebuild & Install Cost

    It's a punch in the face because it was a fresh engine. Part of me feels like I should just walk away from this money pit.

    Engine Rebuild & Install Cost

    The motor literally has like 200 miles on it. They were forged. Issue is apparently the head gaskets were toast from who knows why (this thing has sat for years after the motor was installed) and when they drained the oil they got a bunch of metal coming out and coolant.

    Engine Rebuild & Install Cost

    Well, I can get an entirely new crate engine with all the accessories for $10k with at least all of the options. I'd have thought $1-2k for install on a crate. This place was reusing my pistons and other parts, so I'd have thought $6-7k.

    Engine Rebuild & Install Cost

    I'm getting quoted $10k to rebuild my existing engine and install it. I think that seems stupid high, but someone tell me otherwise. It's a 408 stroker currently, which got fraged by debris. I expect that they're reusing the heads, intake and accessories.

    Metallic Ting Sound form Engine

    Got my 73 back. Stroked 408 Small Block. It’s not been tuned, but I’m hearing a metallic ting sound fairly consistently—especially at idle. It seems to be from the motor. I hadn’t noticed it until today. Car sat out in the rain, under two covers, but some water pooled on the flat of the intake...

    HORRIBLE backfire issue

    Yeah, I'd check the carb tuning. If it was recently rebuilt and you haven't dialed it in that will do it for sure. You can probably google around and find a good guide on tuning that carter.

    360 Budget Ideas?

    Why the double pumper? I'd think you'd be doing better with a vac secondary carb. As I understand it, double pumpers are best for track cars or very light cars, but a 4150 style carb is the way to go for the street on our cars. Also, I have to agree with 70-rrbrian, 750 is too much carb. I am...

    360 Budget Ideas?

    You can have a mopar electronic ignition new for less than $200. It should be plenty of spark for what you want.

    Swapping 904 to 727

    Yeah, I think Big_Jim is right. He's just talking about the driveshaft end where the u-joint is located. Once it's cut to length, it will have to be rewelded and rebalanced.

    Rocker Shaft Holddowns

    Yeah, I guess I will...I think Mancini has a set and since they are mancini arms they should work without a problem...I'll see what they recommend.

    Pulleys for AC Car...help

    Does anyone know the correct pulleys for an AC/Powersteering small block? My pulleys seem to be incorrect. How many grooves do I need on the crank & wp pulleys?
