The old (383) and the new ('68 440) sitting in the shop.


I was alone so I had to drag the 440 about 10 feet to the chain hoist so I could get the stand off it and get it set on a pallet with blocks under the motor. I left the chain hoist hooked up with just enough tension on it to make me feel safe.


Here is the motor, Hughes converter and blue 727. Address any complaints about the blue trans to Pete Tritak. He did it and who was I to argue?

Did the old converter trick with the wrench. Worked like a charm.


Working by myself I was able to get it all settled in rather easilly.
