Well the cam and lifters were brand new and the motor was rebuilt by Rogers Precision Machine down in Corpus. They are a very reputable company and I've never heard any complaints against them. That alternator was brand new when we put it on about 7 or 8 years ago, then I blew the motor and all its accesories went in the bed of the truck when I took the blown motor out 3 years ago. This is where you enter picture and buy rebuilt motor with all the accesories.
thats right rogers... ya those guys are freaking bad ass.
thats the only thing i used that you gave me robert is what they did and the dist. which you can tell in the pic isnt in the best of shape... replaced vacuum advance cap and rotor.
alternator was bad.. heads had 5 cracks in them each, and didnt use any of the accesories

done deal, I think you will like the one we found coop, it looks brand new...
ok wasnt the distr.
firing order is right
wtf?
alright, new NVG or whatever they are called plugs, MSC wires, new dist. times it 10 differnt ways... and the way i had it was exactly right... ****ed with fuel, ive already run the valves. still same shake right at 2k.
everyone keeps saying ****ed up cam or bad rods.
but this has done this since day one... and motor runs way to good to bed ****ed up... i mean i can rev the thing up to 5k if i wanted to and it couldnt be smoother.
i think its the torque converter. balance issue.
it has the shake right at 2k when speeding up... so ijust speed up faster and it doesnt shake :flipoff2:
but i did notice a trans leak coming from behind the dust cover. and when you are like driving down the road and hit the brakes to come to a stop the truck has a shake to it and to me it feels like the trans shaking its self down.
to test this i was going about 50 down texas and put it into neutral and then stepped on the brakes.... no shake.
so i guess this weekend im gonna pull the trans back and fire it up to test it out.
next step... should i put in a 4 speed, a manual or just get a good torque converter?
what is a good torque converter?
and stupid question.. but whats the easiest way to check if its a lock out style trans or not? i dont see a bunch of electrons hanging off but there are some things on it that are not being used.
i know useing the wrong TC would cause some ****.
be careful running it without a tranny on there. How are you going to hold up the ass of the motor?

Did you use the flexplate that I gave you with it? I know different motas have internal or external ballancing and say if I gave you the flexplate off a 6.2 by accident, or even a different gas mota, this might cause problems. I have a torque converter for th400 you can have, according to mario it will fit the th350. It came out of pigpen originally so it should work. I dont know about swapping in a manual, for starters they are fawking heavy. An SM465 weighs at least 200 pounds by itself and they are a bit "deeper" (tall) than a automatic. Too bad I just sold my hydraulic clutch setup for one. You will also need a whole new transfer case. Would flattened lobes on the cam be easy to spot if you took it out to inspect it? I know it'd be alot of work but there's no sense in spending money replacing tranny parts if thats what it might be.
honestly though, a 700r4 or 4l60e will have a plug on top of the case above the pan on the drivers side.
