Took the pump and the injectors in off the Massey that dad and I have been working on to get them cleaned up. Just got them back today so I will be going over to the farm tomorrow to put them on and hopefully she fires up.

It has a 400 engine in it with a c6 transmission and rear end is a Dana 60 semi floating and the front is the dana 44 TTB axle.

Bolted the transmission back into my 79 yesterday. Didn't have enough time to finish it up, but my dad's going to do the last few things and then test it out.

[QUOTE=Fomoko1]And all is well?

Yes, the pump and the injectors where just gummed up from the old diesel. The pump needed a few new pieces as well as some of the injectors, but otherise nothing major. Just haven't got to the farm yet to put things back together yet. Dad got bored one day and polished up the hood now he has to do the rest of the tractor to make everything look the same.

Im planing on building a 460 for it, i have a set of those closed chamber heads(C9VE) i would like to get them ported. There is a guy that does porting on heads like that and he told me that he had gotten 700 hp out of a 460 with those heads on there. Thats what im planning on but its only going to go as far as the money reaches.

Thanks, I updated my gallery with more pics but I haven't taken any yet so these are ones that the guy I bought it from sent me.

And yes, the ugly foot gas pedal and cracked dash pad are gone.
