Thank you so much for that link wawarnick, the one picture showing the bolts in holes going into coolant passages is the one where coolant is coming out of on mine.

I have a 68 340 and noticed yesterday coolant leaking from the gasket between the timing cover and block. We pulled the front of the engine off to replace the gaskets and it appears as if coolant is coming out of one of the timing cover bolt holes. Do any of these bolt holes go through coolant...

Years ago my wife and I built a set of headers for my ‘70 Mustang and I recall it took us about three hours to make each tube. Just wanted to give you a gauge as to how much time you’ll have in them.

I just recently got a new 489 3rd member from Quick Performance with a Detroit locker and I'm really happy with it. I took right at two months to get it but it was worth the wait. I don't hear any clicking going around turns with it. I also had a Detroit locker in a '70 Mustang years ago and...

Tysons Automotive Machine in Sterling. Simon Brown is the owner. One man shop and he's awesome. I will be visiting him shortly for machine work for my boat engines.

That is a big job. I had to do that job twice on my 06, which is a bit more difficult than doing a 2003-2005. I had to pull the entire dash out (have to on an 06) to replace my doors and then about two years later had to do it again to do the evap coil.

In the mid 90’s I had a ‘77 Ford pickup with a 351M that had a knock develop while four wheeling it. I’m thinking it was a wrist pin as the oil pressure was still ok. I was in the process of building a 460 for it so I needed to keep it running for just a little bit longer as it was my daily...

I worked at an Amoco gas station when I was in high school, 1987-1990. At our station it was .99 for regular, 1.09 for mid grade, and 1.19 for premium. We were the highest around our area but those prices never changed the entire time I was there.

I paid $1500 for this 2004 Top Brand trailer about five years ago. It’s got two 7000 pound axles with brakes on all wheels so it’ll tow heavier stuff than a car if need be. It’s 22’ long with fold up ramps.

Thanks for the info. I’ll know what not to get next time

I didn’t know that, thanks for the info

They do break. I recently bought a used unit that looked ok but exploded after three passes behind a 450 ish Hp 340. Apparently it came out of a 12.0 360 Dart. It was a tough pill to swallow. Whatever you choose to do, I’d buy new.
