Re: My 1971 k5 engine bay build

Finally got the engine back in! Had a couple of hiccups along the way as per usual, but nothing too bad.
Getting the bell crank back in was a but of a chore, also the aftermarket fan shroud and radiator didn't fit exactly right, but in the end it is all good.

And it started right up!

I got to doing some timing, turned it off... went to start it again and it was acting like either the battery was dead or the timing was way too advanced.
After some head scratching, it turns out the new(reman) started was toast!!
Pathetic... so I went and got a new Powermaster mini high torque unit and it worked perfect.
Drives a whole lot better down the road now! Tons of Torque, NO leaks so far!!
