Thread: my engine swap

Tweet

not going down the road yet as the exhaust is very loud. though when i idle it in my driveway a few of my neighbors driving by stop in the road to hear it run.

Who would have thought our Barb would be the terror of the neighborhood !

Barb, something we have started using is Bars Leaks water pump lubricant and anti rust additive. What a difference it makes in how corrosion free the steel parts stay. When we first put Dan's Olds together we just used a 50/50 mix and some water wetter. When we tore the engine apart after that parts like the steel spring inside the radiator hose were already rusted badly. Next time we did it we added the Bars Leak stuff and when we tore the engine out the next time that spring and the inside of the block looked like new metal. We are going to use it from now on. Just thought I would mention it. We were talking to a guy at a car show one night and he says he has been using it for years and the insides of his engines stay like new.
