Spent Saturday doing prep work. Checked all the head bolts, connecting rod bolts, etc for correct torque specs. The oil pan, timing cover (new seal), balancer, new oil pump and shaft and the intake went on. Also drank a few beers.
Then took the Misses out to dinner.
Interesting set up on that thing that goes round and round and works the fuel pump lever. The new engine had two of them things. One as on the original engine and one that also "spins" to take some of the pressure off the fuel pump rod.

Got through the day with only one minor problem. The new water pump has some variations from the former unit (you know how that goes) and the water pump pulley was barely touching the crank pulley...............no problem as the grinder took care of the interference.
The multitude of beer prevented me from getting started on the installation of engine..............still a one man project!

Historic, why did you choose to paint your block and other parts black?? any particular reason or did it come that way? Anyone else have reasons for the color they chose to paint their engines? or is it just a preference? Thanks. I just assembled my neighbors new cherry picker and am getting anxious to start pulling the engine out, this thread has been and will be of much help!
ok guys im back...
we've started pulling the engine. disconnected all the electrical, lines and whatnot, and heres the quesitnos that seems to be floating around above. should the t/c be removed with engine? many people says yes and many say no. whats the deal?
edit: one more Q... does the tranny fluid need to be drained if it is not being removed? can you raise the tranmission up a little bit and slide the engine out?

I would remove the TC from the motor. If you don't.... what a mess!
If the TC is staying in the car w/ the tranny, you do not need to drain the tranny. If you are pullin the tranny out with the motor, drain what you can or put in a slip yoke in the tail shaft to prevent all the fuild from coming out that end when the two are being removed.

Go underneath and look at tranny from under the engine. You will see an inspection plate that is about 7" wide x 4" high. It is held in place by two bolts. Remove these and it will expose the fly wheel. From there, you can see the nuts that hold the TC to the fly wheel but you can only see one nut at a time. They are spaced about every 90* around the flywheel. To access all the nuts (4), you need to turn the motor by either the harmonic balancer using a large socket of at the fly wheel by turning the flywheel (Balancer is easier but you have to get from under the car each time). Turn the motor so you can access each nut one at a time and remove them. Once all four are off, You can side the motor from the tranny (assuming the motor is no longer attached at the motor mounts).
Make sure the tranny tube is not secured to the enginge block unsually at the head. You'll break your tube and another mess will occur.

Well, crap has hit the fan with the new motor. It is a 68 302 engine which uses a 28 oz. balancer/flywheel set up. I believe the engine that came out of the car must have a 50 oz set up. Getting a vibration!
Does anyone have a chart that can confirm the E1TE B4A balancer is infact a 50 oz.?

I ripped this off another site, via google:
"E1TE is the beginning of a part number for a 81 truck, so it probally is the 50 oz balancer.... 81 and up 302 had these, 302 before 81 had the 28 oz..."
I personnally can not vouch for the info, but, as you know, both the flywheel and the balancer must match weights.
