The time has come... 440 freshen for B-body

Hey mopekid,

I'd knock out all the coreplugs in the block and replace em with marine grade brass core plugs, then you eont have any coolant leaking issues from rusty old ones. Cheap insurance.

Hope this helps

Btw tell your cousin i think that satellite body is "dead sexy"(thats how we say thats freakin cool in Abilene) and much better w a 440 than a slant sux.

Thanks Matt, core plugs are also on the to-do list forgot to mention as these ones are pretty bad... and I did get the brass ones, they sell steel also but I see no reason to use those unless you need to save five bucks. I get you on the "dead sexy" term I'm sure I used that to describe it once or twice haha. My cousin is doing all the cosmetic stuff... fixing rusty trunk and floor panels (hopefully we have a weld-off I really want to do the welding) and redoing the whole interior. I'm in charge of all the mechanical stuff... engine (duh), trans, rear end, suspension, and some wiring just from experience.

The slant is in good shape btw I'm not really sure what to do with it. Probably our only option is to get it running and sell it, I get a kick out of starting old non-running engines anyway. Makes for good YouTube footage at least.
