Re: Stephanie's Project V-8 RS
I'd weld one in. I put in one of those HELP! drain plug kits the damn thing leaks horrifically. My next one will be MIGed. Maybe I'll forego the drain plug and just stick a bung in there for the temp sender instead!reaper wrote:No drain plug,i was planning on adding one

Re: Stephanie's Project V-8 RS
just saw this post i am super jealous of that engine and especially the fact of you actually getting an RS any RS i see around my area some bum is using for a plumbing business or painting and the van is trashed, and it upsets me. but congrats on this job and about the clear floor and firewall if you ever do find a way to do it i would love to hear cuz i was just talkin to my father about it and he said it will be too hot for it to work or i need i crap ton of cash to pay for the Plexiglas that is 4in. thick
