After only 3000 miles the coolant and transmission fluid is OK to leave there for 50.000 more miles.
But if you remove it...it is unsafe to put back in?
I will be draining to install new engine and new transmission.
now i'm going to play the devils' advocate here.Changing these fluids after only 3000 miles is accepted as cheap insurance...so do you guys change your coolant and auto transmission fluid every 3000 miles?
Would you re use your auto transmission fluid if it was only in the car for 3 years, is clean and only has about 2 or 3 thousand miles on it?
...and how about the anti freeze also?
You would have to look at the whole build but everything mechanical has a sweet spot where you get the most for the least.Like Rumble explained your camshafts' operating range plays a big part.If it operates from 2500 - 6000 rpm it would struggle cruising at 2200 rpm.
this is not as simple as it seems.
A friend with a 408 and 3.91 gears installed a Mopar auto overdrive in his pick up and his mileage went down.Your most efficient low speed torque must be your cruise rpm and that is determined largely by your cam.If you just want to lower the rpm on the...
if they are already installed i might use them but really they are throw away money makers for the auto companies and do fail. Check any dealer scrap bin and you will find a quite a few sometimes.If i needed them i would install o.e. tapered rollers though.
i would stick with original tapered roller bearings or install them if you have the green ball bearings.
I don't know why anybody would install green bearings?
Brewers' list specific pedals for early A,...'68,"69,..."70-72,...'73 and later?

Is there a preferred year to use in a conversion?
tx guys
