so i start messing around with installing push rods. i put a couple in and rotate the motor to be sure it looks good.
hhhmmmm, what the hell the exhaust valve is hung open a bit. check it out, move the pr's to the next hole, set it up rotate, same thing. start bashing my head against the wall, i just didnt get it. call my buddy over he looks at it, we go to another hole, same thing. take it apart start really looking at ****.
in my box of 16 push rods that are suposed to be 7.350 there are 3 push rods that are 7.450 unreal!!! i messured the 7.400's and they would work for me to atleast fire the car up. cranked the car till i saw oil pressure, tossed the plugs in, hit the key and boom, fired right up.
sounded good. open headers tho so i got to run it for about 4 min till the lady next door had a bird.
put it up changed the oil and went to put the new tranny in and ****. the bell housing hits a couple of the rear bolts. oh well. gonna have to grind it out a tad in a couple spots.
getting close tho, ordering a new yoke today, i think my old drive shaft should work
