Re: [Chevelle-list] Timing cover pan gasket

[bob howard]

John: I just replaced one on a 350 engine we built. I took all the pan bolts
out,and it allowed the pan to drop about 1 inch to 1 1/2 in front.
I then put the new gasket in and put the bolts back in starting at the front
and working to the back. I had a chrome housing the had a small bend in it 
to the outside and caused mine to leak.Hope this helps

---Original Message---
 

From: The Chevelle Mailing List
 
It pretty much depends on your budget as always,Bob. A good 350 block (either two or four bolt),10:1 compression pistons,a pair of 64 or 66cc heads( I like the AFR 180's or 195's), hydraulic roller cam with 225-240 degree duration @ .050 with around .525 lift and 110 centers, Edelbrock Performer RPM or Airgap intake, 670-770 Avenger Holley carb, 1 3/4" headers with free-flowing 2.5" mandrel bent exhaust system,and a good electronic ignition like a Mallory or MSD should get you in the 400hp/400tq range.
Just my opinion but if it were my car,I would build a 383,instead. These cars are heavy and need the extra torque. Cost will be about the same.

Some news...
 
I'm happy to say that the long awaited 1964-67 El Camino cab moldings are
finally here. According to the rules of how much percentage markup you need
to make in order for a business to make sense, I should price them at about
$275-ish for the set (4 pcs), but I will sell them to list members for $250
(plus shipping and tax if applicable) for a limited time. If you are
interested, let me know privately.
 
Thanks,
John Nasta
 
p.s. The 4 pieces are also available separately (top left, top right, side
left, side right).

Ive watched and learned from you all about gears and tire size and trannys. Ive got 3.08s and a 350 tranny with 235 70 14s. what does a 200r4 usually cost and what is needed to change it out? Im wanting the "snap" and some gas mileage when I take it to the shows.
The engine is a stout 350 . Im open to all ideas. The 373's sound right , but i wonder about what it might take to do the 200r4.?

Bob, it really depends on how you plan to use the engine.  If doing a lot of wide open throttle blasts then you need 650 or better.  All with vacuum secondaries due to automatic trans.  Otherwise the 600 will most likely give you great response on street and will perform quite well.  Did you put the 78 jets in the primary or the secondary?  Way too big for primary.  Probably 71's would be as big as needed.  Also, where you live ( altitude) will have some say in all this.  John

Sorry to disagree but peks is PEX (cross-linked polyethylene). 1 inch in 10 feet is less than 1/8 inch per foot. National Standards (IAMPO OR UPC ) for horizontal drain pipe is 1/4 inch per foot (2 %  slope). 3 inch line or larger can be installed @ 1/8 inch per foot( 1% slope) if the Authority Having Jurisdiction first gives approval. 8 inch line and above can be embedded  @ 1/16 inch per foot. Even if you do not get a permit at least install it to code. One day you may want to sell the property and may find out a home inspection turns up illegal work.

  My garage project has been on hold for a while, but I finally have footers dug  .    My wife suggested that I install a bathroom.   I was all for it til I got 3 bids that were way more than  I could afford ( and more than I thought reasonable).    Today I got 2 comparably reasonable estimates ( is $2600 reasonable?) for a comode, utility sink and water & sewer connections.  
 
  $2600 otherwise spent would get me a  4-post lift or LS1 for the camaro. I could improvise a sink install and could live without the comode.   So for the long term is the bathroom a good investment?

 Hi Craig:  I grew up in the 60's & I can relate to what you said.  Would I still like to have my L-79 SS from 1965?  Of course I would but it's long gone to the crusher.  Sold it in 74 after the Army & during my first marriage.  Had no place to keep it anyway & the last thing on my mind was owning a 40 year old car in 2005.  Aftermarket was the way back then.  Either performance or looks, and most of the time you sold what you took off.  Never occurred to us to save for numbers matching in the future.  The number of people that are original owners of these muscle machines are few & far between.  I wish my Mom had a house & garage where I could have stored mine for 30 years.  Even as a rustbucket it would have been worth a fortune today as an oringinal L-79.  You don't even want to know about the 58-59 Baseball card collection I sold for $10.  Bought a tank of gas & went out on a date.  Today I own my 4th 65 SS and every time I drive it, it makes me smile.  No numbers matching anything but some of the sheetmetal.  No muncie shifter and no chalk marks anywhere.  Close the hood & it looks like the 60's.  A lot of shine and custom wheels.  Not much stock under the hood either and the flowmasters are like music.  Nothing stuffy about me or my car and people let me know they approve all the time.  I admire and respect the stockers and the people that build them and if I did have that first 65, I'm afraid it would have to be a trailer queen today.  Personally, I want to drive, have fun and leave the numbers to the purists.  Let them worry about the right screws, bolts, and chalk marks.  If it's your car you do whatever makes you smile whether that's going for 1000 points, pro street or in between!!  And NEVER condemn those that don't share your views.  To each his own.  That's one of the beauty's of this hobby.  The flexibi lty to be yourself!

Well said Craig. I too grew up in the '70's doing as you said, except I was a Ford man back then . As I "restore" my 66, my plans are to go original within reason - the body and interior will be original, but I will make safety and performance upgrades. And like you, if I use after market parts, I will keep the original parts for the next guy or gal, if I ever sell this thing of course...

I don't know about anyone else, but I grew up in the muscle car era - had a '66 GTO in high school and worked at a local factory as a press operator to pay for it. The FIRST thing that happened to that car was ET mags. Then headers and 'vette exhaust under the door. Then a Holley 850 double because my buddy's Z28 spanked me. Then a Hurst shifter. I have no idea what happened to the original parts. That was muscle car era hotrodding. Hotrodding 32 Fords was a whole other thing but with muscle cars it was all about exhaust, cams, wheels, carbs and once in a while some serious dude would port the heads - and with cast iron, that was no mean potatoes -  or stroke & bore. Only the south end greasers did that stuff...not us north end frat boys - and they cleaned our clocks at the local 1/4 every Saturday night.
 
Today, muscle cars are about getting the chalk marks correct on the rear end diff and sourcing NOS bias ply tires. I'm sorry, but I don't really get that. I mean, I respect it and I respect the meticulous attention to detail, etc., but it so not me. For years, I didn't even know how to tell if the block matched the chassis - I didn't know or think it was important. When I got my Chevelle years ago, as soon as I had the money, off came the heads and on went aluminum...and a cam and carb and wheels with some swingin' KDW tires. Oh yeah, and headers and xpipe and Flowmasters and lower springs and a Mallory and the A/C is out in the shed. Now it's MY car. It sounds, looks, and drives like the nasty old girl she is. It ain

Hi Jim,
 
I am not a Camaro aficionado, but what do you mean by RS SS 350 5 sp? I always thought that the RS was a small block (350) and the SS was a big block, the same way that the "sister car" (Firebird) had a Formula (350) and a Trans Am (400).
 
I'm not claiming to know the answer nut I am curious about the "RS SS" thing. I like those first gen Camaros and would buy a convertible if I could. Now you can buy basically all of the body parts too, and even a jig for aligning the parts, so you can basically build one from scratch. Pretty cool.

The main negative feature of a DZ302 engine is their lack of low end torque and corresponding need for steep gearing. My 69 Z/28 had 4.10 cogs and still could have used something shorter like 4.56's or 4.88's. The standard ratio in those cars was a 3.73 and they ran like a dog with them. Unless you plan on using a five or six speed trans,I would build something bigger.

Basically all you need is a small jornal 327 block, a 283 crank , 302 spec pistons (or the correct hieght if you go longer rods) and double hump fuelie 2.02 heads w/accesory bolt holes. A reproduction ''stock'' cam is on the market I am sure, but I would lean toward a modern solid lifter cam that would be worth way more power. 

 

Although pricey, the cross ram manifold makes those engines stand out. Even though Holleys may be original, I would consider a pair of 500 cfm AFB's.

 

 I guess it depends on if you want a clone original or to build one that makes big power (but then you might as well build a long rod 383 and use the cross ram on it!) .

Basically all you need is a small jornal 327 block, a 283 crank , 302 spec pistons (or the correct hieght if you go longer rods) and double hump fuelie 2.02 heads w/accesory bolt holes. A reproduction ''stock'' cam is on the market I am sure, but I would lean toward a modern solid lifter cam that would be worth way more power.

  ACES membership is well worth the cost.   There are many ACES
affiliated local clubs, some more active than others.   Most are
listed here: http://links.chevelles.net/links/Clubs/   And even if
there isn't anything local,  you'll enjoy the Bi-Monthly magazine.
 
There are 2 chevelle regional shows close to you in the next 2 months.
  The Kansas City show is an ACES regional and the Wichita show is
organized by the Midwest Council of Chevelle clubs.   You'll enjoy
either or both.

Still sore and tender,Bob. As for finding a 64-65 10 bolt axle,that might be a little more difficult than finding one for a 66-67 or 68-72.
Have you looked on Team Chevelle's classifieds? Can you still get one from your local parts store?

Hi,
 The AFB is easier to tune with metering rods and or springs that take about 30 seconds to remove with out taking the carb apart. And if you do have to change jets the top comes off and the fuel stays in the bowls which is a lot less messy. And you don't have to worry about leaks. I think the secondary side is more responsive too. They don't run a power valve either so you won't have to worry about it blowing out.

Adding a posi is possible just by installing a limited-slip differential. Eaton makes a good one. However,your 3.08 ring & pinion will need their clearances re-done when the posi unit is added.

Congrats on finding your dream.   I'm sure that there are venders who
specialize in date coded blocks.   You probably need to do a web
search to find some. Tromping around swap meets you may also
stumble acrossed the correct block.   Also are you a member of ACES?
Every issue there are classified ads in the back and I frequently see
listings for dated blocks.   If you have time, I'd try the swap meet
route first, if for nothing more than to save some cash.   Seems like
you would have the patience (36 years worth) to look around.
 
  And welcome to the list.You missed our recent threads on
occupation & location, so where are you & what do you do?   We are a
varied group.

He is wanting to build a 34 chevy coupe,and needs the wood interior frame work . He thinks that there is a company out there that is making it out of metal now. Anyone have any idea where he could find such a thing??
He is an old drag racier from the early 50's and want to build this car he has had since he was a kid. He has helped me with questions and had most of the answers when i needed them instead of taking up space here (about engines)
Thanks for the help in advance.

Thanks but no.  Still got mine - somewhere - but I think my next " thing " might be a 32 Roadster.  No modern nothing - just engine, body, frame, and wheels.  Less to screw with.    Maybe a T-bucket.  One of my early ( late 50's early 60's or so ) was driving a bucket listening to the Walk Don't Run by the Ventures.  Gotta do that someday.

When's the last time you changed the driveshaft u-joints? When they go bad,they will shake the vehicle as you describe.

I get really hairy vibrations in the car at approx 80 kmh (50mph?)
If I give the car a bit of gas & keep the engine working/pulling it dissapears
at speeds below the one mentioned above.
But if I don't let the engine/drivetrain work enough or if the speed get's higher
it feels like my dental work's going to fall out :-(
 
It's like sitting in a sub-woofer, Everything's vvvrrrtttiiinnnggg.
Even the air in the cupé!
 
Any suggestions?
 
I'm planning to have my drive shaft balanced, could that be it?
 
Best regards

I'll certainly try to do that,Bob. Would be great to meet you. I'm hoping it will be ready by Thursday or Friday. 
Having to go straight days because of my injury is going to cause me problems with meeting the car's work schedule,though.

I'm 51 years old. Have crashed twice roadracing motorcycles at over 100mph
with nothing but bruises. Competitive motocrosser and enduro rider for many
years without anything other than a bruise & sprain or two. Fell off a house
once and landed on my side. That got me a few cracked ribs. Don't remember
the medical term for the broken bone but I think it's the one connecting the
ankle to the foot,right above the heel.
My 69 El Camino has a Viper T56 six speed. It's at Steve Cook's shop in
Oklahoma City right now,getting a full Air Ride system installed. Next
week,it's scheduled for a six-point rollbar and leather interior. Week after
that,the Vintage Air Frontrunner and Gen-II a/c install. Somewhere in that
timeframe a new exhaust system is needed,too.
Guess I'll find out soon enough if I'll be able to drive a manual trans car
with a broken foot.

Hi,

I am finishing the restoration of a 70 SS and had to replace the seat belts.  John Spence in Virginia 804.732.4583 did the belts and he did an excellent job at a reasonable price.
 
You might want to give him a call.

Ebay is probably going to be the cheapest, but if you want other places to buy them email me I have a whole list of companies that carry fastener kits for probably the entire car I can send you.
