While my oppurtunity is still present, 340 forged crank or 360 r turned down crankshaft?

Doubt anyone will have a deal for a 360. Let alone gas money and extra 50 lbs they bring with them. Spring fling has suprised me beforr though.

Plan is to re gasket Blue 72, to my knowledge bone stock, slap together performer and 650 on for now. 86 is from you guys say will be a one I want to take time on to do right. Ran before I pulled but leaked everywhere. Wanna maybe go with magnum aluminum heads. Shame too, 86 heads were 302 j...

Thanks fellas, I know time is need to do this work. Clay Smith shop is not far from me so when I really get the chance I would send a block there. Until then working out of my garage. Hyd to solid a swap and go, or machining needed?

Guilty, learning on budweiser budget with champange taste until budget provides luxuries. One need to run sooner the later, while other gets to sit until better parts come along.

400 at flywheel, less is fine aswell with what is around. 360 would be nice but people are asking to much for those lately. Would like a 360 crank to cram into either 318. performer intake and holley 650 with 1 inch spacer. Rockers on 86 are blown through aswell aswell head leak.

Plan is to have a spare short block, swap heads and aim to have 400 fwhp down the line from one of the 2. Needed to know what would interchange to keep, remove to sell, and what to toss.

Heads leak bad on 86, thank you for mentioning heads can interchange, 340 crank was for future build with 86 and maybe sometime aluminum heads, and said rockers. 86 has speedpro hyper .030 over pistons, isky 270 hyd cam. 72 was for noatalgia type drivetrain. Conver 86 to solid then.WAY LATER...

Block is not able to run taking parts off to sell block and heads. Can the 72 block be of use needs head gaskets and freshen up. 86 needs more then.

Care to share why? 86 has yes a roller cam, hyd lifters, 73 340 crank. Would prefer to sell 86 block. 340 internals 318 Blue 72 block would be me goal atm. Maybe get a solid roller comversion. Wanna build a reliable Blue 72. "YOUR MY BOY BLUE!"

Searching for information on what would make the best interchange for these two blocks. Prefer to keep the Blue 72 and sell a bare black 86 block and heads. Would like to get adjustable rockers. Wonder if cams can swap/interchange over. Will be mated with a 72 904, 8.75 or ¾ 3.23 489 Thanks in...

Reclying aluminum to repurpose into chassis frame interpretations of the real muscle cars of then, lube oil on the house:steering:. Smiles per mile

SBP A-Body Axles with green bearings, going up to current news. 904 Is leaking from pan, engine leaks coolant from driver side head, and power steering needs to come out regardless due to leak. Need to set lokar linkage on trans kickdown. Shifter now obstrucing driveshaft clearance. Solder...

Fighting currently driveshaft lengths, own one 52 ⅜" and 2 other longer 7¼ drive shafts. One is short and other 2 are too long. Short one when installed makes a clicking type noise before park gear attemps to engage. Did I do something wrong? Missing something? Sticks out of the 904 tail cone...

Currently from the back-to-front the 7¼ to 8 3/4 swap was relatively simple as well as upgrading from the 10" to 11" drum brakes. Originally wanted this to be all around disc but for originality's sake and conversion sake this is much easier to get down the road at a earlier date. Hardware...

Been another year and change... Here is whats been going on below. Update 4/17/2023

Welcome senor heck of a find!

Need to also patch a tear in the exhaust outlet, during mockup fitting. But good news is I needed to shorten both by a few inches, at least I have a starting. May splurge on 2.5" 15° or 45° elbows. Dare I say it? Any tips? Or advice?

Thanks Rusty.

Try that on for size, got to setup and adjust lokar cables atm. Find park on 904, and make sure key start connects but at the moment it is a roller.

It has fired up! Yeehaw fellas now time to tighten everything up!

What are the gosh Shartin odds I sign in the almost exact year in different from where I was. I am excited to tell you that I am completely able to do engine start up tomorrow and by the end of this month be able to go drive it to get it registered at the DMV Wish me the best, help post any...

Is the water pump pulley still for sale?

Now trying to be current the Doug's headers are now installed, 2.5" exhaust has been cut, welded,& clean prepped and mock up fitted successfully. In waiting atm for engine wiring harness from year one, which has been a several month delay to say the least. Also finally caved, threw in the...
