New toy, couldnt pass it up

Got another toy/project, needs a clutch. Got it for $250 as is. Got a crack in the bellhousing to weld up and put her all back together.The pivot ball broke off sending the clutch fork into the pressure plate resulting in complete carnage! I LOVE CARNAGE! Failure pics to follow.

Looks like a pretty solid rig man!! Good find!

man you got a steal on that truck

You coulda bought mine. MY clutch is fine.

Woohoo! Another 3/4 ton! Whats under the hood? Whats under the hood?

Man, hate to let you down, its only a 350! I guess i could drop my 468 out of my 84 in it??? LOL, but i would rather not have to have a gas tanker follow me around.

But cries when he realizes it is 400 cubic inches of pissed off machine.

Here is the remains of a throwout bearing, clutch fork, and the bell housing. I have a small crack in the bell housing to weld up in the cavity that the slave cylinder goes in. Flywheel has been resurfaced wednesday. The pivot ball for the fork came apart and caused mass destruction.

Dang!!

Its amazing a ball the size of a shooting marble can do that kind of damage.

Wat is that exhaust manifold lookin thing in the background?

Good deal shoot you could even resale it for more.

Man that is some serious carnage man!!

Umm I'm gonna take a shot in the dark and say it's an I don't know maybe an exhaust manifold!! hahah

Thats a manifold off of my 86 suburban, smog stuff. It had tubes out of every port that went to a Black box that was routed on both sides to the air cleaner??? Not sure what its purpose was but it had tubes that ran inside the exhaust ports on the heads?

Aren't those like 1st gen air pumps for smog control introduced on vehicals from california for smog control? Man you gotta love California style vehicals

Come on man, give me a little more credit. I could tell from the pictures it wasnt a diesel. The front bumper has no vent holes and if you look through the grill, the radiator is too small, and there is no intercooler I was hoping it was a 454.

No worries, those are also a good motors. It should serve you well.

Yeah man you won't be dissapointed by the 350!!

^^ agreed!! I think that the 350 and the 383 and the 400 are probably 3 of the most versatile SB they ever made true there is no replacement for displacement but with all the aftermarket support for these motors they can often times with enough time and money out do a BB with the same upgrades... Not to mention the SB's have such a larger RPM range the the BB's they can reach RPM the BB's only dream of!

for most applications, i would take a sb over a bb...... my buddies hopped up 350s would generally waste my old 1985 454\th400 that is until it could get wound up

bb scream if the rear is geared right... i can hold my own against most 350 street cars around here in my 454 c10.. its pushing the 600hp mark but with a 2.73 rear it can be a dog off the line or it just roasts the tires right off the rims.. lol. i cant wait to get a posi in it and really launch it..

And some 3.73 gears.
