I was watching a video where the mechanic was changing exhaust manifold studs on a Detroit 8V92 diesel....the studs go into water in the heads.
The guy backed the studs about 90% out then his assistant stuffed a running shop vac into the radiator fill tube to create a suction in the cooling...
Ok...today I took some pieces of the 318 to the machine shop to be hot tanked ... oil pan, valve covers, front cover and a '69 340 intake.
The pan was from my $100 318... the other parts came out of my inventory.
The oil pan was soooo greasy and caked with crud that I decided to spend the $$$...
If my grandson shows up to learn something...
The oil pan on the 318 that is going in my '65 Coronet is banged up pretty good.
My grandson, who wants to learn auto mechanics, is supposed to show this weekend to learn... We will see.
Got my first box of parts from Brewer's...

Do I have to find a shifter specifically made for...
Ok...
I recently bought a '65 Coronet 500 project minus engine and transmission.
I am going to convert it to a small block 4 speed. Originally a 273 Torqueflite.
The engine will be a $100 318 until I can get my 340 together.
I have an early A body bellhousing. I am looking for an 833 4...
Ok..
I'm doing a low bucknrebuild on a 413... Early closed chamber heads (1960) on a '64 block. Looking for 11-1 compression or so. I am going to square up the block and zero deck the block...flat top pistons. Any ideas of how much I will need to shave the heads to get my 11-1
Yea I know I need...
