any suggestions on a intake manifold? or carb for this block. the block is rated at 375 high power so anything that will put us close.

hey guys i was welding on the car the other day and i think someone put some lead on this car. how can i tell. i was welding up some pin holes and burned the lead off. im not sure what to do. its above the wheel on the passenger side quarter. i welded up the bottom of it. ill have some pics up. anybody got any suggestions on the intake.

is that 292 cam to big for a 327?

the motor is on the previous page that we got its a
327 with 267/305 heads on it and a 292 comp cam and a steel crank .10 under flat top pistons.

FELPRO? gasket company?

I will keep at her. No haven't really been paying much attention to the C10 its just sittin.

[oldblue1968chevy]

Sitting? Why?

Felpro, yeah gasket co. If your like me you DONT want that thing to leak oil everywhere! I used some cheapo cork gaskets for everything, ughh.

[oldblue1968chevy]

Ha just noticed your ridin the bike on ice with the screws in the tire!?!? Sounds pretty crazy! I got the fourwheelers out this past snow we had 5"!!! It was DEEP! Lots of ice too

[threeonthetree]

cause its winter and i dont feel like letting my truck get covered in salt, then rusting out again. plus havent had much time to do anything to it.
haha yeah i told my old man them cork gaskets are junk. thats what we used for the oil pan i want to take it out and get a neprem one.

yeah studded 1983 cr250 for the ice its bad as

[threeonthetree]
