damn i just typed all of this and my comp froze before i could send it lol anyways dude you are the man and hey i got a blown 300 ill give ya for free! naa im gonna donate it to my schools auto motive shop so they can play wit it anyways heres the update. good news and bad news. shes on the road again drove her home and i took her up to 4k< pure *****, pure ***** but i had to do it LOL> and it felt good so thats the good news and now onto the bad 20 mi drive to this dudes house and the truck never heated up i popped the hood back at home and the block was cool to the touch so im scratchin my head on that one im thinkin change the thermostat and heres the other one. oil pressure its high at idle but then drops off to almost nothin under driving i was gettin pissed cuz i dont need to blow another one.. so thats where im at im not gonna run it until i get some feed back from you fine boys night all happy holidays

 

On the oil press, did you re-use your original sending unit? Just a thought but the one out of the donor truck might not be compatible. Parts store could look them both up and see if they're the same or not.

Don't ditch the old motor!!!!!!!!! Poke it away somewhere. Eventually you may get the hot roddin' bug. If so It'd be easier to port your old head, modify your old intake for 302 throttle body, etc. etc. etc. Then you could drop all that on a rebuilt short block and swap over in a day. When I looked for an intake the only one I could find was at the boneyard and they wanted 86 dollars for just the upper half.

 

no i just used the one in the "new" motor well its still fun drivin my dads psd around lol but i want the 300 back hurry up i need help

 

oh yea one more thing i forgot to mention i took it out to get gas in it this morning and the clutch feels funny.. its like... the pedal is soft....?????
