In that first pic I see you still need to remove the camshaft and distributor drive gears to get the 1ST and  2ND main bearings off. To do this remove the half moon key at the end of the crankshaft. Next remove the oil slinger washer. Next slide the 1ST main bearing off. Next remove the snap ring off the crackshaft. Then use a gear puller and hook it between the 2ND main bearing and camshaft drive gear. As you pull, the distributor drive gear will slide off too. 8) 8) 8)

Sorry. Haven't had the time... I'm kinda torn guys... I also have a grand national with a blown motor and I just found a new block with an upgraded crank and forged pistons for $900... I don't know if I should continue with the buggy or get it back on the road.... It's stressing me out.  drowning

I know. I know. Went to the machine shop this morning. Told me to clean the inside of the block more and get the measurements for the new jugs. He has plenty of experience with these motors has all the bearings I'll need, and is highly reccommended. Anybody ever hear the name John gunn? I guess he's pretty big in drag racing.

??? ??? ??? His name doesn't ring a bell for me. Where's he out of ? If he's an old VW drag racer, the machine work to your block will be done right.8) 8) 8)

WHY do YOU have to clean out the case if he's so good? BS.

5 minutes in a bead or soda blaster is going to save what? Hell ,when I was doing the auto machine shop I cleaned all blocks as part of the boring cost. I can't imagine a shop not doing so now. Oh well.
