Hi, all. I am building a 110 corvair engine and found the aluminum external oil cooler adapter block on Clark's website. The block came with a barbed fitting that would work for rubber hoses.

Trans mounts

I have a 65 Monza and the trans mounts need replacing. The car is an automatic from factory and I am converting it to a manual transmission from a 64 4 speed car. Do I need to use the 1964 mounts to install on my 65 car?

Engine Cases with Different Numbers

I recently bought a spare set of engine halves and when I got them they had different numbers on them. One half has 3819615 and the other half has 3819616. There is a code on top where the crankcase cover goes that reads T0302RA. Anybody know what is going on? Is one half from a different engine? Im...

Re: Engine Case Upper Head Studs

It also looks to be tapered because it only threads in one thread on a 7/16-14 but then stops. Do I need to heat up the engine case then install the stud?

Engine Case Upper Head Studs

I am working on an upper stud that broke off while I was trying to remove it because the threads are rusted off. I see that Clark’s has a super stud that is stronger than originals. It says I just need a standard gh3 tap. Does anyone know what size drill bit and tap they used for these studs? IMG_00...

Exhaust Valve Questions

I was just looking inside the exhaust chambers for my 1964 110 hp head and it looks like a kink in the exhaust side! Has anyone ever milled that groove off down near to the guides because I don't know how the exhaust can get through there? It's like a 90 degree turn. Sent from my iPhone using Corvai...

If I were to get the Isky 260 cam would that make the compression higher since that cam is rated at 9.5:1
