Thanks wetwilly. Here's where I'm at right now..... I have the head at my pals machine shop but he won't get the holes drilled till Monday.
Since I don't know exactly what cam the PO put in it I'm thinking go ahead with the Fentons but I have a nice 235 intake I blasted and cleaned up some time ago. I'm thinking to start it up with the single carb manifold and if it runs good I may just leave it and not mess with the dual intake offy. Besides, I don't have two carbs right now but thanks to a great Stovebolter I'll have one in a couple days.
Since its at my nephews house, so I can't work on it, he has a nice vacuum system that you pull a vac on the entire water system, then it will pump the antifreeze and it'll fill it up. No air pockets...hopefully anyway. He's a mechanic and has all the good gadgets and gizmo's. I'll be watching!
Hey, wetwilly, I may regret it later but I can't just sit and do nothing. I spent quite a bit of time in the shop today restoring a 1919 and 1927 Utah tag. I'm practicing to do the '37 tag for my pickup! Nothing heavy, heck, I can't even raise the garage door so I got my granddaughter to do it.
I'll keep everyone posted on how the hole drilling comes out. 3/16th bit. 12degree angle and a new gasket for the template....holes bored toward the manifolds.More later.
