Re: engine build
It's a short block. Measured the deck height and ordered new Panchito heads from CB.
The CB H-Beam are awesome. I really like them.. very high quality.
All new hardware and its a pleasure to have new chromoly head studs.... fresh clean threads.

Re: engine build
Perhaps you should be looking into building a type four engine since so many people seem to be having issues.
Still Monkeying Around. Not afraid to tell you how I really feel.

Flywheel and pressure plate is on. Endplay is .003" and torqued to 325ft-lbs.
Forgot to show the 1.5qt deep sump.
I ordered the heads yesterday. CB Panchito 044 40x35 with dual springs. CR will be 8.5:1.
Now I have to wait for the heads to arrive.

Re: engine build
76 can be tricky with rod length and pin height. A 94x69 is a pretty proven combo and using A pistons and 5.4" rods.elrockk wrote:looking bad ass. Glenn is there a reason why you didnt go with a 76 crank
I ran into enough issues with only .012" endplay with NO shims. i had to have the nose of the flywheel trimmed .020". Then the rocker arms are not in the correct location over the valve stems. I had to have the rocker arm pedestals machined so I could shim them to get the geometry correct.
Gotta over aftermarket parts.

Re: engine build
The anodized pulleys actually dont look that bad. Generally the color is way off........
Can we talk about the lower cyl head tin on the 1/2 side? Going with a ' match the cap/ rotor color ' are we? haha
Nice looking motor... great work
