Hello everyone, I haven't been on in a few just finished my masters and now I can focus on my car again. As a graduation present I had a 383 built for my 327/210 car. I'm trying to get all my little ducks in row before I tear into this project and would appreciate any and all feedback you can offer.
?1 - I'm 98.9% sure the 69 350 block will bolt in without any weirdness to where my 327 bolts down is this correct?
- If not - what must I do?
?2 - I'm pulling the glide and shipping it off to be 6 million dollar manned - bigger stronger all that happiness. I have never removed an engine or transmission so any tips anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated. Like do I just unbolt the tranny from the block?? etc...
?3 - I'm replacing the heater core on the non/ac car with a new one from Summit (since I'm getting a new radiator & motor) - Never torn into a heater box either - any tips?
?4 - Also completely re-wiring the car with a new painless wiring harness and the add on harness for my RS options - any thoughts/tips/hints/prayers for this evolution?
?5 - How in the world do you determine what speed TQ convertor you need?? I've read all kinds of craziness and I know I just have to call a few manufacturers but I want to understand myself.
?6 - Any service or maintenance you would suggest while I have the car torn apart that I can do that will be preventative in nature? driveshaft, rear end? springs, shocks?
?7 - Since I'm going to be starting this soon (like next weekend) I would like to leave #7 open for more questions I'm sure are going to pop up
Thank you in advance!
Ivan
