The intake is part of the head. I've since found out it's a 64 177. Thanks guys!
Exhaust manifold cast # is C0DE 9430-B Intake manifold is C5DE 6090-A. If this helps anyone, it just confuses me. Did the 144 have a blue block...
Well the engine is blue with the blue valve cover. So it's a 64 144? If that is the case would I still be ok with the 1909 ? I have not been able...

Leaving it overnight. The car runs but the oil is yohoo brown. It wasn't gradual either it just suddenly started knocking and smoking

Anybody?

Didn't know about it but will be going for sure.
My plates do not have that sticker. They are registered to the car and I got my title already and registration. No sticker.
Non-adjustable. I have torqwued them to spec and locked them in but they still clatter some. I have not checked the oil pressure other than my...
Here is where I am at with the 56. I have figured out the light tapping is my rocker arms/lifters. There is a heavier/deeper noise that I am...
Im still tracking the noise on my 316 Pontiac. Part is the rocker arms and I think the other is exhaust leak. Good luck!
Where can I get a replacement needle for my speedometer and how would I put it in the speedometer? The one in my 56 is not there at all. Just the...
Im guessing mine are generic kragen sold wires. I am running the crane cam electronic ignition. What wires would be best?
