Catdog, thanks for the info man! I tryed turning the fan, etc and it barely moved but it's freezing out and my hands were killing me already. I will buy a whole new gasket kit, change all the electrical, ignition coil, etc too. There is a lot of surface rust all over the valve cover and block, etc but not too bad. What about the radiator? If I get more powder coating jobs (which means more money) then I wan't to start fixing this engine up and get more performance out of it. I think it would be sweet the fix a inline 6 up to be kind of fast even though I know it won't be as fast as some small block or something.
Later on what can I do to beaf the tranny up to hold more power? Will the rear end handle it good enough? I won't drive the truck real rough or nothing, no strip, etc. I just wan't it to be able to sound loud, be fast for a inline 6 and smoke little ricers.
I am only 17 years old so of course I will wan't it to be loud, don't care about comfort, etc. heh. I can worry about all that when I am an old fart. :p
Thanks again!
