Radio tech, I guess since your working on that equipment you have a TS clearence.

 

Those look similar to our stuff. But what we have doesn't look that nice.

I would tell you, but then I would have to kill you... lol

 

Finally, some progress!

Managed to get the engine/trans installed today:



There is a starter in there somewhere......


Intake and exhaust are finally together!



Next Sunday I'll put the wiring, PS pump, alt back on and reinstall the front clip..........

 

Evan you must be using our competitors case... Harding

 

Looks awesome Don!

I don't know. I don't pay attention to who makes the boxes. Most of our radios are made by Harris or General Dynamics.

Won't be too worried about that much longer once my medical separation goes through. What part of oregon you in? And does your company hire vets?

 

Don Keep the pics coming, looking good.

Even GD is one of our biggest contracts, but they also make there own cases and use harding ones.

 

Things would go faster if Mike wasn't sitting down on the job posing for pictures. LOL Looking good. Which manifold did you get? Jeff

 

Offenhauser 360 with a Holley 390 cfm. Now I have to work for the next 6 days till I can get back to work on it.........

 

I was curious because of the orientation of the carb. I like to learn things, especialy outside the box. Saved my behind more than once. Jeff

 

If I remember right you said this engine came out of a forest service rig?

The engine must of been changed out at some point. It had a stock bore and a stock crank with almost no wear, and the cam was unworn also. The engine had the right valve cover for a 71, but had a point dizzy instead of a dura spark.......?

Just saying.........

 

I believe so. I thought there was a sticker on the valve cover with the specs and adj. specs. It was common in those days for the local office to have thier own mechanic and shop. When the milage reached "X" a long block would have been ordered and installed in house. Not like now, where they have an unlimited amount of our money to *&^%$#$%^ away on new. When you first said that the inside condition was so good I was thrilled. Very happy with the swap on this end. Like I said before friendship is always more important than car parts.

 

I couldn't agree more!

 

Don, what tranny are you using in it?

 

I'm using a Ford toploader 3 speed.

You can see it back in post #48..............

 

Very cool! Saw it but couldn't tell if it was a 3 or 4 sp.
