327 V8 in a 65 B. What rad spacer/shroud configuration?
(Preview)
Can anyone tell me what I'll need to fit a rad in my 65 when the 327 goes in. I've been thinking of all I'll need, but I'm kind of confused as to the spacer/shroud configuration. Below is 2 pictures of a 65. One (327) has the short spacer/rad/shroud, the other (283) has the wide spacer/rad/no shroud. How s...

Is it tough to pull a old crank damper?
(Preview)
I'm trying to pull the 327 Damper, but it will not budge one iota. It's deflecting the arms of the puller. Do I need to heat the damper to crank flange?

Piston ring and choosing the appropriate flex hone question.
(Preview)
Guys, I took a head off my 327 today to see how much of a ring ridge I had. Turns out there is just a hint of it, in some spots I can't feel any. The engine had less than 50 thousand miles on it. So I'm not going with an overbore. My cheap 327 budget plan was to cut the ridge, and just simply replace the piston with n...

1965 230 six. How does the oil cap come out?
(Preview)
Dumb question. How is the oil cap removed from the valve cover? This one won't come out no how. There must be something simple I'm missing. I had to funnel oil in through the valve cover breather hole. Also, how was the valve cover breather fed? Did it have a tube running over to the air filter housing from...

4L80E build post.
(Preview)
Another project for our long winter. I bought this core about two years ago, to possibly add an overdrive to the 67. I love the BB, but with the 3.55 gear, she's not a happy highway cruiser. Turns 2700 at 60. I'd like to go further afield at some point, maybe check out some different shows. A overdrive is a m...

4L80E question,
(Preview)
I'm interested in doing a heavy duty overdrive. Will a 4L80E fit in the Tunnel of a 65-70 B Body? It's a very big transmission, and the tunnel seems pretty small.

I just changed the thermostat & gasket on my 67 Parisienne and it leaks from the thermostat housing when engine runs. I just tightened it to what I think is the safest I should. Any opinions for solutions?
