I dont know, I kinda (ok REALLY) want the 440. Sweet truck by the way.

 

[Snake Farm]

Wow, the patina on that thing is awesome! Glad you got the Hemi.........the brute power of the 440 would be cool but not as cool as a Hemi

 

[SKULLY08]

I was tore for a min.. The 440 runs and only needs a carb rebuild.. The hemi was found in a barn.. It turns over but needs a rebuild.. The hemi is freeeekin kool.. The hemi wins..

 

[SKULLY08]

Hemi teardown has begun..

[Mr.Gussett]

Three steps !

OK first thing to do is put all parts in a box and second thing is load box in your truck and third thing is drive to my house and give me that Hemi ![dr

Skully, You'll need a puller to remove that. There are several types but something similar to the type pictured below are usually the cheapest. If the puller you obtain does not have a center bolt with the same thread size as the hole in your crank snout, thread your original crank bolt back into the crank and use the head of the bolt as the pressure point for your puller. There is an actual propper crank balancer removal installation tool, but the example shown will get it apart.

Mr. G i did get lucky with finding the 57 and the hemi.. it all fell together.. my father in law has a hot rod shop in okc,ok. RENO ROD AND CUSTOM.. But soo far i have found my stuff myself.. He has a 6-71 blower that i hope i can make a sweet deal on.. fingers crossed.. Hope to hide the blower under the hood..

Stuck pistons

Use lots of marvel mistery oil down the bores top and bottom of the pistons, let em set a while then use a rubber hammer- be gentle- hemi pistons arent cheap, u might be able to reuse, but if ur planning on puttin some shiny gold coins in er just use a big hammer

 

[SKULLY08]

STUDEBAKER, thanks for the tip!! I am tryin to make a deal on a 6-71 supercharger, soo i might need new pistons anyway.. crossin fingers wishin its a good deal..

 

[SKULLY08]

finally got the stuck pistons out!! now to find a good machine shop in the OKC area..
