I am now starting to tear into the 710 wagon.  I am going to go ahead and do a rebuild on the L18 and at least rering and replace the bearings.  Hope I don't have to replace pistons or do a rebore.  While everythings out I will try to convert to a five speed if I ever find one.  This will take a long time since I am basically doing this with no funds whatsoever.  I have some stuff to at least get the engine back together once I get bearings and rings bought.  I am thinking of putting the dual Weber 40 DCOE carbs on to but want to get a better cam before I do that.  I do have a A87 peanut head I got from TDAAJ that I am going to use.  Might have to match port the head to the intake since I think its got 1.5" ports, I'll worry about that later.  I also will have to repair some rust on the left frame rail where the exaust runs by it coming off the manifold. Its the only rust on the whole car.  I am going to cut it out and have a piece of metal welded back in while the engine is out.

I'll be craeful, I have rebuilt a few Toyota and Chevy engines and had a 302 Ford apart before to.  Seems like this car will be easy as far as bolts go, none are rusted or seized so far, unlike cars from Iowa, lol.  I can take pictures but can't post them here due to ignorance on how its done, lol.

ok gonna try to post some pictures of his car now. ok well i guess they arte too big, i'll edit some more and post tomarrow night.

 

lets try this,

I have a bunch but they are too big to post, TDAAJ has a few I sent him.  At least he can resize them and post them here, thanks again TDAAJ.
