Need a little input here. I worked on a guys 68 GTX 440 auto a few weeks ago. He said it was overheating and losing antifreeze. Here's what I did to it. Removed the water pump housing and water pump from the front of the engine. The housing had some cavitation damage on the back side of it, so...

Great information!

Good information! The top end is 68, so they block is either a warranty block, or a remanufactured short block. Yes, there is no VIN number on the passenger side of the block. I'm going to have to clean out the cylinders and soak them to try to get it broke loose. I've looked in the...

Please see my reply below. 68 top end.

Heads are casting number 2843906-7. The casting date is 12-22-67. Intake and exhaust manifolds are late December casting dates. So the top end of engine is 68, and the block is 72. What parts are worth $500? It is locked up, but I've looked in the cylinders with a bore scope and they look...

If you look at my YouTube channel Wags Automotive, I have several videos on things I found while looking it over. If you have time, please watch them and give me some advice. Thanks again!

Hey guys I picked up a 440 engine with a 727 transmission yesterday. I was looking it over today, trying to find out what it is. But all of the typical places where there should be stampings are all blank. Can you guys help me figure out what it is for sure, and why all the stampings are...

How about a grill for a 73 RR & a vapor canister for a 318 car?

I never asked for opinions. I asked for advice. Opinions are like a**holes everyone has one & they all stink. Thats why I dont ask for them. Thank you again. And Im not being pissy. I just get sick of all the "armchair quarterbacks" that think they can tell someone "I guarantee you 100% this or...

If you make it back that way, let me know.

Thank you. Thats the information I was looking for. What code is "3 gallons of gas"? - - - Updated - - - Well just so you know - and Im not interested in more opinions - I have talked to 3 previous owners of the car, including the gentleman that bought it brand new - he is 96 years old &...

You asked for my build sheet & I gave it to you. Focus on that. Not your opinion. I really dont care what you think about my car. Lets stop beating that dead horse.
