    Gotta get this sorted out!

    butchered names....

    Many years ago I had to call an insurance company secretary to book in an assessment. I would only spell the clients name and told the sec if she wanted to have a go at pronouncing it, it was her call. Her name was Mrs Kuntish! Well the sec coughed a few times and said we will leave that one...

    remote oil filter fittings tapped right into the block UPDATE in post 58 and the whole idea got 86ed

    Are you shure it is at the oil plate? I had a leak and had to unbolt the headers to get at the remote pipes but after many attempts I suddenly found out it was the valve covers leaking and running down the back of the block and dripping off the oil lines. The alloy covers hit on the inlet...

    Aussie Hemi 6's

    The hemi six with torqueflite bolt pattern you guys are talking about is very rare in aus. It was used mainly in police pursuit cars and had a 727 behind it from the factory. There are a few people that make adapter kits for the normal blocks to fit torqueflites to.
