its defiantly in the pits lol still waiting on my motor to come back from the machine shop, next Sunday i'm pulling motor and trans then Monday i'm working out getting my headlight buckets to work with the ss nose

patching up a rust hole

its ugly and full of slag that i couldn't clear off with my grinder but it works i figure rubberized undercoating would help fill in any little holes i couldn't fill in

it took me about a year to gather it all together and im still working out the high stall tq and getting the rear end

how much horsepower and torque are you expecting at the wheels? What rear end are you going with?

originally i wanted to be putting out 750 but after a chat with the machine shop he said on motor i should be putting down 500-550 and when i do spray it i shouldn't push it for more than 100 shot for it to be a reliable motor. didn't ask about torque expectations lol

im thinking about going over to the local u pull it and grabbing a 5 lug 8.8 out of a fox body and having a family member that used to weld for scorpion come by and weld up the axle tubes and spring perches. and snagging the moser axles or just buying some matching rims in a stang pattern

a few days later i got another pic of the cylinders bored

and after a month i'm still waiting on my block its not that big of a job but at least it isn't being rushed lol

tore the 305 out today and discovered i have an afco aluminum radiator in it

but i also discovered that they welded the motor mount brackets onto the car for w-e reason and moved it up about 1/4 inch forward

and i have also found out i have a th350 stamped 10 t looking up information on if its any diffrent from my other th350 you can see both in the afco pic. i did notice the 10 t tail shaft is about 3 inches longer than my other trans.

 

[soloone87]

anyone have any info on why the case is stamped 10t?

just a built not bought photo

theres a reason to drain all fluids before you pull a motor and trans lol.

bad motor has to sit in the corner
