    That's one nice looking unit! I guess this works too, instead of messing around with the original engine. Good to keep the old one for spares. But do make some basic checks on this rebuilt engine before you fire it up, better to be safe than sorry!

    I own a 37 Buick and I've been there. Your car is definitely not firing on all 8 cylinders yet. Have a look at the pushrods solution I suggested. Also just throwing this out there, valve lash needs to be 0.15" HOT. You can start setting them to 0.15" when still cold, fire it up, let it warm up for 15 min then check the lash again. I look forward to seeing your progress!

    Struggling with an install of one of these bp engine swaps in a 67. What transmission do you have? 904 727? Did you have a change flexplates or torque converter? I understand 273 is internally balanced and 360 magnum these are based on is externally balanced.

    • @AlvarosGarage
      @AlvarosGarage Рік тому

      904 transmission, but you'd need a 68+ trans (or input shaft) and externally balanced torque converter.

    • @AlvarosGarage
      @AlvarosGarage 2 роки тому

      Hi Jamison, that is a surge tank for the fuel system. I have a low pressure mechanical fuel pump feeding the smaller surge tank from the main tank. The surge tank then has a high pressure fuel pump for the FiTech fuel injection system. This works out well for rock crawling to avoid fuel starvation on a low tank of fuel during steep angles.

    Nice car. My first car was a '69 Barracuda 340 4sp. That was back in 1981 and I've regretted selling it ever since. I had a '68 Barracuda with a transplanted 360 auto in 1999 but ended up selling it because we were moving for a job. I've regretted that too. Now I have a pretty rusty but very complete '69 Dart GT 318 auto. With prices on old Mopars these days, that's the best I could come up with. I'd love to do something like what you did with yours, nothing better than cruising around in a nice old Mopar.
