DO YOU HAVE INFO ON THE ANTI SQUEAK KIT,,,,FOR THE FRONT FENDERS,,,??? THANK YOU

I love that you didn’t torque the head bolts in the correct sequence. That should ruffle some feathers. Lol

Excellent video!

Great video! 100% on board with the 307. It’s already proven. PLUS someone already has punched it out and put flat tops it! So I stand corrected on my suggestion of the Trick Flows on the vortec. I forgot about the cruise the coast deadline and the fact that this engine already has been gone through. I can’t wait for the manual trans video you mentioned! That’s one thing I’ve never had to do. I’m hoping you do one on the carb rebuild too? Till next time “Same Christine time same Christine channel” (sorry little Batman humor from my childhood 😄)

Bill it's your car and your money. You put what ever engine you want in you car. I just sit here and enjoy the videos. Thank you.

Nice job Bill.that little engine will be just fine for this car

when i was a kid i like sbc's then i grew up and got a bbc just kidding but i do love the 4 inch stroke 454 bbc with either a t-10 or the 02xx 400r turbo . i get the 454 with a 02xx for free i have 3 so far all are the 450 hp 454 from 6,000 to 58,000 miles on them all run perfect. the engine comes with a steel crank heavy rods high flow heads 10.5 to 1 compression so all it needs is to breath. i put one in my 68 pu and put a aftermarket intake and a 850 carb and it came alive. i have a few 350 4 bolt engines but i only run bbc. i have a 427,396 and the 454 for ford i have a 390,428 and a 460 mopars i only have a 440 then a 340 sb all in cars and trucks but i do have few other rigs with sbc and Pontiac but i love the 454 the best way better then a sbc plus they don't leak like a sbc does. if u like the sbc u would fall in love with a bbc

I like that you stuck with the 307. It’ll run great with those 416 heads. I’m still a fan of the less popular small blocks like the Chevy 283 and the ford 289. Cool stuff!

Don't apologize ...for that motor ...street car ..show car ...reliable ..good performance ...You nailed it ! A+

Great video, Bill! That orange is going to look great when it's all together.

Loved the show keep this going

Well to start with ... you now have a 311cubic inch ... the bad part about the old 307 was the cams they had in them ... when I port match my heads and intake I use the intake gasket to size them up ... match it to the intake and then to the head for no interferance ... theres no reason that is not going to be a great little engine for street use ... just don't flood gas into it and it should work fine ... give er' hell ...

That was fun! Happy for you! Can't wait until I can put my engine back in my car! :)

Great video on the assembly and build of a motor.

Beautiful job. I have built multiple small block chevys and you just took me through a journey of my past. Thank you sir.

Good call! Why get a high powered Fender Twin Deluxe when you can get the sound you want with a Fender Princeton.

Great episode 😊

🎉

Well I beat on you about a big block--agree with the direction you went 100%. Nice job looking forward to the next installment!

Kudos Bill Old oval track racers think alike. Had them on my 377 with 202s they rocked!

Way to go. You accomplished in two days what I've only been able to accomplish in two weeks. And, your only extra trip to the parts store was for a thermostat. I always need three or four trips! I also learned that you've got to find "that guy" at the parts store who listens to you, has "been there", and doesn't immediately go to the computer to look up make, model, year, color, serial number, etc. before trying to find the part. "That guy" will even let you walk back into the parts racks with him to help research and then keep you back there for a half hour talking 265 vs 283 vs 301 vs 307 vs 327 vs 350 and even vs 400!! 18436572 forever.

Another great episode, Bill. I'm totally with you on keeping the 307. If it's working, don't mess with it. Did you know that 1956 was the only year that Chevrolet painted their engine blocks red? I'm going to go with the red on my '56, even though my current plan is for a 327 (the original 265 is still in my car, currently). I think it will break up the black and white (original colors) like I want. Keeping my fingers crossed that you are able to get ready for Cruisin' the Coast. Endeavor to persevere, buddy. Ken

They committed blasphemy when they put an electric motor in Project X. Sorry Sir, please continue with another awesome video!

Cant wait to hear it run. Great episode. Thanks Bill!

The difference concerning the 307, was it had less nickel in the block than the other engines. The large journal crank shares the same as in the 327 with the large journal crank. In effect, take a 350 block and use the 307 crank, 327 rods and piston....home built 327.

I may have seen the same DIY video.

Awesome !!!

Thanks for the video...going to run new brake and fuel lines on my '57 Chevy !!!

I'm from Oz, your idea is brilliant. 👍💯%✔️ had similar idea but yours tops it. Just need to check with my existing floor jack.

You have a great disposition

Love the video man!

Bill, everyone is providing their advice and, while none of it is "wrong", some ideas are better than others. Only you know Christine and you've made every right decision so far. I know you'll make a great one this time.

Did u paint the back sides black

Great

Cant beat rallye wheels. They look great, thanks Bill!

Nice job Bill, like the rally’s on a tri-five, going to look great!

looks great ...

I had the exact situation as this in my 57.i sold the 307.bought a 350 4 bolt main block and put good heads,flat top piston and a good cam.costs the same to build a 350 as a 307 but get more cubes.

Keep the great job 👍

Wow what a shock to find that out after all this time! Sounds like a good excuse for a big block. Thx

Can’t wait to see what you do

Hi Billgreat job

Boy I sure hope you go with the 350 love your show I have been watching oh about 9 months now and really like it hope your decision is 350 will be watching no matter what enjoying the show oh did you make a show on your cutlass I had a 1970 cutlass rallye fun car

The devils in the detail 👍👍👍

Bill I would put 305 HO heads they worked great on my 377 in my late model stock car

Wow that was interesting

Motor looks good! There ain’t nothing wrong with a 307. I’m just an old man with an opinion. I’m not a scientist and I don’t play one on TV, LOL,but I think that crust in the water passage is rust and calcium. I would suggest never use only water in the cooling system, but use antifreeze coolant with distilled water!

I know what you’re thinking / about the “heart - sole” philosophy idea, but my gut tells me you should go a different route. Put your Trick Flows on the Vortec 350! Christine deserves it. Added bonus is that is a one piece rear main seal and a roller cam engine. You will still have the vintage look using the Trick Flows. If you put that 307 back in the thought will haunt you forever? Brings back a conversation I had with my dad back in my high school days (early 90’s) I considered putting a 305 in my 71 Impala cause it was running engine “but” I had a 400 short block that needed attention and would take time to earn the money to get it ready. I can still hear my dads words to this day “well do you want a little tool or a big tool your pants…no replacement for displacement” 😂 ok dad I hear you 😂. So I worked as many hours as I could (Wendy’s at the time) and built the 400. NO REGRETS, dad was right. Great video Bill! The drama look on your face when the discovery was made was priceless. We all have been there. Whatever you decide, she will be awesome.

Bill if remember 307 came out in late 60's till mid 70's. GM put engine in every thing my dad had a 71 Suburban with that engine. Sorry it not what you thought it was...

If I was you I would use the vortec engine it's all around better with roller cam better everything and it's a 350 a great engine for a old tri 5 chevy way better then a under 200hp boat anchor. If I was you I would be using the 350 plus it's a vortc you can't go wrong
