Wow! Hey Ben, long time no chat!

Hope all is good with you and yours.

 

that sucks about the whole dead 408, but a 427 in its place will be leathal!

 

 

One of these things is not like the other.

 

If only that were true. My "new" Rochester grass does this wet, dry, dead, alive, and covered with 3 feet of snow

Plus in that pic, the wife had mowed the grass since I was out of town and put it away wet.

 

I FOUND WHERE THE METAL CAME FROM...

One of the cam bearings is chewed up. Yechy. Of course, I only saw it after I fully disassembled the bottom end... No big deal though, the bearings should be swapped anyway.

Pics later -- gotta go to a car show with my 5 year old before he explodes.

 

Holy bajeezus man are you freaking done yet????

 

Turbo specs found!! See: https://www.performancetrucks.net/fo...=420677&page=4

Good news that. I'm not even going to step up the exhaust housing for now. If it's a problem I'll source new housings this winter and coat them then.

Now, back to your regularly schedule programs.

 

At least it is a John Deere... Looks like a LA series to me.. maybe a LA110, or 120?

So are you going to reuse any of these parts?

 

YAY!!!
