another dumb question here . Can I utilize "any" parts of my 440 engine and utilize them on a 318 ? specific parts such as the carb ? starter ? tranny ? I might have a line on a used 318

ok I know theres alot of pauls , the one I'm looking for has the james bond girl pic . Paul I remember clicking on a pic you had of your engine it was a chevy I believe can you tell me what size/year and what the install entailed as far as different shaft?prop? thanks

yeah thats was him , sorry I searched the hell out of it after I posted here to get the link but kept getting nothing , I dont know how I happened on the site but yes thats him , did you get them ?

if I wait . which is most likely will I have to change the prop , shaft if I drop a 350 chevy in it ?

after speaking to Bob he explained that a 440 in the f26 wasnt a good idea due to the weight ofthe rngine coupled with the rpm damaging the 1" shaft I have no clue how the boat performed with this 440 in itbut was getting the feeling it wasnt the brightest idea according to bob

yeah after sleeping on it and getting nothing but bad news yesterday I think common sense has kicked in here. I cant utilize the parts outside the 440 block on a 318 so the existing engine and parts idea are now scrapped. Bob says he has the tranny that I would need should I lean towards a 350 chevy...

thanks prowler, it is in fact a 440. I called bob "bless his heart" he walked me through the ryme and reason behind such a thing. from what I gathered they were never built with a 440 and for some reason the po put one in so as I was just about to cut a check to have the rebuild started I ...

ok My auto guy that has had my motor for a year has finally got it in the shop and started I went there this am and he explained the block is junk its been cracked due to water freeze. I dont know alot about engines but what he was saying is that someone had rebuilt the engine before as the piston h...

jeff I just saw a set of those on ebay, not sure if there the ones your looking for or not but this guy had a bunch of trojan parts

would this work on my 1979 f26 ? Bronze propeller, nibral alloy & bronze shaft. Propeller is 17 X 17 right hand 3 blade. Michigan Wheel manufacturer. Very good condition with no nicks or dents. Shaft is 1-1/4 inches diameter by 72 inches long with tapered end & keyway slots machined each end...
