I'd just be curious about the bearings. When I worked in the automotive industry I seen this all of the time. It's crazy to think the cheapest insurance you can do on a vehicle is the oil change, and people still neglect to do it.

Throw a 5.3 with a small cam in it and drive it
That's what I'm doing with mine for the 7.5 index class.

It is already set up as a sbc car, i dont have to change a thing, so its staying a sbc car until i get a motor built for my z06, then it will become a ls car

Well, adapter plates are 50$, otherwise it's headers that would be the thing to figure out.

I'm ready to try this index thing, never done it before but it will be fun.

pressure washed the motor and got the lifters and cam out. the motor looks great, and its a 4 bolt main too. Just gotta do a final clean up and start the assembly and freshen up the heads.

I got the heads mostly cleaned up today, hopefully Ill have the full assembled motor this weekend, and hopefully I get the TH350 back too so I can drop it in.

Swap axles, you wanting to do a whole rear swap or just gears? I can easily package these gears up and have them shipped out. I've been busy stabbing my motor I'm my car, slowly coming together.

Well Im at a stand still. The glorious previous owner decided to rev it to the moon and floated the valves. how do I know you ask. well 11 pushrods are bent, 1 of those had one of the ball ends hammered off and 11 retaining clips to hold the plunger in the hydraulic lifters are MIA. So in short I need pushrods, Im gunna get those tomorrow and finish up the valve train.

From this ......


Lots of brake cleaner and gasoline and a big ole mess to get it to this ......
