    LD4b

    I agree Chief, its a mystery I guess, hopefully others will chime in, good catch on the A/C boss. Its just odd that it has big Ports on it. Both engines I have are 318's. I just don't like putting on the bigger ports for vaccuum leak issues and what not.

    LD4b

    I don't think the plenum was milled away I have seen alot of the LD4B's like this before and it has the smaller ports. The one on the left, "red one" doesn't seem to have been opened up either, but the "red one" has the chysler part number, just wierd its almost like it is a LD340 or something.

    Water in Engine

    Sid, I hear you on that one!! There was only about a quart of water in there crystal clear, and the oil wasn't all that bad that was in it, there are no real traces of rust formations anywhere. The air cleaner was on tight so the only water I believe that got in was from seeping down the...

    Thanks Mike, been in the Navy now 18 years, looks like I'll stay in for a while. Can't wait for the parts to come in for the engine. I have always wanted a 64-5 Signet that I could heavily modify and still make it look like a Barracuda on the front clip. Long road ahead. Next task will be...
