My engine shop called me to say that everything is installed and ready to go. I'll be on hopefully tomorrow with what I paid and where and what material they removed plus specs. I think did a little more removal than recommended here and there.

Check back soon.

Didn't get a chance to pick up the engine last week. But i went down today and paid for the rest of it. When my dad picks the engine up in the next 3 days he'll have all of the specs for me.

i suppous this isnt so bad, better safe then sorry.

Anyone do this to a 3500 yet?

i just read the post on 60s big block v6s i wonder what the timing chain is like on those?

[bob442]

they most likely wont work, if they were even close to working, new gears would need to be made, see, what i found out is that the DRTC sets are put together by 2 companys, one is CNCguy (cant remember his company name) he makes the new gear sets, and the chain is already made by another company, Ben is using the exact chain from a 3400RWD block double roller timing set, the difference is the cam mounting, and i think the crank gear too.

TCE. He also makes the EGR block off plates, aftermarket TBs, AFPRs and a few other items for us and the MGB crowd (check the two links in his sig). Come to the next meet and pick his brain, he's a good guy.

bump kinda...

if we were to do a "pre-buy" and have say 10 people put money down on double rollers could we get some made up?

Thanks-

Eric.

it comes down to CNCguy having time and a chance to run the mill to produce them. its a good likely hood, but, you would have to ask him personally.
