I'm looking to take the motor out of my 76 next spring and just swap it out with a crate motor. Has anybody else put a crate motor in a 76 with the stock hood? I want one that will fit the stock hood clearance. Let me know! Thanks.

When my 350 was rebuilt in my '76 the fan shroud was damaged and it is now missing a portion at the top of the shroud. I can't seem to find the piece that has broken off so I can't just simply put it back on. Any ideas for a way to repair the shroud? Doesn't exactly have to be pretty at this...

Got some oil leaking bad out of the rear of my engine and I'm suspecting the rear main seal. It's the standard '76 350 engine so what does this mean in terms of the rear main? Is it a 1 or 2 piece and do I have to remove the tranny to replace it or can it be done with the oil pan removed? -Jake

Well, Friday was the first day that my '76 was up and running after a fresh engine rebuild. I knew it was too good to be true as I had tried to not get my hopes up throughout the entire rebuild and expected to take the block back out for whatever reason. After an afternoon of light driving my...

Hey guys (and girls), I have heard two different things when it comes to how you should treat your engine after a fresh rebuild. Some people say to baby it for the first five hundred miles or so..take it easy. Others say to drive it the way you will be driving it. Who is right?? -Jake

Okay, I made a post on here a few months back about possibly rebuilding the 350 in my '76 Vette. At the time I was indecisive about whether or not I really wanted to rebuild the engine. But now it turns out that I have coolant leaking into my heads (bare in mind that this engine had a rebuild 4...
