the rocket? are you serious that is a very expsensive engine!!!! did you know?????????? i have been looking for one really they are NOT easy too find one went for 3000g's really running but decked out though lol
@bluewolfsoldier1987 Oh yes we knew of its value, even tried to find buyers. But the transmission was junk and the engine was locked up. Sadly it was junked.
@bluewolfsoldier1987 I have a 425 rocket in my oldsmobile that runs, but there are no buyers, so im derbying that too. but after the derby im putting the motor in my dail driver
Scrap the motor. Save the carb. And mabye the tranny. Its a turbo 400. Best derby tranny. I run a BOP 400 with a chevy motor. And made my own adapter plate. My back up motor is a OLDS. 350. So I only need one tranny with this set up.
@BanditMotorsports77 I count 6 bolts holding the tailshaft housing on. 375 have 4 like a turbo 350. Nothing is toast around here. If we break the case we just have our tig welder buddy weld it back. Too bad your in Ohio. I could use a some spare parts. And I think shipping would cost me more then what a scrap one would cost me here. Too bad one of your Ohio drivers moved here months ago. Maybe he could have brought it with him.
@BanditMotorsports77 Arizona. I found a Chevy 400 today in the scrap pile. Its was stuck to a old 327. Tranny looks ok. Small crack in the bellhousing. I love my new job. Only probelm is I find to much junk I want to bring home!
pull the spark plugs out, then put diesel in each cylinder and put the spark plugs back in. Let the diesel sit in them for a while. Then pull the spark plugs back out and get a long breaker bar with a cheater bar on it and put a socket on the harmonic balancer bolt and attempt to roll the motor over.
@63rambler65lincon Or, you mix, 4 stroke oil with 2 stroke oil. I did that to my lawn mower I got a while back. It was siezed up, no way I was getting it turning over conventionally. I just put the oil mix in a squeeze bottle and within an hour, she was turning over like it was never siezed! It was just very smokey the next day when I got it running!
