re the gap, you could add another layer of steel sheet to the lip of either the infill panel or the cowl panel or both to reduce the gap. basically they'd be double skinned but with the outer edge fully welded and ground smooth nobody would know. neil.

sent you a pm jimmy. neil.

can i suggest painting the area up behind the dash and the backside of the dash panel white? it won't be seen once assembled but if you ever need to fault find behind there it's much easier to see anything against a white background. :thumbsup: neil.

i've shortened a few, all different makes (been building hotrods over 40 years). unless you can clearly see it's a tube inside a tube (rubber bonded between) then they just seem to have a thick cardboard tube inside. i'm guessing it damps any noise from the driveshaft when pulling at low revs...

if the 3/8 bolt's head centres in the perch that'll do. it only needs to centre it for assembly, once the 'u' bolts are tight it can't move. same for the 5/16" centre bolt to be honest, it's function is just to hold the leaves together while the springs are fitted in place. there's no load on...

the 'c' is for crap :rofl:

What Champion Plug ru Using in you 340? none, i only use ngk. :thumbsup:

is it worth putting it in hot weater to soften it and see if it'll stretch back out?

and the 305 is less than 3 3/4" so much smaller than a 318. neil.

a big hammer and a bigger hammer. hold the bigger one behind the rivet and hit the other side with the big one. it'll help if the rivets have loosened but not so much if the holes are worn oversize (wallered out, lol). neil.

:rofl:

nice neat repair there :thumbsup:

and that 6.1 cfm would be slightly less once the 318 block is bored 30 over like the 360 bore you tested. :thumbsup: neil.

looking good :thumbsup: without looking back has the motor been broken in? if not i'd do that before getting the headers coated in case the process damages the coating. neil.

if it won't fit use an adjustable reamer to open it up to size. :thumbsup:
