Thanks for your input. Upholstery cost more than a grand. I'd be a fool
Had an emergency..... Have a 49 Plymouth I was restoring. Original 217, a full resto machine shop. Motor with all the parts has about $3700 in it,...
Never mind its for oil flow for the timing chain.
Question.......on this 217 motor is there a front seal? There's a huge gap that I don't believe should be filled with silicone.
I'm at $3700 in the motor thus far.......
Wait gasket seal on the threads?
Thanks
Do I thread lock or dip the head bolts in oil? I used some rust cleaner on them, they're bone dry.
Andydodge I made sure they were, thanks! They all were stamped
Its coming together!
All the machine work with 2 sleeves cost $830
They already cleans and did the work on the head, they were going to charge double to cut it down.
Got the block back. Time to put it together. Its 60 over.
I have a manual. The distributor I bought many people have used before me, no points.
What will it improve with the .06 cut?
Got my disc conversion brake brackets in. Parts list ordered!

Sucks.....block is at the machine shop. Gonna be a full rebuild. It was running before I took it out. Going with dual carb dual exhaust
Thanks! Going with the 15" Cragar smoothies. Probably a 3-4" whitewall tire.
Full rebuild kit cost me $1,250
I'll be picking the block up from the machine shop soon! Bored 60 over
Got the motor out, two bad cylinders, need shelves. Got the brake conversion kit and shock are relocator. seats at upholstery. I'm currently...
