440 ICD Rebuild: Ready for repairs

[CAR]

Here is where I'm at. I have the trans., bell housing, reverser case, finals and steering clutch housings cleaned and sand blasted. I have the 2-53 disassembled except for the cam gears and balancers. I do need to remove these to clean the block and replace the seals and gaskets. I have removed all the gears from the transmission case to repair the chip in the case housing, as well I will replace all seals and bearings, the gears appear to have little wear. The differential and slines all look good.

The engine block.



Here are engine parts that need to be cleaned. The engine will get a valve job, crank reground, new pistons, rings, sleeves, and seals and gaskets.



Here is the dismantled trans.



Here is the chunk from the case that needs repaired, I have to preheat the case before brazing. Sorry about the out of focus pic.



Cleaned steering clutches and finals.




I hope to make my repair and start doing a little painting this weekend, at least get everything primed. I need to start putting something back together I'm running out of room.

Thanks Mark,
Ran all my engine parts through a parts washer, block too, it is nice to handle them without always having to dip in the hand cleaner.
I see you have ties to Marietta Ga. I live in Auburn, just NE of Lawrencville.
