New member, need engine tips

welcome, im 18 too

Do you have a pipe bender? i made custom exhaust for my mav (302) i have long tube headers so it was pretty simple, i only had to make 1 bend on each to get it straight and i have them dump at the axel. mine was almost free. just found some 2.5inch pipes in my backyard.

 

Reading the posts again, I assume you bought the car with the engine already seized???

If that's the case, are you sure it's a 351, and not one of those deals that's what you were told???

 

I'm almost positive it's a 351 it's a real tight fit in there without the towers being shaved and no I bought it running, I left town for a few weeks and left it with my sister.... Got back to a seized car :/

 

Sorry to hear about the flood conditions you had the past week. My daughter lives in Boulder and although she had a lot of friends that sustained some real flood damage to their homes, luck would have it that my daughters house is on a slight hill so they had no water damage. I am going back with some other drag racers with families in the Boulder area and help with some of the rebuilding...................it is a mess!!!!!

 

Oh ya, it's crazy up here. My mom lives in coal creek and that's where my car is parked so there right by boulder, that's good to hear your daughter made it through without damage. My moms house has some damage to her barns and some to her driveway, but at least she has one still! Her neighbor has a 30ft wide by 20ft deep chunk missing from his! Hope everything is okay up by your daughter, you gonna swing by bandimere while your down here?

 

Have never been to Brandimere, but I'm not sure if I will have the time, if I can find the time I will.

 

If you have a 351w the front of the block will have two webs, one on either side of the distributor................looks like this.
