That would be cool. Thanks for the link BDR, I forgot I had seen that. That is just too rich for my blood at the moment. Then I would need to re-gear plus shorter. I just don't have the funds.

Better jump on it!

Does anyone have an engine taken apart currently? Is anyone planning on rebuilding said engine? I'd be interested in learning more about specific pros and cons of each individual part. Can bring plenty of
HP
pros are you need them for the engine to run.
cons the engine doesn't run without certain parts.
IE. if you leave out the camshaft to save weight you have only built a lighter anchor

Karl's ford bellhousing post got me to thinking. Same bellhousing when swapping from chevy small block to big block? I know this, but for the life of me can't remember.

SHUT UP AND WHEEL
And diesels! Yes, 55 and up all chevy V8s and I6's have the same bellhousing. I think the 409's are different but they arent common enough to worry about.

No, I was talking more about learning what they mean by x amount of lift vs y amount of lift. What does a 330 degree rotation vs a 268 degree rotation mean? (Amount of time the valves are open???)
Just always had a lot of engine questions and was wondering if anyone had an engine taken apart
I have several engines taking apart, but that wont help you. Go read something.

I just watched a spider dominate a fly on the wall outside, i thought would would travis do? and i did the opposite, spider lives!
I've been reading... do you think I just innately know all of this crap? A very wise person once told me the best way to learn how to do something is to just do it.
I've done my homework... wanting to get some hands on experience.

Simplest way to do this is to read.

Holding something like a cam in your hands will not help you learn the science behind how and why it works. Since you are really starting at square one I would recomend taking Dr. Chester Darcy's small engine class, AGSM 201. It is really thorough and he has all kinds of cutaways and parts to hold in your hand along the way and plus, you have to rebuild a lawnmower engine to pass the class so you really get a chance to get your hands dirty. Cook is a TA for him this semester and you dont have to be an AGSM student to take it. You can probably use it as a tech elective but one way or the other its an easy A and is a prety cool class overall.

HP, I understand what you are looking for. You have a basic 'book learned' understanding of the workings in a combustion engine and you want to expand on that by being able to see how the parts truly interact with each other. While I agree it's good to have a solid knowledge base of what you are working on, until you get your hands dirty you will truly never understand.
How many of you that are telling him to go read more have ever laughed at somebody for being 'book smart' and not truly knowing how something works first hand?
