Thanks for posting this type of material. Could be very handy in some cases. I had a great buddy that died this year and I have watched him weld up alum radiators with great success just using a torch. Don

I lost or misplaced the round metal tubes that go into the rubber motor mounts for a 223CI 63 6th cyl engine. Does anyone have some for sale?Thanks

Thanks for your comebacks. I will file this away incase I want to remove the 223 6th cyl engine one of these days. 514 hp out of 347 is almost unreal. Tooo much engine for an everday driver but could be fun in a lesser hp condition.

Hey gang Can someone tell me what years 302 v8 were made with carbs. Are there 302 that could be c onverted to a carb? Is there a 302 that will permit a 5 speed od trans to be b oldted up the the engine? Thanks for your time and effort to answer my questions. Saw a 347 ci pull 514 Hp with vic edelbr...

I would agree with used engines BUT there is the problems of 1 Will they make it good if something is not ok. How much time will they give you to find out inside the engine what you bought. there are several test that will help to determine if its good. etc I have been lied to a few times about gooo...

You can purchase a complete kit with the crank, rings, bearings etc and it will save you a lot of money. The block and parts will need to be hot tanked for cleaning. If you dont have the skill or tools to do the work yourself then look into a votec class at highschool to do the work for a small fee....

sorry to disagree with you. Bought a 65 truck from the original owner and it was Limited slip rear end. Maybe a special order because it was a Game warden truck.

Here is a couple of quick test. Bump the engine over until the points are open. Take a small screwdriver and short the open arm of the points to ground and you should see a small arc to ground which means that the primary side of the ignitions is good unless the arc is very very small. Next bump the...

sORRY I was unable to post a thanks for your imput about the spacers. Yes I called summit and they sent me a 1/4 inch spacer and its works great. My computer has a grudge against me lately. It will not let me sign in I got kicked off a couple of times for going over the 5 time limit trying to change...

Need to ask a bumb question. I powder coated my stock rims then decided to go with speedway disc brake kit for my 63 truck. The rim rubs lightly on the disc brake calipers. I did a small amount of grinding but believe they will still rub when turn a corner. Is is safe and possible to use some harden...

I know where a unibody is in Missouri south central and the price is 700 dollars. It has no hood and looks to be almost rust free. No engine or trans plus it has bucket seats installed. Let me know and I will get the wrecking yard phone number for you. Don Luster

Does anyone need some custom machine shop work? My brother in law,which is a wonderful machinest is trying to say in business. His shop is located in Hernando Miss. He can do most anything. He had to lay off almost all employees because of no business and the big plants closing down. Give Neal Hamm ...

Why don't you just have the old starter rebuilt? Just my poor opinion. Don

It will depend upon which engine that you have. Some of the big blocks can be a real pain that requires days of preremoval techniques. First thing I like to do is to use the best penetrating oil and soak them for two-three days then use a six point socket to see if they come loose. If they dont want...

If the rubber hoses for the flex part of the fuel lines could be cracked and the pump cannot lift the fuel from the tank. On my slick there is rubber lines at the bottom of the floor where the line goes through and at the fuel pump and the fuel filter. All are point to prevent fuel because the pump ...

Hey don't feel sorry for him> It may be a blast. I drove a covered chuck wagon for the red river of texas all the way across Ok into the state of Kansas. It was the most wonderful exciting trip of my life. We also had a herd of longhorn steers that went along with us. This was to celebrate the 100 y...

I sooooo glad somepeople are carring on the trade of blacksmithing. My grandfathers was one of the best. He taught me several thing in the shop. he used a silicon sand from a town in ark called guin Ar Its a very pure white sand and really forges well. If you are ever in ark give me a holler and I w...

my 352 pu was a gas hog from the day it was new. It got about 10-12 miles empty or loaded. I rebuilt the engine and put in earlier cam and crankshaft gears, gas mileage cam from iski. and headers Did triple angle valves and moly ring set clearance as they should be and guess what I raised the gas mi...

It has been bad in Ark. There are hundreds of elec trucks and crews working around the clock. we are lucky and got elec last night. My son is without water or power but drove over for a bath. He had to wait for over 2 hours to be able to get fuel for his vehicle. I was in the chainsaw shop and peopl...
