Thanks V8. The chassis on this car couldn't handle the power of a very low power SBC. I had to make some improvements if I wanted to have more power.

I know what you mean about the LS engine assembly. I've been studying them as much as I can. They are certainly different than the older engines I'm used to. My engine is a very early one and can't use the MLS head gaskets. I'm limited to the graphite gaskets. There is a notch in the heads that prevents using the later gaskets.
