    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

    I'll make another point. About the only things you can adjust, on a car engine, carb, by an external adjustment, is the accelerator pump, choke, idle speed, and idle jets. Anything to do with...

    Is that a fuel line and filter out the back under the bumper? I agree you need to say that the engine is a 385 series, if built on a 460 block. It is possible to build a FE that big with a few...

    Thanks for sharing the results. I agree that you should go to a lighter oil. Assuming your 20W50 is the same viscosity oil as sold in the USA, that is still on the high side in my opinion. Using...

    Do your research on Roush. They are more like a mass produced product and don't have the greatest customer service. I would go with Blykins or Kraft Racing. You will get much more personal...

    I might add that a good scrubbing of the new block should be done. Any sand from the casting process that finds it's way into the oil is a very very bad thing. Sand in the coolant isn't good...

    Another point, I should add. Blykins passion is the 351 Cleveland. I'm not sure if it can be stroked to 400 cid, but I think so. Maybe not with the shorter deck. I expect you can get an...
