TREY CARVALHO says:

I’m happy with what I saw. I’m not easily motivated to do things but when
someone is willing to give their tiime and effort to benefit others and I
in knowledge of how to do something that many are not willing to show or
teach I get active ๐Ÿ™‚ Thank you!

I may have missed but where you get the ball type pushrods n how much?

Chuck Fasst says:

Best source for pushrods: summit.

MrBuriebell says:

Very informative you should have had a person to hold the camera so we can
see a little better

Marcus Mar says:

Great video, although you should keep those pushrods in order.

Chuck Fasst says:

Yeah Buddy!

59catmando says:

What cam specs did you go with for your new cam?

Jake Toolson says:

Also, does the fuel pump need to be removed? I see you removed the fuel
pump.

Chuck Fasst says:

Yup, wrenchin’ and filmin’ don’t always make the best bed partners ๐Ÿ˜‰

Chuck Fasst says:

True, vid quality suffered some. I would have liked to have done some redos
for sure. :-

Jake Toolson says:

Your videos are exactly what I needed – start to finish (well near finish,
right?! ). Question, when replacing the cam and timing chain and gears, do
I need to pull the distributor out or can I leave it?

Chuck Fasst says:

Absolutely. The fuel pump pushrod rides on a cam lobe on the camshaft. I’m
pretty sure one of the vids shows the technique for the fuel pump.

MRGILBERTO83 says:

What is the RED BAR under the front of the van ?

MrUnknown928 says:

he you gave good details about the engine . let’s me really understand it
.about what’s good or what’s bad.others show’s don’t show you or tell you
these things here to help you out on rebuilding your 350

dondawg00 says:

a small magnet tool works great on removing the lifters also

chrisurfer83 says:

video quality made it a little difficult to see as well. overall good video
and very helpful. i’m about to put my first cam in a motor i pulled from a
junkyard… we’ll see how it goes!

Chuck Fasst says:

Yep, true. The length of the vids become a factor on these lengthy jobs. A
lot of editing gets done to make them shorter for YouTube. But you got some
tips, that’s good.

chrisurfer83 says:

good tips, i would have liked to see a little more on the removal processes
and the install process

DHWhatisittoya says:

Your lobe on your old cam went bad because of that lifter if you ever put
new lifters in a motor you gotta do them all then go through the break in
process again or the cam goes flat I’ve never seen one as flat as the one
you pulled I’m surprised it ran
