Good idea. I didn't pu it on a stand due to space considerations. But eventually I'll have to put it on something to take it to a shop and to store it when I get it back. Everything is engineering a solution and your's is one of the best I've ever heard. I typically have no help but I think your...

It took some mental engineering but I finally got it done with the motor sitting on the garage floor. I used a bench box wrench to get to two of the four rebellious rod nuts. Although I could reach the last two with that wrench, the space between the crank lobes would not allow me to turn the...

I'll check with both and I appreciate your replies. I am going to being by having the block hot tanked and machined ( 30 over) and stored until I have the money for the stroker kit. For Brian T, tell me about it. I had a 66 Sport Fury with a modified poly-head 318 that was running hot. They had...

I'm not there but soon will have my block apart and ready to be boiled and then bored, machined, squared, and so forth. I was wondering if anyone knew of a reliable machine shop in the K.C. area that you would trust to do the work. Thanks.

I managed to get the cam out and now two pistons. The cylinders look fine so far. I can move the crank easily but rotating it has been a problem. If I could reach the last 4 nuts on the end of the rods, I could take the crank out and pop the pistons out. I have a different wrench that might...

I was holding my breath waiting for an answer. I thought I was going to hear I am screwed because the block is toast. This motor is slated for a stroke job and I was looking forward to it. The motor is sitting on its end but I have had it on its sides, upside down, you name it. How do I lift it...

I procured a 383 engine (sans head/intake) from a friend. I got the oil pan off, timing chain and all that. I removed the 5 main caps and bearings as well as the main seal bridge with no trouble. I am trying to unbolt the pistons from the bottom but cannot reach all the nuts unless I can turn...

This will help a great deal. I wish I could figure out what the "LL" means under the block number. Yeah, I realized this late casting is for 69. I have a made in 69 block from a Satellite so I guess it is considered a 70 block. Anyway, I appreciate the responses.

I traded a friend for a 1968 383 minus heads/intake. It has the correct block number 2468130 on both sides, and the date 12.26.68 and the clock as well (noon). But cast into the block on both sides, are the double letters "LL" under the block number and I can't find this in any book. Also, at...
