Another retired tool and die maker here. I love all the custom fitting and changes necessary to make the thing work. The extra tall carburetors and air cleaners bothers me. I wish Davin could have somehow fitted side-drafts or low profile air cleaners to reduce the overall height of the engine.

As a young graduate who went to school for design, I love what modern 3d printing technology has allowed people to make. I can go right now, and design, prototype, and test a part in less than a few hours. People tend to think tech makes us lazy, but I think it makes this stuff so much more accessible to people who 20-30 years ago would have been to intimidated to try.

Those coaxial cable stripper/crimper pliers do work great for this for sure! A quick tip for you Davin, and all readers of this post- instead of struggling with the rubber boots over the rubber jacket of the plug wires, spray a little windex glass cleaner on them first. It eliminates the friction between them and does not harm the wires or the boots. It evaporates away in short order too without leaving a trace of anything behind like a silicone spray, or grease does. I'm an electrician and do this when routing cables thru grommets in switchgear cabinets and equipment. That rubber on rubber struggle is like trying to pull bubblegum out of your hair in 1 piece.

Real refreshing to see someone take on that almost 800 lb straight eight. The heat rising up from the headers is most likely gonna be a fuel percolation problem waiting to happen what with no heat shield between the two manifolds. Perhaps this aluminum intake will dissipate heat better than the factory cast iron setup but Buick factory originally had a fairly good sized wide heat plate shield at the base of the carb to help dissipate soaking convection heat rising up to deal with potential vapor lock issues.

I thought the Chevy 265 had a canister style oil filter that had a single bolt that ran up through the filter housing (rather than down like this model) and was in the same location as the spin on style on later Small Block Chevy’s. I think I remember them being a mess to change because the bolt came up from the bottom, it’s been along time ago though!

@@Hoaxer51 First 265's in 1955 had the after market filters like this one. Canister filter was one of the tweaks that came with GM improving their small block design. Side note, remember an old farm truck with a cartridge filter where we just knocked the cardboard roll out of a cheap roll of toilet paper for the filter.
