Thanks, Randy. I'll see what I can find.  Finding info on these old pistons is tough.

I have cut and welded pitman arms in the past. I will drill and pin the center of the arm, V it out and triple pass it. Let it cool naturally.

I know there have been a couple topics in the past about this set up. Does anyone experience and some miles on this EFI set up? I'm building a 406 for my '86 F-150 that I daily drive in the summer. The truck was originally a 351 with a carb. I've been running the truck now with a tired old 352 that I put in last spring. The truck has dual tanks so I would like to use the Edelbrock EFI sump that mounts under the hood and uses your low pressure mechanical pump. Any input is appreciated..

I've been sitting on these for years waiting for the "right" opportunity to use them. I don't have the heart to drill them and I just got another set of not so nice ones I don't mind drilling. $275 plus shipping from 13132.

My shop is a 40' x 40' metal Quonset hut that was on the property when I bought my house. 8 inches of concrete and 200 amp service. the 2 vertical wall ends I have studded with 2"x 6" lumber and insulated with R19. The round portion of the Hut I'm insulating with 1" thick foam board the bends to the contour. Using 5/16" coupler nuts and short bolts with fender washers to hold the insulation in place. HVAC tape over the seams. My shop is heated and has no issues with sweating. I plan on adding onto the building in the future. I will do a concrete pad, 3 courses of 10" block and 2"x 6" walls on top of that. Stud walls are easier to insulate and makes hanging stuff on the walls a lot easier than a metal building. You can cut, grind and weld all you want with OSB walls. I usually hang out for a half hour or so after any hot work before I shut the shop down.

I'll guess in bone stock trim 203hp. With the BT and 650 i'll say 226hp.

I took a '66 352 4 barrel engine that was sitting under a tractor trailer for who knows how long and put it into a '86 F-150. Points, plugs and a 650 holley. Let's just say it wont spin the 235 tires on the long box F-150 with 3.55 gears. She's a slug, Big time! I've always had a soft spot for the 352, I'll be watching this one closely.

When I check for end play I install all the upper bearings, lube, install the crank, torque down the thrust cap with the lower shell in and check end play. Adjust if needed. I will install all other caps and bearings without the seal to make sure the crank spins freely. Then tear it back apart and install the seal.
