Nice car. What are your plans for it?

If you get under a car that is not on jack stand, you are just asking for it. My jack let go for not reason, lowered it compeletly and it worked fine ever since. I still don't trust it. Use Jack stands, and the Jack as a back up.

Pic from last summer and a pic of the motor which will be going back in this weekend or next.

Thanks John!!! :beer

Below is a picture of the motor mounts that were in my car when I pulled the motor. I’m not sure if they are factory correct or generic replacements. Anyone know? '63 340HP

Another option is to go with an electronic conversion kit. It eliminates the points. I installed it in my car. Really easy to do. http://store.summitracing.com/default.asp?target=partdetail.asp&part=PNX%2D91181

I cleaned them up in my blast media cabinet using glass bead then washed them down with soap and water. I was really surprised how good they look. Perfectly clean with a satin like finish to them. I used the same clean-up method on the intake too. :cool

I think I saw that car at Carlisle. It was definitely rough. Too bad I forgot how much he was asking then.

Now that CAC is back up and running I can post some pictures of my progress with the engine rebuild. I’m just waiting on a few parts to button it up. The oil pump I ordered did not fit the stock oil pan so that’s on its way. Also, the ARP rocker arm studs did not allow enough clearance with the...

Is it possible the oil is coming from someplace other then the plug? I had a leak at the back of the intake manifold. The oil ran down the block, and ended up dripping from the oil pan plug. At first I thought it was the rear main seal, but I change the seal and the leak was still present. I...

I’m partial to red with black int., but black ex. with red int. is really nice. I don’t think I’ve seen a Blue ex. with red int. If anyone has a pic, post it. I’d like to see.

$43,200 for a ’63 NOM vert. I’m liking the sound of that.

One of my favorites….If you couldn’t tell.

If it is that easy I will look into doing it my self. Where can I get a rebuild kit and what is included in it?

Looks like I am going to rebuild my AFB carburetor. Who do you recommend and how much will it cost?

Does anyone know the stock volume of the 461 heads? My guess is between 62-65cc.

How much should machine work cost? Deck the block (Its not the original block) Line Hone Mains Hone Cylinders Grind Crank – Mains and Rods

According to the 1963 Corvette Shop Manual the compression specification for the ’63 340HP motor is 11.25:1. What kind of octane fuel was readily available back then? 110 octane? Or did most people just retard the timing?

I had a chatter and slipping problem with my clutch. My clutch pedal was very stiff. The problem may have stemmed from an oil leak that started at the rear of the intake manifold. Oil ran down the back of the block and found its way into the bell housing. Overall the clutch was shot. I’m sure it...

Is there a general rule on compression? What is the highest I can go on 93 Octane? There must be some point of diminishing returns.
