What did you do to your '67 today?

[67350#1242]

Thanks for the link.  I suppose the question is how much do you want to trust 54 year old motor mounts vs recent manufactured items?

There are no present correctly fitting aftermarket insulators for the original 67 frame mounts...    Your best option for reliability is to switch to 68 frame mounts - then lots of new aftermarket insulators will fit.

  Please describe your issue with "ill-fitting".  The ones I bought fought a little, but not impossible to go make me want to go to the 68 mounts.

Missed the center bolt by 3/8".  I would suspect that if you left the frame mount and the top motor mount bolts loose and put the center bolt in, it would go, but then tightening everything up would surely put it in a bind.  Not for me.

Had a nice long drive today, taking car to get a few things done to it.

I picked up my 289 HiPo engine from the machine shop today!

Yes sir, and I had to sleeve all cylinders.  Found the motor to be 40 over during the year down, so I had no other option. Guys did a good job. Now it's time to put it back together.

Drove 2339 to cars and coffee this morning to schmooze with the boys.  She it running great after Drew rebuilt my carburetor.

Jbrooks,
Is yours a stock rebuild? Which cam are you going to use? I may also be looking a sleeving all eight holes as my original block sat outside in a wheel barrel for a number of years before we got the car back in 1978.

Finally had it out for a drive.Restored both heads,a job that require small hands.     
Next up is to put better tires on,love the look of the repros,not to drive with them!

Drove it.After a lengthy hiatus(by my standards) the weather in L.A. finally got cool enough for me to get the car out.Two things made themselves clear right from the jump:1.It is still "quite"loud....2.It is also still "quite"fun to drive.Something else made itself clear a little later:It is "quite" fuel inefficient Oh well,2 outta 3 ain't bad....I think I'll keep it....

I wish it was a stock rebuild.  I bought my GT350 6 years ago, and I noticed that it started smoking under load.  Not knowing the details of the motor, I found that it had already been bored 40 over; so I had to re-sleeve the entire block back to standard bore (which I'm happy with how it came out).  Without that said, it's been great verifying that all my K-Code internal components are all there. 

I wish you the best of luck on your re-build.  I couldn't imagine having a K-code block setting in a wheel barrel outside.  I know it was different times, but wow.  Take care!

Bought more NOS parts!
Thanks to Dave M. I finally got hold of a HiPo crank sprocket and another stamped gas filter. Just stamped two alternator rear housings (one spare). If you wonder who snagged the NOS hubcap ...

Add pic -- well, because.

Yeah, different times indeed.  When we picked up the car, the previous owner remarked "I don't know if you want this or not but you can have it."  He didn't have to ask me twice.  Didn't know for sure if it was the original short block or not but of course I said yes.  Glad I did.
