    leaky heads gaskets, I'm losing it!

    Alright, My 360 La motor needed new valve seals. I happen to have all the components to switch over to magnum heads including a set of heads. I figure, Why not? I made a hybrid for my 67 Dart years ago and it runs well. I'll do the same for the old D100. So I tear the motor down. Scrape the...

    318 block plate??

    Pulling the slant six and putting in a 318 and 904 trans. Is there a steel plate that goes between the block and the trans on a small block or is it just an inspection plate? I don't see a plate on the slant six. Maybe I am just thinking about early Ford days before I was converted .

    questions for the engine builders

    I have read a few articles that talk about adding a small dab of silicone around the water ports before installing head gaskets. Does anyone do this?
