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. |

If you are willing to pull the sheet metal I still say torque the head bolts. Even if you have to clean up the corroded studs. By removing the sheet metal you'll be able to see if you have any leakage where the cylinders meet up w/the case & head.
Also, if you are pulling the sheet metal you might be surprised by how much muck gets stuck in all the nooks & crannies. "While it's out" syndrome can lead to an awefully long list... -pt |
