Re: Coolant level dropping fast

Thought the same thing about the craigslist dude. Not really into it. Talked to another guy at a shop that was recommended to me through the grapevine. Only thing with this guy is he doesn't seem too into building me an engine, but more into selling me stock 1984 one he put new pistons and rings in.Hell he didn't even call me back with the info I asked for.

It's kinda crazy i'm having a hard time finding a guy to build me a short block or engine locally.

Oh, and so fare the guy on ebay is by far the most on top of it guy I've talked to yet. I was just really hoping to stay close to home so there's doors to kick in if the engine craps out.

As far as the HP numbers... Don't really care what the real numbers are as long as it has the the components that I want that should make a substantial power output when stomped on! I'm not even after horsepower, I want torque.

Re: Coolant level dropping fast

Finished my first engine install the other day of my new 383 stroker so I'm still pretty pumped! The only bad thing now is waiting for some help to put the hood back on. Let me tell yea though, I can't wait to drive this sucker.

You can skip ahead at 1:00 to 1:40 as that's just dead space.

What's the specs?
Sounds good!
Was that the first start after rebuild and install?
