I just pulled the engine from a donor car for my 71. While I have the engine out of the car, what maintenance/inspections should I do? I'm not looking to do a complete rebuild, but would like to cover the basics before it goes in - wires, hoses, etc...
Thanks in advance. |

Still have the fuel injection system? I would replace all the hoses while they are easy to get to. I did this with Babydoll, and found that the guy who last worked on the engine used 5/16" (7.9 mm) hose. Replaced it with 7 mm hose and voila, no leaks.
