Hey guys,
I acquired a 1959 302 GMC and it was running a few years before I bought it. Needs a knew intake and exhaust, oddly enough it has no serial number just stamped 302, has anyone seen that before? I am just going to go the route of rebuilding it. As I have only ever attempted to rebuild an engine once and it was a S/B chevy, this is going to be an adventure. If you guys can help along the way it would be greatly appreciated, I want this to be a driver. What im thinking is this,
- Intake and headers from Clifford's
- Also Clifford's said they can grind the cam for a driver engine.
- Full flow oil mod with spin, (ill have the machine shop do the modification, but i wl need help with the plumbing after that.
- head done for modern fuel and any suggestions here would help.
- bore the cylinders just to clean them up, this engine has one rebuild on it so we will see how much it's been bored. Then I would like to go aluminum pistons but I'm at a loss on where to source that.
- if I can keep stock rods and bearings I would like to but suggestions here also
Thats to start with, let me know what you guys think and can help with.
