![]() ![]() I'm currently working on the parts diagrams listings. They will offer all parts used on the engine (long block + fan & sheet metal) from 1965-89, including all of the supercessions, and upgrade tips in the comments fields next to the parts listings... -Wayne

Will my engine look that CLEAN if I buy your book? I don't believe that block has ever seen service...
![]() Forget rebuilding the engine - I plan to buy this book to read for leisure. Love it! -Boyo

Well, this is what your engine case needs to look like if you're going to have a clean, leak-free motor. Most people don't realize that the cleaning part is the key to a successful rebuild (well one of the parts). I only mention it in the book like 27 times.
This case is not very clean - the photos are deceiving. The inside of the case needs to still be scrubbed for many hours. Fortunately, the photos don't show that... -Wayne

Wayne;
I believe that taking the time to take all of these beautify color pictures will definitely constitute an "Unfair Advantage" for your book. Mark Donahue would be proud!

It takes me about 4-5 hours to setup, photograph, combine (it's about six pics per diagram), and cleanup...
