If i could get 1250- 1500 out of it id just sell it and put it into a diffent project.

Im just going thru my options. Im thinking about selling as a roller on here to give some one on the G body site a chance to get the 8.5 and quick ratio steering box and biger swaybars and so on.

Yeah it has the 8.5 with 373 gears

Theres no way id scrap it. I could sell the 8.5 rear for what the whole car would scrap for. Im just looking at my options. Im debating on putting another motor in it and keeping it or sell it as a roller. Its crazy looking underneith it is completly rust free from the front to the back till u...

Im courious about what my 86 442 is worth. No eng or trans. Body is pretty 95% rust free but rear frame rails need repaired. Interior is in ok shape but missing the headliner. It has 150,000 miles according to the title. Just looking for a ball park idea thanks.

Just pulled it apart. Rod and main bearings are destroid. Crank is screwed to. I found out why i lost oil pressure though there is a small plug in the pump housing and it blew out and was in my oil pan.

Update.... so after about a week with the new motor it devloped a clatter not quite a knock. So i pulled the dipstick out and it was missing 3-4 in of the dip stick!!! So i drained the oil and it was nothing but metal in the oil. So ive re pulled the motor and going to pull it apart tonight to...

Welcome from another fellow ohio g body owner 8)

I was driving mine every day but im in the middle of pulling my motor out due to oil pump probs. Should be back on the street in a week or two.

How's the rests of the car?

Looks good that body looks like its in great shape.

Man that sucks im sorry to hear that. I watched the video. Is that all it will do now ?just spin a little bit and stop.

Thats what i put in and it ran like crap. Idle and wot is good just part throtle

If i have 12 psi of vaccum at idle what power valve should i run.

Yeah it was up and down play. I still have some bugs in it but it runs pretty good. With no stall converter its a dog under 2500 haha but after that its not too bad. Wasnt as impresed as i thought id be but its on the road agian :)

Update i found the problem. It was a junk distributor. I i started checking it and it had way too much playso i pulled it out found one laying around the shop stuck her in and wa-laa fixed. I still need a power valve from mutiple back fires. But its weird my last motor ran great with the same...

thats pretty much what ive aslo narrowed it down too. im gonna check the timing too see if it is comming in too fast and aslo gonna check my cam to crank timing. thank you everyone for the help and ill update tomorow on how things go.

Yeah i think ill just start over and give it another shot. Its just frustrating after putting a motor together and it just wont run right. Makes me second guess ever nut and bolt. Ive put other sbc motors together but ive never had problems like this.

Yeah i might of put the dist in when it was dot to dot. Will it will it run 180° out

Yeah i put the cam marks dot to dot. If it was off a tooth would it still show that it is in time or would that matter? Because it shows its in time... but that being said it will not idle at 2° advanced or anymore retarted than that. It will only way it will idle is around 8°-12°deg advanced.
