If it is propane powered it might be worth grabbing the carb and propane equipment off of it.

The engine 'might' have a different cam than automotive, but the block and head should be the same as automotive. the crank and rods may be shot peinned but are otherwise the same.

I have the engine and tranny but have not had time to get them apart. Mine was a 727 transmission with flanged output. Rear end was facing backward and had some kind on gear reduction drive on it. They are Heavy!

These rear axles are too narrow and too heavy for a car. You could build a really narrow 1 ton truck with one though.

did you ever get ur's running? or check the rear ratio, the low gearing may have been in that gear reduction part.

I did not buy it to get it running. I only bought it to part it out and keep the parts I wanted. I'm hoping it has shot peened rods...etc. but won't know till later in the summer. Mine was built in 1980, It had some sort of heavy duty rear that would not have been acceptable for anything on a car. It was drum brakes and I am guessing the shoes were maybe 3 1/2-4" wide and maybe 12" diameter.

I realy lam not sure on this point, but I think the rear end was a split housing bolted together side to side with the rear pointing backwards. The gear reduction was bolted directly to the rear and had a yoke pointing to the front over top of the rear. The transmission was connected to the rear by a short drive line with a slip yoke on it. 727 output was shorter than normal and had a tailshaft mounted brake drum for the emergency brake.

Hope that helps,

Rick

Nope, that's the 225-2 and 225-3 truck engines you're thinking of.

If its freshly done, its fairly easy to tell. Sometimes some of the real fine shot is still trapped between the head of the rod bolts and the beam of the rod, even from the factory. If it has a bazillion hours on it, you are just taking someones word it has been done. Its sorta like a freshly sandblasted finish when it is first done, but after its been exposed to oil grime and sludge for a while its not as obvious to see it.

There's no such thing as too much cam....only not enough engine!

There's really no reason to go hunting high and low for shot-peened crank and rods. If you want shot-peened crank and rods…take your crank and your rods and go get them shot-peened. It's neither slow nor difficult nor costly.
