    water bypass tube help

    That's good the inhibitors in your coolant are going to be your BFF. Only thing you have to worry about is what you said, the cost lol. FWIW please use the proper radiator hose clamps, e.g. TKO or spring loaded clamps never use the worm gear or even those pretty anodized hose fittings... they...

    Firewall pad ?

    Hey there! sorry to hear the waste of money you have going on. For sound deadener your better off making your own sheets. ThermoTec, KillMat, ResoNix, 3M sound deadner, or DynaMat. FYI Dynamat is hella expensive and doesn't provide heat reduction. You'll have to stack a layer something. check...

    Long Time coming 1973 Mach1 restomod

    I have to ask... is there a reason you didn't just rip out the cowl hat that is rotting away? You went through the trouble of opening up that cancer spot, but didn't really do much. I'm worried that future you is going to run into leaks again since the holes/pitting is so close to the hat butt...

    Starter Issues/Flexplate destroyed.

    1. The motor has started before with the new starter without any "initial" problems. 2. Ruling out hydro-lock: turned the engine with a breaker bar, rotates relatively smooth, I say relative because its a big mechanical machine takes a bit of force to rotate. 1/4 turns with/without serpentine...

    Loose Motor Mount Bolt; Mount to Block

    I'd be lying if i told you there ever was one and if it came out during bolt removal. II didn't try a longer bolt. I mentioned previously that all the bolts matched the originals in legnth thickness and pitch. So much for upgrading the bolts to throw out the old ones. ill try the longer...
