    I have a set of cast aluminum valvecovers just like these: They were originally my brothers and he overtightened them while installing on his car and cracked an ear each on them. The pieces are all still intack but have large cracks in them. Does anyone here know of anyone who could...

    Yeah, good thing I didn't plan on re-using it.with the prothane mounts raising the motor even more I want to eliminate all the stuff I really don't need.so the stud girdle are getting eliminated, buying short poly-locks and using short valve covers.

    Gt started pulling components. Found out my intake spacer is cracked in two spots. One in the EGR port which was not used and a small one in one of the intake runners. This was torqued to spec also!

    I've always wanted a boosted car, but I'm sure that won't happen for many year. I'm getting to the point now where I really don't want a powerhouse, I just want my car back in good driving condition. If I could get away with a hone and bearings I could have enough cash for forged pistons...

    Got the car in the garage and up on stands. Going to start dis-assembly tomorrow night. Been weighing my options on either getting my block rebuilt or buying a short block. I really like the power of the car and how it ran with my combo for daily driving. Thinking about getting a reman short...

    Well the plan for now is to rip the engine back out and to make a few changes. I got quoted $1850 for a small bore and to refresh the bottom end. Also found that summit sells ATK short blocks for $1499 but heard mixed reviews on them. Also going to get prothane motor mounts as they will...

    Ran into some more troubles this past weekend. Found out the FRPP pan is now hitting the steering rack. So a note to future 351w swappers. Do NOT use convertible mounts with this pan as you will have clearence issues. With the help of Cledus we did a compression test and had 1 cylinder...

    Worked on the car some with the help of a friend. Also found out that my oil pan is rubbing on my sway bar. This must be a combination of the convertible motor mounts with the FRPP pan. For the time being im going to space it out with large washers, while I work on finding SN95 sway bar...
