New EBL for tbi 60 (TBI 350 build)

[brokenparts]

I picked those up a while ago on a local board for a decent price. They have copperhead fab rockrings and have been recentered. Got have wheels when I go one ton.

where did you find the comp cams software?

Here:

CamQuest 6 -FREE Download from COMP Cams

 

[brokenparts]

Sixty, thanks again for all your help throughout this whole thing... You've really helped guide me through all this stuff and gave the confidence to try to figure this stuff out! I hope I'm able to return the favor some day.

 

[brokenparts]

this cam software is crazy. I might not get any more work done today. So far the XE268H looks great.... or I could give up a few ponies and save some money and go with the 268H. The 268h is right at the safe limit for the vortec heads. The torque still looks great too.

 

[sixty]

No problem..... Its fun for me

It's all pretty easy actually & its nice to be able to take advantage of all of the cheap small block performance parts.

Cam choice is a real hard thing to nail down. I like alot of lift with a medium duration for low end, but if you have a doubler then low end is not as important. I think when you get your stuff together you will be surprised how much more driveable the engine is.

This guy used a summit cam on his vortec heads and had good results.

What is your compression going to be with the vortecs (64cc I think?)?

 

[brokenparts]

Unfortunately, its going to out of 87 range. Not the end of the world for me to run Super since I dont drive it much.

I'll know more when I pull the heads and see if the pistons are dished or not. If they are dished I should be in the 9.5ish range from what I've read.

I've been following that thread on thirdgen too. That thing seems to be a monster... the peel out vids he recently took are sweet... but I'm easy to entertain.

@ 9.6:1 I'm running premium right now as it seems to knock less. maybe once my tune is better I'll be able to run 87. When the difference is less than 10% for premium, I don't worry too much.

If I wasn't locked, I could light my tires like that too. It's much more difficult to light 36's with a detroit. I'll have me a cool vid soon

 

[brokenparts]

Cant wait to see the vids of it... I dont have a prayer lighting up my 40's, probably for the best though.

Just ordered this:

COMP Cams SK12-210-2 - COMP Cams High Energy Cam and Lifter Kits - summitracing.com

and

COMP Cams 7812-16 - COMP Cams High Energy Pushrods - summitracing.com

I cant see paying $300+ to go the beehive route at least on this build... I think this is a good medium ground for my motor. I also have to remember that I will be still running toy junk under there for awhile. The comp cam calculator has the motor at 360hp and 410ftlbs. . I can live with that.

I think you'll be happy with that setup, now go start pulling parts

I got to figure out how to put my cherry picker on steroids.

 

[sixty]

I was able to pull my engine with a standard HF picker and leave the front clip in place. I did flat the fron tires though.

It will be much eaisier to do the work with the engine on a stand, I pulled mine in 1 hour flat

 

[brokenparts]

sure... put the pressure on. I have some little tires I guess I could throw on there to get it down. Wanna take any bets on how long my toy junk will survive?

 

[sixty]

I'm guessing you'll snap a rear before the front I bet you could have the engine on a stand by this evening

 

[brokenparts]

motor is out... heads are off.











































Just kidding. I did bolt up the TB adaptor and the tb the intake though.

 

[sixty]

You are so weak..... Quit playing with your parts (pun intended) and pull that engine already!

You'll need to unbolt the tbi anyways to hoist the engine in.

 

[Trollhole]

Awesome thread. Subscribing.

 

[brokenparts]

some more junk showed up...

 

[brokenparts]

So I had some time tonight so decided to start pulling apart my th400 to swap the output shafts. I bought a later model th400 with a round bolt 205. To make everything work for a 203/205 I had to get the right output and adapter. I'll still have to swap the input on the 205 but that'll be another thread. Anyway... I found a good thread on pirate to follow along on and went for it:

removed the pump bolts:

I reached up with the back of my ratchet and ever so gently popped out the pump:

next I pulled the pan:

which exposed the valve body:

and the roller thingamagig:

speedo:

then pulled the valve body... the suggested way was to do them evenly:

this was in one of the valve body tubes:

valve body on the table:

and what's underneath:

lots of little paths and steel balls:

removed the servo:

more pics to come:

 

[brokenparts]

now it got interesting... I tried to pull everything out in chunks.

First was the foward clutch which came out pretty easy:

and out

and then the direct clutch. it was also pretty easy to remove:

I forgot to take a picture of removing the band but basically there is just a little pin to move and then it come straight out...

then the intermediate clutch. Kinda tough to see but there is a snap ring that you have to move past the little stops:

then the biggest pain... the center support snap ring.

but I won:

then I took the planetary out and removed the snap ring and switched the shafts:

planetay with the long shaft

the guy on pirate clamped down to remove the snap ring so I did the same thing:

the two shafts compared:

new shaft installed:

the mess:

I'll probably end up getting a rebuild kit even though this one was suppose to have be rebuilt not too long ago. I'll update when I get the kit and put it back together.
