These guys explained lots of stuff really well!!

Just use a rubber or "flexible" mount so you don't have to worry about it??

$600 Stimulus payment coming next week!!!

Then maybe it is best that you sell the car??

NO one ever looks to see what type of engine you have after an accident???

You can't get the car inspected with the slant 6 then swap motor after words?? Or do they inspect it every year??

For insurance I always LIE, they never look at or check what engine you actually have.

How many times will they inspect the car?? If they only inspect it once for the VIN then you can get it inspected with the/6 then swap motors. If they say anything about it later all you have to say is that the /6 blew up and all you had was the bigger engine to replace it with.

It's alive and it's a MONSTER!!!!:steering::steering::steering::thumbsup:

If I'm seeing it correctly, it looks like one of those valves broke off and rusted into the valve guide. Not sure how you can fix that, the guide would be destroyed when you try and get the rusted valve stem out???

Burnt toast!!!

If it was a dirty fuel filter not only would it not run well but it wouldn't start after being off for a few minutes??? If the filter is dirty it will be dirty all the time, not just after it's been off for a few days.

But that won't stop fuel from evaporating out of carb when the car sits with a hot engine/intake. It's the hot engine and intake that boils the fuel after you shut down the engine and let it sit. The fuel bleed back is another issue.

One way to troubleshoot the problem is to let it sit for a few days then remove the air cleaner and give it a shot or two of gas down the carb if it starts or tries to start then you know that the gas in the carb is evaporating. I had the same problem with my 318 Barracuda, I installed an...

NO TP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?????????????????????????????? Reverse course back to space station at warp speed I have diarrhea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think I was cast when I was born!!:lol:

I made myself some homemade metal shields out of sheet metal. I just shaped them using some pipe of the correct diameter and made them fit. The metal absorbs and dissipates the heat and protect the boots.

It would difficult to do while still on the car because you have to be able to get different types of files (round, 1/2 round, etc) and file 90 degrees to the gear teeth to get the new tooth form (shape) as close to the other teeth as possible. You basically have to file/shape it so it's very...

Just take one tooth out of the starter gear and it will match up with the ring gear every time it comes around?? OR, weld it up....a good weld will last a very long time!!

Bullshittery??????????????????????? Is that a'kin to Crapola????

You actually never know what you're getting so you have to get it as cheap as possible in case there's a problem. If it was in the car and running, well ......that would totally different. You'll be very angry if you pay $400 only to find that it's all jacked up. Treblig

I'm sure that everybody wishes that they had your problem.......:lol:

Woulda'thunk when we were kids playing with Play Doh that we would still be playing with it 30, 40 and 50 years later??????

Play Doh!!!! Not just for kids anymore!! Just place some large round balls of Play Doh on top of your air cleaner and close the hood. Let it sit for a few seconds then lift your hood and measure the thickness of the Play Doh....that will tell you how much clearance you have then add the 1...

Oh OK, it's just that there were so many suggestions on how to approach the problem I was wondering which approach you decided to use. treblig

What made you decide to remove the timing cover??? Or did you just do it because that's what you suspected??

A bird in the hand is worth two 383s in the bush!!!!

The purpose of the "thumb" method is to determine if the distributor is in the correct relation to the crank timing mark. If you can get the car on the compression stroke on number one piston you can then manually move the to TDC. If the rotor isn't pointed to number 1 cylinder then the chain...

All you need to do is pull the number 1 plug. With the engine cold and the coil wire off have someone bump the starter with you holding your thumb in the plug hole on the head. You'll get pressure when it's coming up on the compression stroke if you don't bump too fast. Once you feel the...

A 1/16 steel spacer between the exhaust manifold (where the exhaust manifold gaskets goes) and the head as long as the outside of the manifold will still clear any other components?? Like the header flanges they make for home made headers. Like this but thinner...although this might work...
