no smoke at all which was wierd. i had an over heat issue too, and i kept loosing coolant from boiling out the rad so im assuming the head gasket went. the engine is still cranking over and everything. im gonna do a compression test and a leak down test before i tear it apart.

Lol

i burnt out the bridge between 5 and 7. from whet ive heard this is normal on a 400. so im just going to weld it and see if it will run lol.

[Jthomas]

Yea that's exactly why I don't like a 400sb. They have the symese  cylinders and it creates hotspots.
Ur better off making a 350 block a 400 with the right bore and stroke combo.

so the four hundred didny make it thru the weekend so i picked up a 454 today. its not all prettied but if it gets me thru the rest of the year ill be happy

[BC775]

Well the big block i picked up was junk. so dad and i took the engine out of his 79' monte carlo so i can run the rest of the year. i got most of my little bugs figured out for this weekends fun and i also got it vinyled with my shop and my buddys tree service logos. and i nice logo for my name.

a Chevelle SS he says. it was a car block not a truck and it ran good just knocked like a biatch.

How much did u pick it up for

[BC775]

How much did u pick it up for

he wanted 1800 (way too much it seems to me), so i told him i wanna hear it run before i give you any coin and he said that was fine. brought it back put it in the truck bought a water pump, headers, and some other stuff to get it going had 250.00 in it before starting it. just to find it was junk and he wont budge on the price so its going back to his old home.

[BAD APPLE]

Yeah that's way to much

[Jthomas]

[BC775]
