Rebuild Update Thread for TallOkie

[TallOkie]

Figured I would just start one thread instead of a new one every time I get something new.....lets begin

tear down begins:

further than I have ever been in a motor:

look at all the parts:

now what caused this:

oh yes this probably had something to do with the above:

hard at work:

ready to pull:

missing her bad:

Why'd you pull the heads while it was in the truck?

orginally thought the problem might just be in the valve train...discovered otherwise later...oh well that shortblock will be easy to yank out of there

It looks like there's tons of space with just a short block in there, I may be doing that sometime in the not so distant future. You bagging and tagging a lot of stuff to remember where it goes when it's time to put it back together?

pulling the grills to custom paint the the same as the rims...put a nice clear on them to get some shine:

Looks like a puzzle I could never put together!!!!

I'll be near your neck of the woods next Wednesday for a dyno tune (SW tuning in OKC).

All too familiar sight, lol. Why'd you pull the a/c compressor instead of just laying it in the bay?

I hope you get 'er back together and running soon! Srping is coming.

now what caused this:

Mine did the same thing. I wonder what caused it?

 

[FordFanStan]

I'm going to steal your thread idea soon lol. Nice work, it's always fun doing the work yourself but sometimes it can be a real pain. BTW, I use to have to bag and tag everything, now I'm learning them a little better, but Dante damn he just just throws all the hardware and pieces frome verything in one entire box and when it comes time to put it all back together he can just tell what every single piece or bolt or nut goes to lol...

Nice. If you dont mind me asking, what head/cam combo are you going with?

 

[TallOkie]

JLP or JJ stage three port and valve train with stage 2 cams

 

[Scotts Elle]

Doing any machine work? Those pistons stock bore? Will JLP balance those goodies for you? Great project!

Those pistons are .020 over, I got a machine shop that is going to bore and hone the block, freshen up the crank, deck the block, balance the rotating assembly, and assemble the shortblock for me

 

[TallOkie]

The first rebuild parts to arrive!!!

 

[Kellyo77]

Looks good! ARP head studs, new Ford MLS head gaskets, and you should about have it!
