My engine project
Just wanted to get a thread going on my engine swap.
What I have is a roller engine build by PeteK. I'll post pics as I make progress. Engine: 388 Roller with Petes chosen Cam Intake- Holley Stealth Ram- its out getting powder coated now Patriot Freedom series Heads- 190cc /64cc RR's- Comps 1.6 Ultra Pro Mags Headers and Exhaust: Hedmen Elites with LT1 2.75 inch Stainless dual exhaust, Boral ZR-1 ss mufflers Drivetrain: Petes 2500 stall with D44 and 3:45 gears All driven with dynamicefi's ECM http://i1086.photobucket.com/albums/...l/DSCF3070.jpg As the car sits everything has been removed except for the actual short block. I'm waiting on the new motor mounts before i actually remove it. Fitting on the heads now to the new block and am doing some porting on it. http://i1086.photobucket.com/albums/...1/DSCF3134.jpg http://i1086.photobucket.com/albums/...1/DSCF3155.jpg As I go through this I'm sure I'll have questions and will be posting a lot more pics. |

I won't do that but I'm gonna take them back and have him do it. http://i1086.photobucket.com/albums/...1/DSCF3176.jpg http://i1086.photobucket.com/albums/...1/DSCF3177.jpg Just playing to see what the headers look like http://i1086.photobucket.com/albums/...1/DSCF3178.jpg http://i1086.photobucket.com/albums/...1/DSCF3179.jpg Loosened up the 3 bolts for the flex plate http://i1086.photobucket.com/albums/...1/DSCF3183.jpg In order to get the flex plate to stay in one play while I loosend the bolts I came up with this redneck idea http://i1086.photobucket.com/albums/...1/DSCF3181.jpg I count seven bolts holding the bellhousing, so those will be the next to get done. First I need to get some support in for the tranny to hold it up. |
Engine crane isn't going to work, its not long enough. I got it months ago for this project. I assumed it would be fine. I've extended the bar out as far as it will go which is at the lowest setting of 1/4 ton. I don't really car for that setting either.
It doesn't set center over the engine and also hits the tire. I may try removing the tire and brakes to see if I can get it in further. Otherwise I'll have to find a crane. http://i1086.photobucket.com/albums/...1/DSCF3187.jpg http://i1086.photobucket.com/albums/...1/DSCF3186.jpg http://i1086.photobucket.com/albums/...1/DSCF3185.jpg http://i1086.photobucket.com/albums/...1/DSCF3184.jpg |

Good luck! I'll be following your engine pull progress. I'll be pulling mine in a couple weeks. Pete K engine builds are always entertaining.
TPI421Vette is building my motor. It's great to have guys like Pete and Jim around to get us through these projects. |

Since they're going back I want him just to clean my stuff up a bit.:cheers: |
SWEET!! According to the video I did it took me 21 min's! I'm trying to upload it now. Hopefully it works
Once i removed the motor mount bolts I slowly raised the tranny then the crane...tranny then crane. Once I was high enough I pulled on the chains a bit and it was loose! http://i1086.photobucket.com/albums/...1/DSCF3195.jpg http://i1086.photobucket.com/albums/...1/DSCF3196.jpg |
