Thank you gentlemen. I had just picked up that very book when I decided to check for responses. Dave

Restoration / Engine lift brackets
« on: May 27, 2007, 09:30:50 PM »
Does anyone have a correct photo of the engine lift brackets on the intake of a 69 327. I assume all SB cars sould be the same. Why do you never see these on a "restored" car? I know this engine had them because they were in the same bag as all other intake hardware and they have two special bolts while missing two normal intake bolts. Dave

Thanks John. It all goes back to paying attention to the book. Dave

So am I correct to assume that any bolt from original engine build that had to be removed would then become a black accessory bolt? Specifically the two intake bolts that hold the upper A/C bracket? Dave

Restoration / Overspray on A/C bracket?
« on: January 11, 2007, 06:12:35 PM »
Does anybody know of a more precise engine assembly order than Colvin's "By the numbers". 1969 Flint 327 with A/C rear compressor bracket to intake has orange overspray on it and I'm nearly sure it is original. Does this mean all of these brackets were installed prior to engine paint? Come to think of it one of the power steering pump brackets is the same story. Dave

Which overdrive ratio did you order (.82 or .64)? Which 502 is it? Dave

Check this out! www.5speedtransmissions.com/index.html Click on the 5 speed section on the left and select GM TKO package. By the time you break a couple of Muncies this will seem not so unreasonable. Also study the comparison to the Richmonds. I've personally seen a couple of these things in action. That TKO 600 is impressive and also has a couple of options for overdrive ratio. Dave

Thanks for the address plug. I didn't remember it, but this place was actually the first and only place to get me a neutral safety switch for my SS396 Nova several years ago. I had forgotten all about them until last week. Once again they came through where the others failed. Dave

Rich--Thanks for the lookout. I needed the 1100843 from H68. Strangely enough i just got a call today saying that I got lucky. Tip of the hat to Classic Muscle in North Carolina. Not cheap, but when they've got it and you want it...... Dave

Still looking, any ideas on a supplier? Rick's was a big fat NO, but I thank them for trying. Dave

Restoration / Water pump cast date
« on: May 10, 2006, 08:10:24 PM »
I have a 327 build date 0816 of 1968. Looking for a cast date match water pump. I found a June water pump, is this too early? The reason I think this is acceptable is that this was a new for 1969 water pump and this car is very early production (8D). Any and all input is greatly appreciated. Dave

Okay, try this one: www.camaros.org/rpo23feb00.pdf. scroll down to Z21 and it gives you a description, count and original cost per model year. Dave
