I had not seen a block repaired in this manor.

Other atempts at block repairs I have seen failed over time.

Guaranties fix.

Very interesting to watch.

Even money bet that it leaks. It's probably cracked to the oil gallery. Pressure check the system before he drives it.

I've worked on 'Vettes and depending on rarity of the car, it's better to just replace the block and move on. The other option is to find a good block with the right casting codes, deck the block to remove the old serial number and restamp the block with the correct VIN. I saw this done on a 67 convertible 427 A/C car with a cracked block.

I don’t think we had one for a while with AK Mia. This one is from a few years back

Ah right, since I no longer live with my demented siblings I'd forgotten the curious terror of April Fools Day, a day when all food carried with it the threat of unknown perils.

Carry on.

JLarson · 04-01-2019, 09:53 AM

Reps delivered!

On April fool's day, I feel like they should deduct from the total...

She bought my car. I don't think this is an April fools thing. Crazy.

My condolences.

He has another block if this does not work.
Speaking of restamping.Commonly done on Vettes.Buyer beware.
I think there are more 67 convertibles with big blocks on the road today than came out of the factory.

Also more Tri-Power cars than came from the factory.

It was one of the reasons I quit working for a guy in KC, he was faking cars....
