    Engine broke in?

    Thanks for all the input. Changed out the oil and filter. Took the filter to the machine shop that bored and decked the block, installed cam bearings and freeze plugs, and they took the filter apart. The Wix filter was very clean, not much metal at all. Just what you would expect to see for a...

    Engine broke in?

    I went to look at the Driven website and they recommend changing the break-in oil at no more than 300 miles. I have seen/heard different times or miles for this first change, so glad you made me look. Thanks much!

    Engine broke in?

    I used Driven 10W-40 break-in oil, Driven grease, and Driven lube for the initial break-in with a Wix filter. I now have Driven GP-1 10W-40 and another Wix filter ready to go in. Both oils have the levels of zinc preferred for the old school muscle car motors. I am running hydraulic lifters, so...

    Engine broke in?

    Just put 300 miles on the new motor rebuild. Mostly to car shows and wineries, lol. She sounds and runs GREAT. Hit the 4 barrel for the first time, dang she scoots! Time for a oil and filter change, or do I wait for 500 miles?

    FOR SALE 273 adjustable rocker arms, shafts, spacers, and bolts

    I went with Harland Sharp, so I will be finding these a new home. Anyone interested? Is $300 plus shipping acceptable? The shafts are in perfect condition. I'll take photos of them separately if you are interested.

    Yep. From 327+.30 to 340+.30. Two of the best small blocks ever, IMO. And from Pennsylvania to Idaho.

    Another fender tag validity question

    If the fender tag is legit and he thinks he would get more money selling it with a matching engine, sure. If he likes a big block, and does not want to sell it, leave it in. Looking at that fender tag in near PERFECT condition, I'd say it may be a re-pop. As far as any of the options listed that...

    Agree with you in regards to the Mancini HD springs. No difference from my original leaf springs. Ugh.

    New rear springs

They were to go on another guys E-Body but Owner went another direction. Anyway, not much difference in ride height, and I really do not...
