That's year one also if I'm thinking correctly. Looks newrly thr same as my dad's he had when i was little.She's a #'s matching survivor so NEVER. I have one Badass 355 that'll turn 8k and has a 150 shot on it, a Muncie 4 speed AND....a 4:11 posi for it but I can't tear it apart. It's worth WAY too much in its original state and is still fun to drive.
I have DSMs for goin FAST but thanks so much for the compliment. It was a yr long restore but the motor, trans and dif have never been apart, only serviced.
They still work great as if from 1967, when I was a youngster. Lol
Straight up buffet of engine goodnessSo, I needed to update the John Deere green BIG SBC build, as my DSM is waiting on the trans shop for an opening for testing.
First thing to notice is.....NO MORE JOHN DEERE GREEN, YAY!!!!
I got 2 slugs installed last night after checking ring gap, have yet to check bearing clearance as it was getting late, but the motor ran when I got it so I will check all of the clearances when I have all of the pistons in.
I also did the first spin of the crank, which you can see HERE and drilled my own steam holes in those nice, new, pretty heads myself for use on the 6.6L (400 CID). Only those engines have the steam holes as the cylinders are siamezed and not enough room between them for an actual water passage. You can see me nervously doing that job HERE. All turned out great so far!
Thanks for following along!
