Re: 302 Chevrolet Engine Build
I don't know of any car guys that would say I wish my engine was the first one he built when referring to a young automotive machinist. But in the not so far future when you've made your mark lots of people will wish they had that bragging right. Great work young man!

Re: 302 Chevrolet Engine Build
Is that a 67 block with the vent tube to the outside?

I'm sure Mike is getting excellent advice from his dad. I recognized the cart in the first pic.

I would be very pleased for Mike Jones to build an engine for me with all due respect to my man Bill Ceralli.

Re: 302 Chevrolet Engine Build
Yes it is; from the opening post on this thread "I've always been fascinated by first generation Z/28s, which brings me to my first engine rebuild, a 1966 October 657 casting block with matching 462 casting heads."

Re: 302 Chevrolet Engine Build
A Road draft tube is what that was called and was on a lot of engines going back many years.
If you were behind an old car with one and they let off the gas coasting and their engine was a little worn, you’d see smoke trailing out from under the car from the tube. The idea was to create a little suction across the bottom of the tube to help vent the crankcase They were pretty Sloppy and oil leaked out of there. PVC systems replaced the RDTubes
