So has anyone been working on an old doo recently? Any projects on the go?
I had some time off and finally got to go through some old engines in the shop. Surprising how many parts I had laying around that accumulated over the years. I now have a shelf that is piling up with running and cleaned up engines. Was able to get two 302's, a 247, a 320 and a 70 335 ready. Glad I spent the time on the 335 I found a bad bearing and a bad seal - was acutally in pieces. Luckily able to use a whole set of cases with bearings from a 320 that had a bent PTO shaft. Just pulled the center part of the bearing off the bad shaft and put onto the 335. Good to go.
Now working on two 640's. One is a dual carb with brand new pistons.
After that I am hoping to get a 440 and maybe a 399 together if I can find enough parts
