The metal line for your turbo 350 trans is a good idea so it won't melt against the exhaust. Better look on you tube to get the rest of the story....... just kidding. Stuff happens. Rebuild with more power!

When I got out to where it happened, it was dripping water out of a hole in the oil pan. When we got it home, he drained what water was left, then he said some oil came out too.

It'll definately be another father/son project. When he first got it, we pulled the motor, replaced all the gaskets, plugs, etc. He cleaned it up, painted and we put it back in. Glad I kept the engine stand

We've been able to find 305/350s around here for $200 - $500. Told him once he gets a steady paycheck, we'll see about getting it back on the road.
