There same hold as lag bolt Put strut on top figured better than screwing to bottom. YEAH !!!! That looks a little "dicey" from here.... The garage I used to have 3"x 8" joists, and I used a 6' long piece of 2 inch "skid" 40 pipe tucked into the cross web notch. That, and I didn't have the luxury of an electric chain fall...... So I made a loop of chain to hang it from. 1 Quote

Scott S. Posted June 7 Posted June 7 Oh yeah, I forgot this is your first time out at this. Most of the stuff I used was just laying around the garage..... P.S. The joists in the garage were only 18" spacing, I just used a long pipe in case something shifted while I wasn't watching. It was a tight fit to get the pipe in, but once it was there, it came in handy a few times. 1 Quote

Scott S. Posted June 8 Posted June 8 Sounds like the starter wheel wasn't fully engaging. Or someone liked to try and start it while it was running. 1 Quote

Whoo hooo found cam specs. Written or scribled like s%ht. But still. Ye haw...advertised duration 308/318...lift 488/510.......built th400..3.73 gears..and i sent yu head specs. But this is just the cam 1 Quote
420ponies Posted June 9 Posted June 9 A 2,800 stall converter will live happy with that cam and gear ratio. It probably has very little vacuum too. Your power disc brakes will need a vacuum pump to operate correctly. Leeds Brakes has what you need. Rumpity,Rumpity goes that cam! Back in the day we built a SBC for a Vega (similar to your set-up).Lunati cam .500" lift ,300deg. duration, Turbo 350,4:10 12 bolt Posi (used complete Don Hardy kit in car). That was blast to drive.
