However retrofitting a new motor to look carb and then installing the harness and relocating the tank to the rear there's a lot of stuff to change and my garage isn't that big ![]() Heard that LSX's run the smaller motors too but the coil packs are an eye sore as well as those cute little plastic covers so more and more stuff to change there.

Re: 1972 Chevy p/u NewType Build
Starting to lean more and more on the older block and just make it solid

Re: 1972 Chevy p/u NewType Build
To me the reliability of an older engine that has been gone through properly will give you great service for a 150,000 miles or better. For me that's like forever when you consider that Lodi is a 2x2 mile square

Re: 1972 Chevy p/u NewType Build
Glad I'm in a limbo right now just waiting for the cash to start piling up again so I can get my dads spare motor worked over by an "actual" motor builder make sure she's got a solid base and mate it to a rebuilt 700r4 case that ill pick up along the way. Definitely wanting to upgrade to an overdrive tranny so ill make that mileage a bit better. Ill leave the rear end alone for now since its solid may change some fluids throughout the truck next weekend and just start planning the following steps from there pretty excited and hoping to have it all swapped out by the end of may or so well see how it goes

Re: 1972 Chevy p/u NewType Build
I'd keep the 350 just because I understand it and as Shawn said you can fix it on the side of the road with basic hand tools, no software required!

Re: 1972 Chevy p/u NewType Build
That's my opinion but as much as I used mine, it was a definite plus. Parts available everywhere

Re: 1972 Chevy p/u NewType Build
Not completely true the napas and oreillys or auto zones are starting to carry less and less of the older stuff. I set down my old bent pushrod and rocker arm and the guy looked t me like I was trying to sell him dirt in a jar from the 1800's he actually asked me what the pushrod is so I responded by leaving the store. And they were supposed to be the hot rod parts store with intakes and cams and what not he couldn't even I.d. A basic necessity I feel ashamed to be apart of the new generation somedays

Re: 1972 Chevy p/u NewType Build
Finally fixed this little bugger Sunday afternoon and boy let me tell you that is a PITA to change when you have a serphentine setup on the front of your block took me two hours. So far though I've had a clean drip pan in my garage so I'm stoked about that!
![]() I'm gonna try and be ambitious and change my motor oil this weekend sometime so while I'm under there shell get a nice and thorough scrubbing to make sure I've solved all the leaks. She's starting to come around finally ![]() ![]() Posted via Mobile Device Posted via Mobile Device

Re: 1972 Chevy p/u NewType Build
Well worth your time, at least you won't loose the coolant and overheat it

Re: 1972 Chevy p/u NewType Build
No kidding don't need a scare like that.
Was talking on the Facebook group page as well and the topic of fuel filters came up and apparently I have a very dangerous one in being the in-line glass fuel filter sitting above my intake/valve cover area do I need to re think and put a canister style one on? Here's what I have.. ![]() Posted via Mobile Device

Re: 1972 Chevy p/u NewType Build
Facebook page?!?!?
I have had that same filter on my chevelle for 10 years, below the block actually close to the ground. Never any problems so far. I guess they may have been saying the heat could cause the glass to crack? But it is unlikely to get that hot. I'm not aware that glass filters are any less safe than metal.

Re: 1972 Chevy p/u NewType Build
The Facebook has group pages separating the body styles its very social and sometimes quicker response just more accessible I suppose to many but anyway.
I've ran the canister style for 2 1/2 years and have just recently switched to this visible glass filter with no issues so far I just wanted to check if i was picking up anything. Here's what they showed me and quite frankly I don't sit well with my truck possibly burning down. I have a four core radiator and it keeps my truck quite cool but being all black it does draw some heat so I'm back in forth a bit any personal experiences here with these? http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=542661

Re: 1972 Chevy p/u NewType Build
I have seen these blamed for fires, how they break I don't know but I quit using them just to b safe. Do you have the plastic fittings in the ends?

Re: 1972 Chevy p/u NewType Build
Yes mine was the multi-fitting kit. It's not a huge loss if I replace it I kinda liked the visible style but a nice polished out cylinder would look B.A. too course an unburnt to a crisp truck is good as well
