Whoo Hoo, just came from my machinists, Engines from Hal (Harold Norry) in Guelph, Harold is putting a short block together for me and he's ALMOST done. Should have it on MY engine stand very soon where I can finish her up with all the other goodies. That's one step closer to Arthur 2011

 

How Come Not Auto Serv???

 

Recomendations and reputation have a big say in where I do business. Harold comes highly recomended in the speed world and at the time I worked in Guelph so it was easy access, that was over 5years ago. Since then we have become very good friends.

 

Need my engine needs rebuild

 

Here is his web site Engines From Hal Tel.(519) 767-1532 Fax (519) 767-3220

 

Is he going to dyno the engine too or will you do that later?

Also what kind of money are you looking at, and did you have it balanced?

 

Red Ford, If the money is there I will dyno it, but as it stands now it will be on my stand for a while and I will install the parts that I have here. Yes is was balanced and line honed with ARP main studs holding the caps down. As for money, not sure, I'll let you know when I pick it up, soon I hope. This has been a looooong row to hoe my friend, what was supposed to be a 2-3 week project has turned into a 4 year stand-off. Lost my job in '08, then a FORCED retirement (long story) on a fixed income. Now MY calculator is broke hahahaha.

 

P.S I will post pic of the engine as i do it. Heads are done and I'll post some pics this weekend. Off topic. was in Hepworth this past weekend euchre turny at Legion won going to provincials in Gananoque in may

 

So, how's about some specs? Cam, heads, etc....

 

OK: Block- 400+.030 over bore, TMI 9.3 flat top pistons, block decked .010, line honed ARP rod bolts, ARP main studs, polished rod beams(my self) HEADS: cleaned up at .010, "smog bumps" in the exhuast taken ouy (my self) exhaust ports gasket matched and smoothed out (my self) 3 angle valve job, single groove valve (stock) Crane roller rockers (GOLD) guide plates and studs, double valve springs with damper, titainium retainers, single groove locks. CAM: Comp Cams roller Dur. 218/244 @ .050 lift .555/.555 @ .050, retro fit roller lifters ADD ONS: holley mechanical fuel pump and carb (700) hi volume oil pump, roller timing chain and gears,Performer 400 intake, Black Jack headers, 2 1/2 exhaust with cross over, remote oil filter. Thats about it. Ithink I will have about $3500- $4000 in the engine.

 

I'm looking forward to hearing it and seeing it.

 

Good luck, maybe with your winnings you'll be able to buy some more parts

 

Yeah, I don't think I could buy a rebuilt 400 with those parts and labour for that kind of money. On the lighter side, the euchre turny for the Legion is always fun, it's just a looong way to go for a day of cards, friends and afew beers lmao.

 

Don't drive the 400 to the tournament it'll be an expensive trip
Gas prices at $1.23.. arrrrgh!
