Makes sense but i was thinking / hoping someone made one like the billet specialties for the 69 motors. They're trutrac system puts compressor where the alternator is now.
Any have or know of any better ways to mount ac on pre 70 cast water pump engines so its not on top of motor. Cant find anyone who makes a nice billet front system for pre 70 340.
Probably going to replace the radiator with an aftermarket one that works on 70 and up to deal with the reversed lower hose issue. Has anyone tried to adapt the billet specialties front runner to the 69 340 with the short water pump. Thinking it may just be a spacer fix to bring it out to the 70...
Any cooling issues with using later model 70-72 water pump on a 69 340 motor? Wanting to do the billet specialties front drive system and doesn't work on earlier short water pump engines from what I see.
Thanks for the good info guys. Sure nice having this knowledge around. I put it in with crank at 12 and cam at 6, then I rotated it to both at 12 so I can have #1 firing for the distributor stab and rotor point at #1 cylinder. Thanks so much.
So is it true that #1 is not the firing position (both lifters low in the bore on the cam) when the marks/dots are aligned 6 on the cam and 12 and the crank? Mine shows and from what I read #1 is not in the firing position but #6 is. True??
Help!! When installing cam during engine build cam timing mark/dot should be at 6 position and crank at 12 correct? Does this set up #6 to be in the firing position? Seems #1 is not in the firing position at this point on my motor when set this way. Is this right? .
On the drvr side I was able to put in the header from under the car. I left the z-bar off for more room. Once it's up in place just start a couple of bolts to hold it in place an put in the starter before you tighten up the header bolts.
