Hi guys, Am installing engine back in the 73 RR and not sure if I have motor mounts in wrong sides or if it might be the k member is not exactly square with the car. when installing trans. tail piece is off of center by about 3 in. put a ratchet strap on it and was able to get it to it's correct...
zThought maybe you could pull one out and insert another until you got the one Teflon coated then reinstall without draining the coolant. but what do I know, that's why I asked
so I can use the bolts that were supplied by summit(which are only about 3/4 in. long) and just put Teflon paste on them? Do I have to drain part of the coolant to do this? Thanks

Hey folks, as some of you know I have my 73 RR still in resto mode and am working on doing some add on stuff to the 440 that I have. The casting #'s on the block are 2536430, I have taken a set of heads from a 383 I have and put them on because I may have had an overheating issue and wasn't...
I'm with you, I work outside in construction everyday and they seem to last the best of anything I have ever tried. Keep them kiwi'd and they will last you a long time..
I have the heads off of the motor and 2 rear water jacket ports on both sides of engine and on heads were plugged completely shut with a hard black residue. Pushed drill bit thru them and blockage was just on the ends of the holes. Hoping this is my problem, waiting for new gasket kit to come in...
