beware of long bolts on the intake.
try the piston stop/degree wheel and see if your damper agrees with the timing tab.
no cant say that i timed it before hand because it was running already. Engine ran fine for months. then i realized that the two middle intake bolts on the driver side where loose. tightened them up and then i got valve train clatter. i didnt put two and two together until I had already taken off the intake.
If I am going to need to get a degree wheel and such then I will just take it apart and build something good out of it lol.
But I am unsure now if it is a 327 or a 350. Since it was suppose to be a 350. But all roads sort of lead to a 327 now. Casting number was 3956618 (302,327,350 all in 69). So I took the number off the front pad V0204HV. V=Flint, 02=Feb, 04= 4th day, HV=1965 327 but that is the part that gets me. How does a block that is casted in 1969 get in a 1965 vette?
