I hate exhaust leaks - and I swear by these
I get occasional passenger side smoke - thought maybe I had an exhaust valve seal going... but no oil in any of the ports or manifold...
top is left side, bottom right side
no oil on that either... but you can see how the driver's side is having trouble sealing - I've already replaced that one once and it's already gone
tomorrow's fight.... markers and signals.... when the lights are on, signals don't work but unplug the front and the rears do work

an isky 292/.595/108 flat tappet hydraulic, 10.5-1 pistons, "290" or "291" heads
(iron /oval port / big valve/ stamped "hi perf pass:...) with a holland tunnel port job,
2" or larger primary headers and either a 930 on a rpm or a "c-66-o" with dual
750s and 2" thick 4 hole spacers, or a tunnel ram + twin 750s and a roller
valvetrain should get you +550hp at 7000rpm, and +550ftlb from 2600-6500rpm.
especially if you paint it pink...
plus it should be as reliable as a rock....Last edited by fatguyzinc; May 7, 2021, 06:24 PM.

I have been fighting the front lights, this is, I give up
they really fit poorly, but at the moment... I couldn't care less
onto exhaust
lay out circles
let's try an air die
make a funnel
then forever fuss with it
ah delrin
press
eventually you say "can't see it, don't care"
if this works, I'll make a delrin die so I simply press the shape into the material.

narrowing in on refining..... this case, front signals
now signals AND markers work (winning)
now onto the cooling
put baby powder on the seal and see what hits
not much
easy enough to fix
define the holes
some CAD templates
now to clamp it in a way that the bonding epoxy doesn't make opening the hood an aggrevation
Tomorrow I'll take the tape off, clean it up then paint the blocks. the number one way to get cooling is to force the air through the radiator at speed... at this time, it's fine if I'm not pushing it hard, but if I push it for any time it starts to get warm...
tomorrow also.... horn.... because it's one pointDoing it all wrong since 1966

with this I'm ready.
first, a final shot of the hood
then worked on the horn. I need to space the button out further, but at this point there several problems with the system and honestly... I have better things to do then get a horn point. If you don't hear the side pipes the god help you
