Re: PO has me PO'd
Main thing is trying to get over sickness for the last three weeks...finally feeling better
After that crossmember, I've just bin staring.... Putting the front of the motor back together, permanently! Gotta figure out a PVC system, Ive got the Offy breather mounted, just have to buy a valve and plumb it into the air cleaner. Work on the exhaust to mount up everything, then it's on to carb, distributor, and radiator Then.... Vroooom, Vrooooom ![]()

Re: PO has me PO'd
Yeah thats what happens when you try to cross amountain pass in June and dont know where the mudholes are under the snow, damn mountain springs lol! Lots of winching and breaking off dead stumps to get out of that one! I remember having a blast at rausch that day with these Blazer boys, lockers and tires do wonders lol
CANT wait to hear that engine come to life, and unlike these guys i KNOW you and why you want the shortblock, more tinkering lol. Love getting to see pics of your work, reminds me of growing up Gonna miss you guys like crazy on Xmas, you know where my thoughts will be, and as for what i stand for, its what you taught me..... |

Re: PO has me PO'd
Good memories, nothing like drinking beer around the campfire and hanging out with motorheads. Can't deny the white knuckles, tough when you have no control of the situation

Re: PO has me PO'd
Jaros, I saw on another thread where you were looking for a set of valve covers w/ PCV hole, check out post #2 in this thread:
http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=308546 Can you use those as a pattern? The single hole side was where the PCV was, there was a rubber grommet in place. Let me know if I need to get some measurements, or ship these to you for use as a pattern.
