« on: October 12, 2010, 10:50:25 PM »

Hi there,

I have googled this site for topics relating to my subject and also have read the 68 service manual.

I have the back up light switch and accesories to mount on my M20.

Could someone post a picture of exactly how the switch is mounted please.

Thank you.

General Discussion / 68 big block a/c

« on: October 12, 2010, 10:49:06 PM »

Hi there,

Sadly, the wiring was been removed from the selector switch in the dash through the fire wall and out to the engine bay.

I have the correct wiring set up now and want to install it.

It looks like a big job to hook up the wiring to the blower fan.

Im hoping someone has a trick up there sleave, or do i have to remove fender/inner wheel well???

Cheers.

Hi there,

I have a 68 date code correct 396, 325hp engine i would like to rebuild.

What special features would make the engine as correct as possible paint colours, gaskets, chroming etc.

I would like the engine to look as though it left the factory 42 years ago.

Cheers for the advice there. Sadly the block is not original to the car.

Yep new pistons.

I have a clear idea of what is required for a rebuild. Im hoping some more information could be supplied as exactly what steps are required at what stage..

Cheers

Restoration / 396, 325hp engine rebuild.

« on: June 22, 2010, 03:07:24 AM »

Hi there,

Ok i would like to get a 396 325hp engine stripped down and rebuilt. Transmission is a M20 (wide ratio) and Differential 3.07

My ego is kicking in a little now so i would like to have a new cam installed (350hp). The rest of the engine i would like to keep to factory spec's.

Could i get some advice/experience of the process involved in stripping down and rebuilding a engine e.g acid bath, honed, blue printed etc.

I would really like to get this rebuild done correctly and professionally without missing a stage.

Your comments will be very much appreciated.

Cheers
