Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
Freeze plugs in, did some grinding on the block and filled one side.

Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
So, after pouring the first side of the block yesterday we definitely learned a couple things. We poured the second side today and it was a breeze. Tall funnels... No good. Make sure the consistency will lend itself to a nice flow. And fill a little at a time, as you can go back and fourth a few times for a perfect fill. Balancing is the next thing we're learning to do, so today we weighed everything, setup bob weights then set everything up in the balancer. I can't believe the education we've recieved so far.

Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
Got a cool gift on Fathers Day from the kids. #1 I really like signage for some reason and I occasionally build some signs for fun (I'll add pics of one). When I was very young my mom worked at a Chevy dealer in the small town I was from, I don't know why but I have always loved the old "OK Used Cars" logo from that era seen at the GM dealers, so they got me a 24"x24" neon version I thought was super cool.
