    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

    Use the 390 block and stroke it. You can get 431 ci from a 4.125 stroke, or 445 from a 4.25 stroke (That's with a ,030 cleanup bore). Or, if you want 427 ci, you can use your 352 block, bore it .060...

    Everything olddog just told you is spot on. There are three very good sources of EFI systems that you may not have heard of. All three have been providing them for years although, some have become...

    Just proves you CAN teach an old dog new tricks. Old dogs do learn faster than pups sometimes. ;)

    You may have to change your Logon name if you're going to learn EFI and computers. :LOL:

    I think too much time is wasted arguing over whether we should be able, as a citizen, to own a gun or guns - it's inherent in our Constitution. It's not going to change although liberals will try to...
