I`ll bet this one is hard to beat, my 62 is a one owner car:D :bar :v :m

93 or 94 will work fine. The 1970 LT1 is the last small block with any significant horsepower, rated at 370HP with 11-1 compression. After 1970, the 350`s quickly went downhill.:)

don`t use it on both sides, wheel bearing grease on the head side is all thats necessary. I`ts damn good stuff when used correctly. You use it on both sides, it will never come apart. Just in the valve cover and it can be used over and over.:grinshot

If you insist on permatex, use #1 it will harden up and the gasket will never be allowed to move because #2 never hardens up to prevent movement by accidently hitting a rocker arm when installing the overhead cover. ;) :beer :m

In your better shows, CLEAN wins, Dirt loses. Also keep it simple, aftermarket hoses and junk in the engine bay with wires running all over don`t cut it. Its a Vette show, not a hot rod. When its down to two or three in a class, the one with the least amount of things wrong will win. Painting...

I love to read the overheating problems, some of the bench racing answers can really get wild.:argue

The first problem with silicone is that it really never hardens to make the gasket stick as well as the 3M cement. Another problem is that it brakes off and goes into the oil pan plugging the oil pump screen and that is really dangerous. Thats two good important reasons, keep it out of the...

Glue the gasket to the valve cover with 3 M weatherstripping cement. Once this is done, the gasket is guaranteeded not to move by bumping rocker arms and springs ect. Merely use a light grease on the head side and you can use them over and over. :upthumbs NEVER use that blue junk or any kind...

3/4 reach plugs would be a "N" series plug. If the plug is tapered without a gasket, the "V" series is correct. :beer

Your really not too hard to predict, once I saw who wrote the reply. :m:D :upthumbs

Sell the Vette, keep the 70 Olds because it was the last year for horsepower at GM. After 1970 GM went backward on every model they produced, it really wasn`t their fault, the government demanded high temperature low horsepower engines for so called "CLEAN AIR". Now if the Vette was a "1970"...

:upthumbs :m great answer!

IH2LOSE, All my 4 lite vettes, 62, 63, and 68 Vettes do not have any problems. The stock headlight switch for the Vette can handle the power. But if you install them in the Caddie, watch, you`ll be back for two more for the Vette.;LOL ;LOL :Steer :m

Instant daylight, plus no one can ever figure them out. They don`t know what they are. :grinshot :upthumbs :m

If you had a high compression engine with a solid lifter cam, then a 750 could be appropriate, otherwise opt for a lower cfm carb and not over carb the engine.

I`m a solid lifter person for raw HP, but there is a very good hydraulic cam called the GM 151. This was used in the 60`s as a 350HP 327 CI engine. It works great in later model 350`s. A real good intake is one from the 70 Vette LT1 370HP engine which should fit under the Vette hood. :upthumbs :m

It is the same proceedure. And "ready to go" We don`t fire up our fuel engines and start adjusting valves. We tow it to the line, fire it up and press on the gas. :cool :upthumbs

NO. It`s for every engine, and done without the engine running and oil splashing all over. If it`s a solid, set the lash at the same position or hydraulic go to zero lash

Thats exactly what I was sending, we use the proceedure all the time. You can start anywhere and it`s simple. As ex starts to open adj the intake, and as the intake starts to close adj the exh. :upthumbs

I presume it`s a hydraulic cammed engine as GM didn`t like air and solid lifters together. If you found a loose rocker arm, it may be as simple as a broken valve spring. Rocker arms don`t tend to loosen up over the winter or in storage. But some BB chevys are hard on valve springs which is...
