Good luck Bobby, I won't be making it, had it running good and found block cracked above the breather port. I knew it sounded too good. Keep it off the wall this time.
is it leaking water ..or oil .. maybe able to wield it ..

yea save me alittle piece I'll mount it on a plaque. We built some strong cars back then. Lotta engineering in those chassis.

cant say we have ever built a weak one .SAFETY OVER SPEED ...... and 20 years later time has proven to teach us how to build em better with less .... man the things i do to em now ..makes that old car look cheezy...lol . we thought we knew what we were doing back then ...now i suppose the only car left from that time .is the prosedan car .. you and steve did all the hard work with the main chassis .. 10 years later .. i got to do all the salad ..thats been a good car ..

Just water, about a 4-6 inch long horizontal crack on the side. Last time I had one that sounded this good it scattered. I may try welding it with a nickel rod, don't think I'll have much luck with this one though.

maybe you need me to build your motor.....lol...... i took a 305 out to my dad ..that block was cracked all the way from the back to the front .on both sides ..took dad a couple of weeks nickel welding .. but other than a few little leaks that liquid glass took care of ..ran that motor for years .one in my dirt car ..motor was new and didnt want to build another block ..btw most of those cracks were gap.. enough for a dime to slide in ...
