So now here is a new wrinkle on my 66 Sat build. We got the whole thing put back together with the new motor/engine. Just a brief run down. Old motor had a sever knock to it. Replaced it with a new re-built short block and swapped over all the parts except the bottom end to the new motor. The...

Yep!!! I told ya!!!! See I wasn't playin' around now. It is done and back together. At least everything is where it's supposed to be except the Battery Tray and that hooked up. All bolts, sleeves, nuts, washers, fittings, bushings, connectors, wires, linkages, couplers, you name it, has been...

Well after sweating my butt of along with my Crew Chief Jon aka. 69a100, we got the new motor in and married up to the overhauled tranny. This build of mine is really an *** Pain. It never wants to cooperate no matter how thoroughly and meticulously I plane and do dry runs with it. But, we at...

In about an hour I am going to be picking up my 727TF tranny from the shop after they have completely gone over it and fixed the problems caused by the first shop. I will give you all in a day or two what they found wrong and what was replaced and fixed. Let's just say that after all the $$$$'s...

In the General Discussion Forum I stated that I am in a kind of "Grumpy" mood and I can attribute it to the on-going saga of my 66 Sat Project. To bring everyone up to date, I have had operation problems with the tranny along with 383 build that were done back in 2005-6 while I was Deployed with...

Now that the heat has subsided...at least for the short term...here in N.Cali, I am off to work on the Motor today and then fire up the grill with my Brother...car is at his house...for a smoked Tri-Tip, fresh home grown Corn...the Yellow kind and not that white Sweet Corn stuff they sell here...

Yesterday I pulled the 383 out of my project to begin tear down and swap of components to the replacement 383 I now have. On installing the lifters every one was slightly snug except for one which would not completely seat to the cam lobe. Inspecting with my finger, there appears to be a slight...

For those that know about all the troubles I have been having with my current 383 in my Satellite project, I am going to check this out and hopefully get the current problem 383 resolved. I got a post on the General Discussion Forum as well. Now I will have 3 engine projects to deal with...

More pics of the 440 I got yesterday. As can be seen by the pics, it is rusty and needs a bake and sonic bore. So what do ya think Rusty??? Will it clean up and be serviceable????? I am particularly concerned with the lifter bores at the rear of the block and the rear of the block as that is how...

I will be heading up to Sacramento later this morning to check out a 440 that I stumbled upon for free on that "OTHER" site a few months back. The person I talked to had originally got it for his A Body project but instead went with a 340 set up. He said it came from a C Body so it just might be...
