Yes as long as you use the ball joint reamer tool s10 Or g-body brakes will work This is a good setup for budget build or a low rider

@realsteelmotorcars289425 күн бұрын
@8luggarage not at all, temperature 190 after 20 minutes on and off freeway, hot summer weather. I drilled out the block for the water pump bypass 5/16" hole 2 3/16" in the t-stat and a 5/8" bypass hose going to the intake...it might be overkill, but it runs cool.

Have you heard anything about the timing set rubbing the old style timing cover when adding a double roller timing chain set to the vortec? I had to tap on the inside of the cover so it would clear
@realsteelmotorcars289427 күн бұрын
@8luggarage This was a budget build, The only thing I spent $ On was the ram jet GM Camshaft that being said, I went with a single timing chain. That's good to know, I've heard stories about double timing chains hitting the cover. Maybe it best to go single. BTW, check out the installed video I just uploaded

Replacing the heater core on my 65 Pontiac Catalina. I completely agree with not necessary to remove the engine compartment cover. It’s necessary to remove the 5 nuts that sandwich the interior cover through the firewall with the engine compartment cover. Also agree that the inner wheel well needs to be moved to gain access to the fifth nut, but I have my inner wheel well completely unbolted and cannot seem to get it to drop out like I see yours in the video. What’s the secret?

Definitely drill the holes in the t-stat. Check out my heater hose bypass video That is an external bypass, kzbin.info/www/bejne/lanGiaasntKgabssi=MBZfDDIjKtlIy1QR If you are planning on blocking off the The holes going to the heater hoses you can drill about 6 x 3/16 Holes in the t-stat. What is the block going in ? Do you want the heater to work? If so, do you have a heater control valve on your heater hose?

I'm sure once you install the 200r4 transmission in your Camero, you will see that the linkage concern is not that difficult to figure out, Keep in mind that the length of the rod in-between levers will be the same as the original. You just need to replace the lever at the transmission. Chevy nova design is close to what you got going, I did see a kit for nova 200r4 swap linkage online, and I would have run with it Good luck 👍
