Found some notes on fitment for anyone contemplating a similar swap at this link: Radiator: The 302 engine "is" 1 ? to two inches longer than...
Congratulations on the big milestone, and THANKS!! for posting the video and letting us ride along. :)
Took yesterday off work to pick up a 270. This one is out of a '48 (1.5 Ton?) Fire Truck from a small town in SE Tennessee, with, I think, about...

Thanks Nate. Will see where I land on overbore and what ring sizes are available.
HA! Touche'.. :) I talked with the folks at Total Seal. For the 3/32 top and middle grooves on a 261 piston, they can do gapless top...
Talked with Patrick's today. The rings they carry are from Egge, but are cast (not chrome). Also not finding a source for the gapless rings...
Other than being a waste of time, any reason this wouldn't work? :D Not planning to wind it to 6,000rpm, just want something a little...

Looks like the Cadillac 368 is so reviled that nobody is making pistons for it anymore. I've found a couple of pairs, and a set of four, but...

Another step along the way. Question on cab removal - how does the steering column disassemble; or is the cab lifted off of the column after...
For those who prefer AC Delco over Fram, the cross reference to FV184 is CV774C (fits a '75 Blazer with a 350 and 4bbl). This seems to be a...
Yeah, this forum really needs a "like" button. Keep the progress pics coming - very helpful for those of us following behind you. :)
You definitely don't want to run it with no oil pressure. This video shows what is (I hope) a healthy 235, for comparison. Of course, there's a...
This is the way all the Jimmies came from the factory, right?
Thanks for posting this. I hadn't considered the upgrade, but Google tells me that not only will it help keep oil off my driveway and the bottom...
You say it ran and charged - is the battery 6V or 12V? Part number on the headlamps or taillights?
Milestone! Resurrecting an old engine always feels good. LINK==> Got the 235 started today for the first time since 2003. Started with...
