Found the motor in the Auto Locator after the origional motor was diagnosed as DEAD (blown head gasket , water sitting the cylinders for a couple of years , bored .60 over already , and a bent rod from compressing that water...but she still ran !!!) $300 for the motor , someone built it and never put it in anything.... 4 bolt main , std. bore , KB flat tops , 882 casting heads that were opened up to 2.02/1.6 , bowls cleaned up and exhaust side ported , new Comp Cams valvetrain.. 280H cam , springs, lifters, seals , roller tipped rockers.... I put on the intake and carb I wanted (Edelbrock Performer RPM, Edlebrock carb) , guy gave me the headers , alt., starter , Accel HEI coil , gauges .. everything with the motor !!!!

I agree thanks for adding the details. Always good to know what goes along with the pic's.

thats one goodlookin engine, cant wait to see pictures of it back in the truck, and do let us know how she runs, got a HP rating or a guess on it?

68Stepbed · 04-17-2007, 08:12 AM

Lookin really nice, man! Why don't you go ahead and remove the manual tranny x-member while you're at it?

Not sure if you already know this, but figured that I mention it,

you will have a very hard time installing the motor with the headers on the motor. I would suggest removing them and installing them after the motor is in the truck. Same goes for the Fan and fan spacer you got on there.

From the build ups I read in different mags and online... it all depends on CC size of the heads (which I don't know for sure) the 882 castings were suppose to have 75-76 cc combustion chanbers which should put me @ 9:1 compression which should put the HP in the 350 hp range.. now if they were decked some (don't know) and my compression is closer to 10:1 then It should be up in the 400 hp range....
which would be

You can also remove the yellow wire from the starter harness since you went HEI.

The truck was already converted to HEI when I bought it and the yellow wire runs up to here.... is that not correct ???

Tx Firefighter · 04-17-2007, 01:03 PM

Clip and remove the yellow wire. It's a bypass for the points to get a full 12V during cranking. HEI doesn't use that, it uses 12V all the time.
