They might tell you they do, but when it comes out it will be rustier than when it went in. That's the last 3 shops I used. I even asked the last guy, "Do you use caustic"? He said yes. $100 thrown away. Before leaving your block ask to see something he just did. I guess they don't use the good...

Maybe so but that's not supposed to go wrong.

Wow, what a screw up.

I used to have a red 4-speed 68 Coronet R/T. I bought it in Jonesboro, Arkansas in 1974. It was sitting at a gas station with a For Sale sign on it and I got to thinking, Why not? I liked it.

The only thing I'm certain about is that you're a better man than me if you tackle that job.

Be nice, Bubba was doing his best with what he had to work with.

There is probably plenty of deck surface there to seal so I guess it's a non-event.

The Schumacher mounts should put the engine right where it needs to be. My fan was right in the center of the shroud.

I was happy with the result

I've done that. Except into a Superbird. But no difference. I used the Shumacher mounts to keep from having to source a k-member/brackets and mounts. The Shumacher mounts worked perfect. If you have power brakes you might have to buy Hemi brackets. The are other small changes, alternator...

Hemi Orange is red, Vitamin C is orange.

I assume a 73 has a cable? If so try lubing it. It's easy on a 69 and might fix it.

I think the thermal clutches are readily available from auto parts stores. I can't say how close to the OEM look they are. But someone on here will chime in with that info.

I think the proper way to say that is a/c cars use a thermal fan clutch. That's that spring you see on the front of the clutch. I think it locks tighter when hot for the a/c. High Performance cars use a viscous drive fan to limit the rpm's for performance, noise and safety.

You look legit!

Ok, good, I learned something. I have a couple of 70 Road Runner carbs I think and saw the 4 digit dates and thought they were replacement carbs. I knew my 65 Race Hemi carbs were 404 and thought all Holleys were 3 digits until the early 70's.

I thought Holley date codes were 3 digits when that car was made. I think all 4 digit Holleys were made after that car.

What is the build date of your engine? I would assume you would want it a month or 2 before that?

China and youtube. Those are the 2 game changers. 50 years ago when I started there's no way you could afford a set of Starrett micrometers. They cost as much as the car you are driving. Now we have Harbor Freight and 100 Chinese companies making special tools that a hobbyist can afford. (People...

Yes, I would love reading through those. I'll PM my info.Thanks
