I need some help identifying what engine block I have, the prev owner said the block was out of a 89' 5.0. Where are the casting numbers on that year block so I can be certain of what I have.
thanks
Here is a link to a 1967 video of Carroll driving it during a Goodyear tire test -

There are also pics of the car if you look at the owners previous posts.
I am fairly new at all these mechanical stuff, so if there is no "real" benefit in boring the block and assuming my current block is solid, what types of things can be done to get some more HP out of my current setup - besides stroking the motor.
I am not so much worried about the damaging the exhaust when removing, but I am trying to see where it would be best and easiest to disconnect the exhaust in order to get to the seat bolts.
I am getting ready to take out my seats, and it appears I have to drop the exhaust to get to the inside seat bolts.
My question is which is the best place to drop the exhaust? Will I have enough clearance if I just diconnect it from the hangars?
Quick question to anyone who has installed dynamat extreme, how much did you use?
The website suggests 36 square feet for the floor area, but I want to check with some of you who have bought it just to be sure.
thanks
Clark, I have never replaced interior carpet before so forgive my ignorance, but I would assume a carpet kit from ACC would include the already glued insulation you talk about.
I have plans on redoing my interior soon but I have a couple questions -
1.) Does TMI have a direct website(cannot find) if not which vendor sells TMI door panels?
2.) When replacing the carpet if you choose to add a Dyna Mat product do you still need to use an underlaying product in...
Brake pedal sticking
I still have manual brakes on my 67 but I do have discs up front, my question is when I brake under any condition my pedal will randomly stick and the pedal will not release.
Any ideas of what this could be?
Thanks for the clarification between the 2 carbs, but is there any clear cut advantages one vs the other performance wise, and no I am not concerned about gas mileage, my car is not a daily driver.
What is the difference between a Holley double pumper 650 and say a Holley street avenger 670 carb?
If there is a difference what are the advantages/disadvantages of each?
Any input would be helpfull thinking of upgrading my carb.....
Just a quick question I would like some clarifaction on - Someone once told me that if your carb was under sized for your set up it could result in the engine running hotter than normal.
Is there any truth to that?
