When you reply, below the text box you are typing in is a "switch to full reply screen" box. Click on that.
In the full reply screen, below the text box is "file manager" click on that.
Now hit the "browse" box. It should take you to your pics.
Select the pic, then click "add file"

A couple of "tutorials".

Max image size is 2Mb. Most pics on my computer are bigger than that so I have to open in MS Office Picture Manager and then use Edit to compress and save as before I can upload them.

THANKS GUYS!!!
I will check it out tonight at home. Does each pic, or group of pics have to be in a separate "file"?
With Ebay or Craigslist, I can just grab each pic and attach it. What TRENDZ is saying sounds like the Ebay/Craigs set-up??
Thanks again everyone!! I will get it one way or another...

If Tom could turn that File Manager hyperlink into a big ADD PICS button, I think most guys could figure out the rest.

My guess is that its R-3 9 inch deck block with W-8 heads.

I also probably has the 2.25 inch SBF main bearings. Good chance the rods are 1.88 but definitely smaller than stock. Probably has some really good rods in it.

If you car has a stock steering box the dry sump will probably have to go.

Good chance you will want to change the cam also.

You will have to have the headers made or at least modify production headers.

Good chance it has a Chevy rear flange on the crank. That will be a big issue with an automatic, not so much with a manual.

If it was mine I would sure give it a try.

Good luck and keep us posted.

Bill

That is an exact twin to my motor when I got it. Be interesting to see the number stamped into it, I'm betting its close to mine.
Agree with the above,
Ford main
9" deck
6" rod
1.88 to 2.0 rod journal
Chev rear crank flange
That's just my guess, could be anything.....
Full of good stuff if you are willing to put effort into making it work and fit your application, make headers, I converted the rear flange to mopar specs besides the bolt pattern on mine, just all takes thought and work, etc,etc

If you've got room for the dry sump system, it's not going to be an issue. Going to a traditional wet sump system will require a complete tear down and drilling the block and main cap. Otherwise a new oil pan and single stage external pump will be much easier.

It will have a lot of good parts in it, from memory those engines were 9:1, the camshaft isn't too crazy, but featured a bit of duration @0.050" (typically around 270-280 @0.050" on a 108 lobe centre). Chances are it will have Jesel dogbone or tie bar lifters. If you're running an auto trans, it will want a decent converter (5K plus i'd imagine)

Best of luck with it

Thank you guys for all the info....I think it would be a kick ass set up. But I will continue to research it to make sure I can do it right..

will be an interesting build to see how it goes to grocery getter mode smile I too have pretty much the same bullet sitting on an engine stand.
