I picked up a BadBoy Vacuum recovery portable Media blaster. Found it on Craigslist for $225.



I also found my first nasty through-hole on the body on the passenger side fender near the bottom. I poked at it for a while and then cleaned it up with a dremel.




I took the the passenger side inner and outer fenders off to start cleaning them up. My father-in-law and I welded in a new piece about an hour ago. It still needs some work.

So far…. that is the only real nasty spot.
----------------------------------------------------------
A lot of the parts were replaced in the 302 DZ.

The cam had been changed. I think it might be a Crane cam.

http://www.cranecams.com/product/car...detail&p=23891
One of the lobes was wiped out.


Norm is going to change it to an exact equivalent of the original 30/30 with a Comp Cams kit #CL12-107-3.

Cam Style Mechanical flat tappet
Basic Operating RPM Range 2,800-6,800
Intake Duration at 050 inch Lift 254
Exhaust Duration at 050 inch Lift 254
Duration at 050 inch Lift 254 int./254 exh.
Advertised Intake Duration 346
Advertised Exhaust Duration 346
Advertised Duration 346 int./346 exh.
Intake Valve Lift with Factory Rocker Arm Ratio 0.485 in.
Exhaust Valve Lift with Factory Rocker Arm Ratio 0.485 in.
Valve Lift with Factory Rocker Arm Ratio 0.485 int./0.485 exh.
Lobe Separation (degrees) 114
Camshaft Gear Attachment 3-bolt
Intake Valve Lash 0.024 in.
Exhaust Valve Lash 0.024 in.
Grind Number 346S

Pic of the block


One of the guys working there said the double roller chain on the crankshaft is not correct. I looked it up and stock is supposed to be timing chain (3896961), crank sprocket (3896959) and cam sprocket (3896960).


Oil pump is not stock:

The Comp Cams replacement is supposed to be pretty good and the kit is $225.

The spec sheet page is here: http://www.compcams.com/Company/CC/c...px?csid=3&sb=2

IMO I would put an equivlent roller cam in.
less chance for lobe wipe and itll free up some HP.
but if you do go with an original make sure you use zinc additive in the oil or else itll wipe a lobe sooner than later.

You are right, but I'm staying original on this one Dawg. Will take your advice on the zinc additive.
