how do you get one out of the block? when i got this motor, the tube was broken off at the base of the head, so i obviously need to replace it. how do i go about doing that? do i need to tap it out from the bottom end?
next question.... how do i know what size of new one to get?!
yeah thats what i have done. take a hammer and tap it out just dont mushroom the end too much
thanks, Cory. now, how do i choose the correct replacement one? do they have certain part numbers, or is it universal? i would think O'Reilly or Advance would have a replacement part for it.
go to parts store and get one for that year block!
sweet! thanks!!!
this motor will be so nice when it gets in:
355 sbc
stock 350 heads (reworked with new valves and springs)
.465 cam
Holly 600cfm carb
my first project motor, so i know it's not much compared to some of ya'll's, but i'm still excited to drop it in.
PB Blast it first, then stick a phillips screwdriver in it that fits pretty close, wrap a rag around it and clamp your vice-grips on and twist back and forth and pull at the same time. Not much twist, and lots of pull, and wiggle it just a little bit. ;D
wow, didn't even have to pull the pan! just grabbed onto the remaining part of the tube connected to the block (next to the base of the head), twisted and pulled! derrrrr!!!!! i know, i know..... i'm a NOOB!
OLD SCHOOL stuff ==roll
