Sheet, I forgot that this is a Hemiroid motor blush All the motor mount holes on the stock 426 type hemi motors are threaded into the crankcase so they really need to be seal well wrench


Thanks Cab! Indy block. I'll make Engine limiters that come off of the engine mount locations and be sure to seal all bolts. Little bit of a learning curve going from a wedge to my first hemi. I pulled the distributor and inspected everything above that bolt hole location before trying the bolt with sealer. Couldn't find any oil above the hole. I let the engine come up to temp and idle for a while. No leaks now! up

I'm going to bleed the brakes, mount the hood and send it off to paint, fab some engine limiters, align the front end, and........... take it for a f'in test drive!
