Oh yea, that drive train looks sweet! =D> You do nice work man!  |
These old motors have a unique sound with the split manifold and solid lifters. They're a 235ci. The normal 481 casting block used hydraulic lifters and the 3 speed cars and trucks used a 946 casting block with solid lifters. GM decided to use the soild lifters with the 481 block and it gave it a great exhaust note (for a six banger LOL). And nope, no oil filter of any kind!!!
Glad you guys enjoyed the video. Now, it's off to FL next weekend to deliver it to J&M Enterprises in Brooksville, where the #029 car is undergoing a complete frame off restoration.
