A buddy of mine wants me to sell his 400 { No M } engine. It's almost all disassembled , the lifters & pistons are still in it and I think it has all the bolts (in plastic labeled pags). Includes block , heads , crank , 2 carbs and a Pinto(?) carb & intake (?) , 2 intakes (both 400's) & oil pain. Most of all of the parts have surface rust on them. I didn't see a start or alt. No belts or hoses. Don't know if it's been bored , worked on , or if anything is bad .. sooo ,
I told him I'd try and get $150 from it , but that's be dropping it off anywhere in Polk , Dallas and Guthrie Counties.
First chance to Iowa Chapters members who joined before yesterday ,before I post it anyplace else.

If everyone has stuff to get rid of , we could have our own swap meet with discounts to chapter members!

Speaking of swap meets, you just reminded me of the one at Hawkeye Downs coming up 3rd weekend of October, would be a good get together -meeting to me. I used to go all the time, until I moved to South Dakota, was there last spring, just didn't take anything.

This is a great. Hopefully there will be a lot of swapping and ppl helping each other out.

Clock
Good tires for wood hauler.

I prefer trading or will sell my items reasonible. E-mail with questions. Thanks.

I will have available soon a 460 and 5 speed ZF trans, all hardware for it to be intalled in your truck. Be warned, though, the trans was never machined for speedo drive, so that would need to be done or a different housing used. The 460 runs pretty good, has 227,000 miles on it, and smokes whe you relly rev on it, and my mom complained it smelled of burning oil when she tailed me home with it. Basically, it is a rebuilder motor, currently injected, coming out of a 92 F350. I haven't been able to find out how far I can go and retain my speedo on the truck, as it will be a Cummins diesel unit after I get done with it. If interested, email me or pm, whichever you choose.

Is that your rig? That looks goooood!!!

I want his headers !

Yep!!
 

The whole restoration process is documented (so far anyway) HERE I have more pictures to post, but it does show what I started with and how it ended up looking like this.

OH!! And while pulling the Lariat seat out to get it restored, I turned it over and found the original '79 build sheet in the coils! I'll get that scanned and on the website this weekend.

Way cool.

John

Nice documentation, good to see it coming along nicely. I'm jealous of your shop though, I got spoiled with having an enclosed shop area, now I have an open farm shop with some serious issues... but it's better than nothing.

Anyone got any 8 bolt rims that will fit my 76 F250 that aren't 16.5" Want to be able to fit 35x12.50 on them

Contrary to your other post, 8 bolt 15's do exist, used to have a set, but never mounted them. To go that wide you will need at least a 10" rim. I'm short 2 rims myself to make a set to replace my 16.5's. I can see what a friend of mine has, but they won't be wide enough for the 35's, more like stock.
