Re: Gen1 Chevy 350ci V8 Rebuild
The block came back from the engineering works today. All neatly wrapped in shrink wrap. I cant wait to start the build but there is this training course I am on for the rest of the week, and then there are some serious family commitments this entire weekend, so i wont get anywhere near it until next week...

Re: Gen1 Chevy 350ci V8 Rebuild
Now you guys are talking my "taal"
Im looking at dropping a Rover 3,5 and a big dirty Edelbrock and Holley into my 2,7 Raider. (said motor / edelbrock / holley is wasted in my towing Rangie.... Ive got 4 of these V8 beauties)
I want to keep the Raider gbox and running gear.....I want to get away from the 3rzfe and all its electrickery (got a buyer for R15000.00 lined up also got a spare sub with crank and pistons - ran the left balance shaft) but I need to find out what will happen to the dash (clocks) if I yank out the ECU.......
Not quite a 351 but a step in the general direction.......I know of a supercharged 5,7 corvett motor in a Land Cruiser...will try get pics and contact details

Re: Gen1 Chevy 350ci V8 Rebuild
The 3.5 Rover V8 is actually a Buick motor, and was used in all sorts of British cars, from MG's, Rovers even in TVR's. Performance is not too bad. Not a 350, but at least you got the 3 and the 5 right..Gary Frank wrote:Now you guys are talking my "taal"

There was a guy from the UK on the forum who did a similar conversion, but I think it was in an SFA. Look it up..

Re: Gen1 Chevy 350ci V8 Rebuild
There is a few of those alien conversions around, and it actually works well.
The instrument cluster doesn't run off the ecu, it can be made to work.
The holley is the best performance carb, but will stall on any incline, even with the "offroad kit".

Re: Gen1 Chevy 350ci V8 Rebuild
Thys, liewer laat as nooit. Ek het dieselfde paadjie as jy geloop, maar met 'n El Camino met 'n 350 in. Die masjien het al die regte ysters op gehad, maar dit het gelyk of dit een aand gedoen is nadat die Stormers iets verloor het. ( Of dalk iets gewen het ! ) Maar nou , 18 maande later is alles op hulle plek en dreun die spul weer. Ek het by die Holley gebly - nostalgie. En omdat ek eintlik 'n Ford man is, het ek die blok BLOU geverf. Daar is seker nou 'n paar ouens wat my as heiden sal uitkryt, maar dit lyk nogal nie sleg nie. En ek dink die 350 is kleurblind, hy is so gelukkig soos 'n vark in modder. Ons het ook die enkelpyp roete geloop : op die langeduur gee die dubbelpype maar probleme. Was nog nie naby 'n dyno gewees nie, maar hy trek soos 'n droom. Nou is ek besig met die bakwerk, sal seker nog 'n jaar of wat duur. Maar onthou : tyd het die eienskap om verby te gaan, en soos jy se, die wag maak die hele poging die moeite werd. Voorspoed.

Re: Gen1 Chevy 350ci V8 Rebuild
Jis Kobus, lekker bakkies daai El Caminos.. Ek wag net tot na al hierdie mal vakansie-dae dan gaan ek en Allan aan die werk spring met die V8. Al die parte is gesource en alles is ge-balance, so nou kan ons begin bou. Ek soek nog net die EFI intake manifold. Watch this space..

Re: Gen1 Chevy 350ci V8 Rebuild
Andy, the motor is safe, Allan is ordering the cam-kit and the EFI manifold from the importers today. He's ordering an Extreme 4x4 Torquer cam kit. Produces its torque between 600 - 4200 rpm.
We'll probably start assembling the bottom end of the motor this weekend, if we are both available.
Maybe I should call him Torq-Torqy...

Re: Gen1 Chevy 350ci V8 Rebuild
Ja Thys myne gaan nog 'n tydjie vat. Moet die motor nog eers bietjie deurgaan en so voorts. Ek het 'n "Offroad Carb" gekry in die US en dis oppad, so sal maar sien wanneer ek eendag by my een uitkom.
Eers die Hilux weer aan die loop kry en dan die volgende projek aanpak.

Re: Gen1 Chevy 350ci V8 Rebuild
So this engine build has become a priority now. On Wednesday Kaspaas started misfiring on my way to work, after a nice long weekend of R&R. (I must add it was his first day of doing the daily commute between Pinelands and Brackies, he probably didn't smaak the idea).
After a quick examination by Allan it was determined that there was no compression on Nr6, possibly a burnt exhaust valve. That means this Hilux is out of commission, awaiting the build of the V8. This also means that he did his last 7MGE powered trail (Boegoeberg) 3 weeks ago. and what a trail to end an era on!
In the mean time, I purchased a Stormers-Blue Ford Ranger 2.5 TDI 4x4 D/C as a daily runner, and as a long distance tourer. I was looking for a KZTE, but me being unexpectedly demoted to voetslaan status and my limited available funds put an end to that that whole gedagte. It's a very comfortable ride with all the lekker dinge an SFA does not have. It is a Ford, I know, but it is a clean honest ride. Now I need to equip this for our upcoming holiday in July to Kgalagadi and Koës...
Now before you start with the Ford/Toyota stuffs, remember I have one of each, and at the moment the Ford is the one that is working...
We are still awaiting the parts that we ordered from the States, which should arrive in the next 2 weeks or so. With Kaspaas being out of commission now, we can actually take out the 7MGE motor and build all the mountings etc using the engine-block and gearbox and once that is done, build the motor and just drop it in. Also once the 7MGE is out, we can clean and respray the engine bay.

Re: Gen1 Chevy 350ci V8 Rebuild
Thys,
'N lux box is tog seker sterk genoeg vir 'n V8???
Soos ek verstaan het Wynand 'n lux box in sy wit 350 SFA en 'n Jaguar box in sy rooi 350 SFA.
In watter voertuie het die box wat jy wil gebruik standaard uit gekom?

Re: Gen1 Chevy 350ci V8 Rebuild
Die std Hilux boks gaan nie die V8 se torque kan hanteer nie. Ek weet van baie ouens wat al probeer het, en een het selfs gese "Se net watter gear, en ek strip hom vir jou"....
Die Turbo400 boks kom uit die V8 Chevy's uit, so hy pas by die enjin.

So jy reken ou Ewald Doelloos het 'n kans gevat om met die standaard box te ry???
Behalwe vir die "Cool Factor", is daar 'n rede hoekom jy vir Chevy gaan eerder as Lexus??

Re: Gen1 Chevy 350ci V8 Rebuild
Jinne but you guys are ongeduldig.
It are like this. Even I have budgetary limits and the recession hit hard by us as well. Anyway, I invested some serious money in 4x4 training and a good long holiday, which took priority over this build for reasons of insanity (preventing it).
Kaspaas went under the knife yesterday for the suspected "Burnt Exhaust Valve" on nr 6. As soon as the head came off the problem was re-diagnosed as a blown head gasket. The part between nr5 and nr6 burnt away, putting them both out of commission turning the engine into a 4Y. Kaspaas will run with the 7MGE a little while longer, at least until the recession is over.
He's in the recovery room at the moment and will be discharged tomorrow. Let the fun begin....

That is good news, we missed Kaspaas. Kaspaas is part of this family.
So I guess you will then be part of the team on 9 Oct?

Re: Gen1 Chevy 350ci V8 Rebuild
Ek het hierdie Kaspaas bakkie gisteraand teruggekry van Allan af nadat hy die head gasket vervang het... Al wat ek kan se is "BLACKSAM" dis lekker om hom weer 'n slag so bietjie te hoenner, en daai 6 proppe te hoor kerm... Die ou wat eendag hierdie conversion koop sal nie spyt wees nie..

Re: Gen1 Chevy 350ci V8 Rebuild
never fear... die 6 is baie cool, maar die 8 is beter. Geldsake is op die stadium besig om die pas te dikteer, en ek is redelik geduldig. Die 8 le en wag. Daar is nog een en ander wat ek moet aanskaf om die hele ding op 1 slag klaar te maak, ek gaan dit nie stuk-stuk doen nie, dis alles of niks.
Die Fordjie is reg Tiaan, hy kry niks ekstra by nie. Miskien net 'n Camil suspensie...

I'm sure Thys will do wheel alignment when fitting the Camil suspension......so the Camil Toe-in and Camil Toe-out should be fine!!!

Re: Gen1 Chevy 350ci V8 Rebuild
The extra weight of the Chev V8 tends to cause a bit of Camil-Toe-out!
