Thanks! So I got another one for ya, this time about the throw out bearing retainer... is there a seal for this thing?!? It doesn't seem to have room for one, but how the heck does it keep oil in? There are threads in the tube, maybe they fling the oil back in, and you just never park...

The engine is a 69', cloyes P/N was 9-1135. No heat riser, went the satanic route and stuffed the intake with foil and half a tube of red rtv.

Parts list first, you get any of these anywhere: Processor: Arduino Nano, or whatever compatable arduino board you wanna use Display: 12864 128x64 LCD with blue backlight Temp sensor: DS18B20 I2C sensor, they were cheap Oil pressure sensor: 0-100psi Stainless pressure transducer from the...

I would also like to state how expensive 4 in 1 gauge clusters are, and how much of a cheap-*** I can be. I'm doing my own digital cluster with and arduino nano and lcd display, its going into the original bezel and glass. Also gonna run the radiator fan control here too, manual and auto...

Well, things have changed dramatically since the last post. Motor is just about done with assembly, gonna mock up exhaust next. I did have an issue with the new timing chain set, it is the double roller chain from coyles, and it seems to be different than the factory sprocket as it hit the...

Well, fingies crossed, I go get the machined block and heads today! I do have a question about sealing up that exhaust passage through the intake though... are there any real performance/reliability concerns I should know about? What is the preferred method for sealing that port off? I don't...

Sweet, thank you for all the info! The casting number on the flywheel reads C5AE-E, and 4B25. I thought it might be possible to replace the ring gear, how difficult would that be? Can't say I've ever had to tackle that. Id give the teeth about 25% life so, its def gonna need to be replaced...

serial: P35JOH19169 - O could be a zero, no hash through it so idk model: P352 date 09L trans n axle: G max gvw: 8000lbs hp: 126 (lol) then theres 4196 after that for DSO or something Thank you kind sir!

The title calls out 1960, and there is two plates but one of them is pretty much illegible. Here's a picture of the one I can make the numbers out on, I'll get a better picture later though.

Well guys, after a few years of asking, my grandma gave me great-grandad's old bread truck. I believe the frame is a 1 ton, and the body is from Ward, a coach fitter out of New York. Grandpa had some fun with it, and swapped the straight-six out with a 351w, code C9OE-6015. The engine is out...

Well the plate is back on, here is a picture of the forbidden portion of the intake. More to come!

Okidoke, thank you! I'll drill out the rivets and get that plate back on :)

Hey ya'll, so I'm rebuilding my grandad's old 69' 351W, and just popped the intake off. Riveted to the bottom of the intake is stamped steel plate with hole in it (for drainage I assume). As I'm trying to clean the intake out, I keep getting big chunks of carbon crap out from under that plate...
