Re: 1972 SWB Build

The LQ4 is going to the machine shop tomorrow. I called and he was 2-3 months out. I was like whoa nelly. We chit chatted a bit and came to a deal.

So tonight I am going to strip it down to the bare block. He said if I did some of the work and took the rotating assembly out, he would hone, re-ring, new bearings (main, rod, cam) and reassembly in 4-6 weeks. Boom, done.

Still talking to my trans guy. Going to do a stock rebuild with a HD2 kit. Should be good for what I am looking for.

Finally, some progress!

Current Plan:
LQ4 bottom end to machine shop to have it gone through, re-ringed, new bearings and reassembled
317 heads to Texas speed to have them CNC'd and rebuilt
Texas Speed cam & valve springs TBD
4l80e to the shop to be rebuilt

Start Ordering Parts:
standalone harness. PSI
Boyds tank
guages



Items to sell:
1970's era 350
1970's era TH400
