Some cleaning up of the rough edges of glass and you will be 80% there. Are they straight enough to be show quality paint ready? No…, but heavy gel coat and thick glass. I have all OEM metal and everything lined up perfectly. Rough up the gel coat with 120, thin layer of filler like any...
I personally don’t use Teflon tape, but the liquid 3M or LocTite brand thread sealer has always worked for me and my sending units work fine. The threads will still cut through and ground, and the liquid will fill the gaps
Or you can leave it dry, run it home as tight as you can get it, and...
The pictures are hard to decipher, but I think I see what you mean. I’m in the process of taking mine apart for paint. Here are pictures of my gaps and how they are set. However, I don’t have those crappy rubber bumpers, mine are fiberglass so I was able to glass them and make them fit better...
My buddy has one in his 57 Chevy. Turbo 400, SBC with ProCharger. Making about 700hp, loves it. Think he is running a 3.90 gear. Runs 9.80’s on the track, then cruises down the highway. We do drag/drive events together and he loves it for that.
The guys I know of that have had issues leave...
Back when I started turning wrenches, the shop I worked for was a Jasper installer. I probably installed about 20-24 engines…Chevy and ford. Only ever had an issue with one Chevy engine and they covered 100% of it. They sold an install kit at the time…think it was $199 at the time. Plugs, wires...
I don’t care what you do with your engine either or what happens. I was just replying to your first post. You were asking when it gives up? At what RPM? At what horsepower?
Have at it. Throw 3 kits of spray on it as well as 30lbs of boost. Doesn’t matter to me. Then you’ll know first hand...
Well, when the block splits from the webbing giving out, the oil makes one hell of a mess. Witness it once and you’ll know what I’m talking about. Not pretty….and the block I saw, the rods and crank were still intact….
I have a weatherstrip kit for entire car which includes the door felts you are looking for. I also have a set of blue seat belts (not sure if front and back or just front), have used headlight and parking light bezels (chrome non OEM) in good shape. Also have a 81 front upper grill if you need that.
I had a 355, 74 4bolt main studded, Callie’s crank and Crower rods, forged pistons, and Brodix heads. 12 PSI of boost but only ran it to 6500, not 10K like you want to, made 652HP at the wheels. I was told by many people that I was on borrowed time, and wasn’t “if” it was gonna blow, but...
