What stock exhaust manifolds (or doorman) will fit g body LS swap? and what power steering pulley# will clear steering box with the truck engine assembly swapped in?
@SlowCarFix27 күн бұрын
This car has headers. On my '57 truck I used stock manifolds and cut and re-welded them. The Pulley, I can't remember the part number off the top of my head, but I know I have told other people what the part number and the belt number are, so you could dig through the comments. It's a dorman part. Plastic pulley, gives 3/8" clearance to the steering box with everything else being stock and a/c delete.

I put an engine from a wrecked 65 Corvair Monza (140hp)into a 1965 Corsa. Did the job at the back of a dealers lot in Thompson Manitoba in 1971.No jack, bits of wood, on my back on the asphalt, most of the time. It took me a while. It ran fine, until I let it go when I got married and was dirt poor. Are there any sig nificant differences between the 65 and 66 model years? Loved the way the car handled, 80 mph going sideways on a gravel road northern Manitoba. Very manageable, Michelin tires. Loved that car. Beautiful lines. Heating sucked. Like your site, hope to see more on this awesome car.

I use to own a 60 700 4 door with the P/G & it never leaked as well. Love your garage set up it does make the job allot easier. I have no thoughts on what could be causing the leak still on your 64, & I read your replies to a few comments; I was thinking that the seal hasn't soften up enough, But you've driven it a couple of hundred miles so the seal should be broke in.

I have some bad tranny leaks in my 64 that I can only ignore for so long. Any recommendations on a jack or stand to use when pulling the power train? I’ve got nada and am not sure what I need.
@SlowCarFixАй бұрын
Check to make sure that you actually need to pull the power train. If it's a PG, there's only one spot it can leak that requires you to pull the power train. I've done it many times on tall jack stands, you just need to make sure the whole car is high enough that you can get the engine out from under the air grill. There are lots of attachements you can get to go on a regular floor jack. I used to use a motorcycle jack and a block of wood.
