Alright need some ideas of where I'm getting a fuel smell from. When I come to a stop is when I get the strongest smell though I can smell it a bit while driving. I've found no signs of a leak. I've replaced all the rubber lines going to the tank and replaced both the filler neck and vent line...
Looking to see if anyone can ID this as a truck or car oil pan? All I know is they are from crate motors and for a 1 piece block. The one on my core engine is dented and I can grab one of these cheap if it will work for a truck.
Search Hector Carrillo on FB he rebuilds these boxes for a very reasonable price. He can also upgrade to a quick ratio of you want. Turn around was about a week. Ships in a USPS flat to save $$
When this upgrade does eventually happen I'm going to rebuild the trans. I happen to have a TCI Saturday Night Special TQ that I can use. Will it be a benefit to use it with the upgraded engine or should I stick with a stock replacement TQ? Right now the plan is the SUM-8800 cam with 1.6...

Lookings at options to replace my 76 smogger. I picked up a TBI engine with the machining for a fuel pump and roller cam. If I build it the plan is flat tops/roller cam/different heads. Here's where I'm lost. Yes everyone says vortecs(which I agree to a point) Are there any difference between...
Afternoon guys,
Haven't been on here in awhile. I've come across an engine for possible upgrade from my 76 Smogger. I found a Vortec Headed Volvo Penta 5.7GS. It was a 2 barrel carb engine with hole for mechanical fuel pump. The gentleman had it freshened up and engined up selling the boat...
