gear drive makes such good sense to me but all I've seen are so loud, have they improved on the noise?

70c10stepside · 08-31-2012, 04:34 PM

Yeah, they make quiet ones. My dad likes the loud ones though

Thanks bud! The guy at the machine shop did great, by looking at it you'd think its new. The motor is a 70 model out of a Camaro and Heads are out of a 68 corvette

I had gear drive in a camaro a long time ago. When I bought it everyone I know that ever had one told me I would hate it. They said it's neat when somebody drives by but when you listen to it everywhere you go you will hate it. I put it in anyway and I hated it. I know I didn't listen to anyone, but it would be much easier to change now than later. And guaranteed every time you go to the gas station some old man will come up and tell you that you need power steering fluid.

70c10stepside · 09-20-2012, 10:17 PM

Haha My dad loves them. He had one on this motor before. My mom didnt like it, so he took it off. He said this time its for me and him.

Congrats on the truck.. Looks great.

Gas in the oil, most likely indicates the diaphram in the fuel pump is leaking. Pretty common thing actually. So the oil smells like gas?

It was the heads. The valve seals were dried up from sitting for around 16 years lol. Its all taken care of now, everything is new from the motor mounts up. We're probably going to finish up and fire up today or tomorrow. Depending on how easy things fall in line for us

**CC69Rat** · 10-08-2012, 12:31 PM

Ahh .. Sorry, didn't see there were more pages. I didn't read the rest.

Glad you got it figured out.

70c10stepside · 10-11-2012, 11:18 PM

70c10stepside · 10-12-2012, 08:58 PM

Well it runs

We got the rockers adjusted, then had to quit. It got dark on us.

70c10stepside · 10-13-2012, 10:06 PM

The gear drive was such a good call. I like it, with how loud the truck already is it doesn't really stand out. Only a brake line left and we'll be ready for the road! The motor started up the first time we spun it over lol It didnt hickup and it hasnt yet. It'll be a pretty good motor from the looks of it!
