So you can turn these cranks and get whatever size bearings for them. That's good to know, cause the truck the engine for my CC came out of had 328,000 on the clock.

You gotta do what you gotta do but its too bad you have to sacrifice a Tudor to do it. I would like to rebuild mine just for the heck of it next winter.

Yea,I hate it.Its such a great project and I have done a lot of work so far.THe 4.6 looks like it belongs.It came out real nice.

IM NOT selling the T though.I have thought long and hard and I wanted one so long now that I have it I cant let it go.Besides,how many kids these days will be able to say they rode around when they were little in their familys Tmodel.

Honestly,right now all I can think about is this darn truck. I want the 41 gone and t done so I can tear the truck down to the frame and powder the frame,install the new trans and this engine.I also want to go over the body and make her beautiful again. Its garage kept so hopefully it will all wait till the engine is ready.

Glenn,get you a core and get started now.then all you have to do is swap it in. Heck,send it to me and ill hook you up.

That's to bad you have to get rid of a project Aaron. I saw it their on craigslist this morning. It seems like there is always to much to do and not enough time. It is time for some mods on Clifford though haha.

Yea,It sucks but Im really more into the truck anyway. I havent really touched the 41 in over a yr unless you consider going and getting the seats from my buddy. I would like to spend my time on the truck and Tmodel.
If it does not sell,I will keep and finish it.Its not eating anyting sitting in my garage and might even appreciate a few dollars.Mainly cause I will work on it..just not sure when. Either way,I am good with.

Selling it would help on household bills wich could help my truck budjet I hope anyway.... Hopefully this week I will go get my IC...

you getting anywhere on yours yet? or parts later this week maybe? I lose track of time and know it was cup tools holding it up...

clean block with fresh black paint,It was starting to look not as free of rust so I painted the out side so I can oil the inside until it goes together.



6.0 IC,SD spider and hpop resivour to replace the broken one that came on the engine.

Now I really have to start kicking it in gear to get the engine kit money together.UNLESS someone wants to sponsor me lol

So far the SD stuff I have everything but exh collector/up pipes,turbo and have I think 100$ in it all.

Travis.i thought a 38r to be better than a d66....since I'm starting with a sd engine my manifolds are late style.the spider was free rather than overpriced e99.3"plenums for 25$ new.sd pedistal 40$. A set of doorman bellowd up pipes with collector for 200.all i need is the turbo and i don't need an expensive or time consuming kit.it made sence to me that the savings almost paid for the inj. i may be wrong but to me it made sence.and them sd boys upgrade so the stock parts are cheeeep and I'm poor.I'm only wanting a moderate tow rig.i got other stuff to go fast in.375-400 hp range.if more then so be it. next will be trans....
