I think i found out why my project truck got parked. Maybe a little JB weld and it will be as good as new?????
I am pretty sure it won't buff out. Oh well, just a 350...

That might just be an experimental "crankcase ventilation system"? is there an X in the casting code? LOL

Build yourself a 383 STROKER, you have the perfect excuse!!!!

JB weld, and the reason it ran rough is you only have one sparkplug wire, put it back in after you fix the hole, be sure to get 3 new wires

That looks like one my brothers ex girlfriend did a number on in his truck.

Now you have to pull the pan and show us the grizzly cause for the ventelated pan. Inquiring minds want to know. I guess you could clean the pan and hang it on the wall as a conversation piece with a different story for each person who asked about it.

I think i have a replacement engine already. I knew something was up when i could only turn the engine over a quarter turn each way and it would stop with a slight "clunk". Not sure if i will tear it down just to look or not.

If it is older truck block...keep it and rebuild it.

all it needs is a little duct tape

BossHogg69 · 05-26-2009, 10:00 AM

a couple of gently chewed pieces of Dubble Bubble will fix that right up.
