Hi Guys,I started getting the 302 ready to pull out.Just got a few bellhousing bolts and the torque converter nuts.And it is ready to pull.Then start on the 71 to get that motor out and get it ready to put in the 78.Then maybe the next day or two get the 390 out of the other 78 and get it ready to go in the 71.And get the frontend swaped out of the 78 to the 71.Just thought I would let you guys know.Tony

 

Tony,That sure is alot of work,let us know how it goes.

 

One motor out,too many more to go.LOL.Going to start on the 71.After i get rid of this dang headache.Then back at it again.Just thought I would keep you all up to date.Later Tony

 

how many more to go 2?

 

All together there was 3.Got the motor and trans out of the 71 before it go dark.And also done some cleaning on the 78 engine compartment.So tomorrow going to do a llittle more cleaning and change a couple gasket/seal.And get the 302 in the 78 and try to get it going for the wife.Then start cleaning the 71 and get it ready for the 390 and frontend swap.Tony

 

Sounds like it is going well.

one of these days, Im gona invite everyone to my houhse for a meeting/get together/cookout, but anyone is welcome here anytime.

 

Had to order a part today.Had to get a new Flexplate and got a new starter too.Flexplate should be here this afternoon or in the morning.Plus it rained all morning too so that didnt help neither.And i did get some more cleaning done to 78 so it ready to go.Guess im going to start to take the trans off the good 302.Then just do the waiting game.

 

tanman how did it go today?

 

I got the flywheel and got it on.I got new motor mounts and the was drilled wrong so had to take them back and got another set.Got them on and go the engine sit in and got the trans lined up and three bolts in the trans.So it is coming along.Got a couple friends coming over this morning hopefully will get it running today.

 

Got it all back together this evening.Got it running and moving on it own power.So that one done.One more to go.And that is the 71 which is going to take more time to do.On the 78 need to change tire on it and test drive it to make sure it is ok.Then the wife can have her truck back.Tony

 

Thats great Tony I know your wife will be happy it's on the road again.

 

Tanman; If you have any spare time I still have a motor to pull out.
