After about 150 miles of trouble free driving in the last couple of weeks, the Laurentian started to run hot last night. I drove about 20 miles without a problem and while waiting at a drive thru for ice cream for my son and I, the gauge climed from 1/2 to 3/4. I figured once I got moving it would calm down. No...

I need to know if the A/C cooler from a 70 Bonneville will fit into a 70 GTO. The rad supports are different, but they may use the same brackets? Also is there a place in Canada that carries A/C coolers or lines if it won't fit? Thanks

Here is a shot of the engine bay of "Project Beaumont El Camino". Can anyone ID that air cleaner? It looks like some of your BBC's but it has a chrome lid, no flappers on the spouts either.

I have the chance to buy a Ram-Jet 350 former crate engine with about 70K on it. It seems this particular block is supposed to be a relatively easy switch to older cars, literally drop it in and turn the key. Has anyone done or heard of one of these conversions? Any specific issues to look for? Thanks

I been wondering about this apparitus, located on the driver side inner fender well, since I bought my car. I can see that it's not hooked up to a vacuum source. Is it an old style pump of some sort or maybe cruise control ???

At macsleth's suggestion, I jacked up the car off rear suspension, and the drive shaft is still too long.. So I tried the yoke and shaft into the 350 turbo, still sitting on floor.

If a 350 turbo, and a Muncie 4 speed, are the same length, would it not be reasonable, to think the driveshaft out of either application ,would be the same.

Now that the engine in my Laurentian is apart awaiting a cam, I decided to check out the numbers. Sure enough, the 350 is the original motor (oooh, a numbers matching Laurentian!).
