352 Engine/Transmission rebuild questions

Posted by Smitty15 On 2017/11/8 22:04:38

Just a couple, this is only my second project car, been doing the old Harley thing for years though...

The camshaft doesn't want come free, I get about a half inch, maybe less of slide out and then... stuck. Something I missed?

I am also looking for a 56 Tq Converter. The car came with a 56 trans in the trunk, because the previous owner was told it needed it. I pulled the factory trans and it looks pretty crummy, the 56 looks brand new but I need the converter for the new trans. Part of me would be up for a manual but at the same time the floor in this thing is in such amazing shape it would almost be a shame to go cutting it up!

I'm going mildly custom with this so I don't intend on stroking/boring anything, but polish, port, maybe new distributor, still learning about the car and what can/cant be done. This site has been a major help in that endeavor!!! So thanks everyone and thanks in advance for the help!
