so it looks like there iisnt another tire size between 255 60 15 and 275 60 15. So I guess 245 60 15's front 255 60 15's back??? What is the difference in tread width between front and rear? Will this setup look good? I really want bigger in the back.

THis is for stock steel 7" rims with hub caps.  Will 275/60/15's fit on the back under the fender wells?  If not what is the max size I can go with?    275/60/15 Will 255/60/15's fit on the front without rubbing?  If not what is the max size I can go with? 255/60/15

"I can't see someone putting odd mismatched heads on...……….. can I?" I hope you're right!

Thanks Don!  I will use this and see what I cope up with!

I'm hoping hearing it run will reinvigorate me. I just dont have another 10 year project in me! My 71 vette took 10 years and I lost interest in it when it was 90% done. I'm still feeling the ich for a used 2018 GT premium. ?

If I pull the other valve cover would that date code tell me if I have a matched set of heads or would I need to pull the other head off and look up under it to tell? Im not pulling the other head just to look for a part number but it would be good to know if they were matched. It would also...

Here's the date and a better shot of the pistons. Also, There doesnt appear to be anything stamped on the back of the block.

What are the torque specs for head bolts? What do you torque the rocker arms down to? Do you apply etc to both sides of the Turkey pan and does it go down first then the gaskets then the intake?

I want to get larger tires in the rear than in the front.  What is the largest tire I can fit on a factory 8" rim in the rear that will stay under the fender lip? What is the largest tire I can fit on a factory 8" rim in the front that wont rub? What brand would you recommend for raised white...

Pulled the add this morning. I worked on the car last night. Had to pull the head because of a blown head gasket. (See thread in engine build section). I did enjoy working on it last night but I was a little lonely. Would have been nice to have a buddy or 2 and a few beers while I was doing...

Thanks Geoff!

Thanks! I will check the VIN tonight. So if the are dished pistons with 70-71 closed chambered heads what kind of compression might I be looking at?

Are these the intake and head gaskets that I need?  351c-4v.. Supposed to be a 1972 Q code but looking like the heads might indicate an M code 70-71. Intake - FEL-PRO MS96012 https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php...&jsn=10527 Head gasket kit - FEL-PRO FS8347PT...

I didn't get a chance to get back out in the garage and look at the date code last night.  I will do it this evening and post a pic. ::thumb::

Here are pics of the pistons and blown head gasket.  You can see where the #8 cylinder is cleaner than the rest.  It looks like both 7 and 8 were getting water.   Can you tell by the pic what pistons I have?  They appear to be flat top single valve relief. Btw, that's not metal shavings it is...

How do I tell what head gasket I need?

Turns out I had a blown hand gasket.  My car is supposed to be a Q code 4v.  Is that what these heads are ?  Closed chambers? Preferred head?

Oh and supposedly my car is a 1 of 1 with the options and color. Not sure if that means anything to its value. Kind of an odd combo deluxe white interior gauge package No console No fold down rear seat Has A\C Has staggered rear shocks but no rear sway bar Manual brakes but discs in the...

Thanks guys! The quarters, wheel housings and "top-hats" are all rust free. I have some filler in the passenger door and the front left fender needs to be replaced. Maybe I will just keep this and save up some cash for a DP on a used 2018 in a few months. btw, the boat in the pic isn't mine...
