    Hey Rick,
    Last fall, I did some clutch work. I took the car out and really beat it up to make sure the clutch was going to work out well. When I got home, I noticed a mark on the left side pipe where the engine had torqued over, allowing the header to contact the body.

    Sure enough, the tab that's welded to the frame where the motor mount bolts up had broken. The weld failed. Not Shell Valley's fault. When I installed the engine, I had to cut that tab off and re-weld it. It was my weld that failed, not theirs. No way to get to it without pulling the motor, so I'm doing some cleanup under the hood and putting on new valve seals while the engine is out.

    I'm registered for LCS. That ought to get me going on re-assembly. See you there.

    Mike

    Pulling timing lowers Hp, and that's fine to lower the Hp some. If you go too far, in my opinion, that is a poor way to kill power. If you get to the point that you are lighting the fuel so late...

    To me bone stock family car engines with open exhaust sounds sick, and a good muffler gives the same engine a nice tone. Open pipes generally sound bad to me unless the engine is making power in...

    If you cannot appreciate that car, then you are not a car guy.

    40 yr ago was 1977. The original cars (aluminum body) stopped production in the late 60's. Shelby did not get interested in cashing in on the Replica car market until much later. I doubt seriously...

    Aluminum is a poor metal choice for rods. It is light and if money doesn't matter they make a great race engine that can rev quickly. However you need to replace them often. Aluminum has a nasty...
