The big block is back together!

Had the block hot dipped, magnafluxed and line honed. New cam bearings and freeze plugs as well. Shot a coat of GM Corporate Blue.



Laid the crank with new bearings.



Cleaned up and reused the pistons and connecting rods. New rings and rod bearings.



Reused the cam and timing set.



New oil pump (standard volume and pressure), tack welded the pickup tube.



Cleaned up and reused the oil pan, damper and remote oil cooler adapter. New timing cover and seal.



The heads that were on the motor when I got it were toast. I found a set of truck heads with a fresh rebuild on Craigslist for dirt cheap. I gave them a once over and bolted them down.



I had the intake manifold media blasted and then shot a coat of high temp clear to seal up the porous aluminum. Cleaned up the carb and valve covers.
