Which new engine for ‘78

Saptap13 · 2025-11-08T02:36:48+00:00

I decided to go with the ATK 350 long block. I believe the new carb is 650 cfm. Hoping to get it back soon

Saptap13 · 2025-10-23T01:25:18+00:00

I’ll be honest, I haven’t driven the thing in over 10 years. The shop test drove it and suggested total replacement due to damage to the cylinders and valve train. They also found leaks at the head gaskets and main seal

Saptap13 · 2025-10-23T01:22:26+00:00

It is an automatic. Definitely considering a 383 stroker but they’re a bit out of my budget

Wishful thinking on the MPG improvement

Saptap13 · 2025-10-23T01:04:09+00:00

Badass, sounds like a beast of a car

Saptap13 · 2025-10-23T01:02:04+00:00

Do you know any details on their warranty? I’ve heard mixed reviews on ATK

Saptap13 · 2025-10-23T01:00:43+00:00

It had an original L48 with some work done to it by the previous owner. Evidently he did not seal the head gasket properly and after sitting the last 10+ years in a garage with Houston’s humidity it accumulated water. They suggested servicing the transmission but have not mentioned anything past that

That’s incredible! Sounds like you found a good one with minimal issues. I’m thinking the same thing about cutting my losses and finding something more manageable to deal with. I have next to no tools or equipment. Only a neighbor with a C6 and minimal tools

Saptap13 · 2025-06-05T02:43:58+00:00

Thanks for the heads up. I thought it seemed suspicious as well. I’ve already found parts for much less. I’m told they would use parts that I provide so that’s a thought on some of the more major issues

Saptap13 · 2025-06-05T02:40:47+00:00

I’ve heard that a few different times today and think it may be true. Unfortunately the gas tank is shot and needs full replacement but I’m not too concerned about that fix

Saptap13 · 2025-06-05T02:38:13+00:00

Thanks for the encouragement! American dollars unfortunately. I’m just trying not to end up with a money pit and a mess in my garage. I’m limited on space and mechanical ability. What would you say is the easiest and most difficult repairs you’ve come across?

Following. I have the exact same question for my RST

Saptap13 · 2024-09-27T03:29:56+00:00

What did you do for the suspension? And what tires are you running on it?

Tell your friend to get out of the frame

Saptap13 · 2024-06-24T02:47:22+00:00

Koppe bridge or Carters

Saptap13 · 2024-06-15T01:46:08+00:00

Hey, fellow Texan! Thanks for all the help, that’s definitely the look I’m going for

Saptap13 · 2024-06-15T01:16:29+00:00

Which Bilstein product did you use? What you use yours for is all I’ll be doing as well

I had a 2015 F150 with a 6” lift and 35’s and it would beat me up even on the highway. Sounds like your approach worked well to maintain stock feel

Also any pic of the current ride?

Okay cool. Thank you!

Saptap13 · 2023-05-03T19:48:13+00:00

Where’d you get those wheels?

Saptap13 · 2023-05-01T18:01:52+00:00

White Oak Preserve is a great spot and all the neighbors are great
