Don,
I have 2 of the 41 and 2 (actualy 3)of the oilbath cleaners. I want to use the oilbath pots because of the good cleaning performance but they come verry close together and I´m not sure if they clear the hood.
I try to do it verry old school. I painted the engine with a brush instead of a spray can, let some dings and dents in the valve cover where they are and so on. The guys in those good old days did`nt have show quality shine and chrome.
And I don`t want a trailer queen.
Old memmories huh? Have you checked out my 2 links?
www.TheSavoy.de and
www.Hotheadseast.com This will probably bring back a whole bunch of memmories
All those pictures are from the last view years (just because poeple always ask if they are old)
V8 F...head? No I don`t think so. I stay in line
Catdog:
I asked manny guys and got many answers.
To make a long storry short: I orderd a set of short lifters with that anulus in the middle that look like hydros at Stovebolt Co.
So I can ditch that oil line inside the side cover and keep the long pushrods. .
Seems that this engine was a exchange motor and lots of guys modified it several times.
