First Id like to thank everyone who has helped so far, I bought a 1984 crestliner with a 470 in it. Ive looked at ever swap out there. 3.0 4.3 even 898, but after looking at cost and what all has to be done. and Ive decided to go into this 470 and just see what kind of shape we are in. First of all the 470 has had the alternator conversion, it allso has the 4" heat exchanger, the oil looks used but good no water atleast, it has the pertronix ignitor, and a flame thrower coil. The starter is shot, but the engine seems to move freely. I do have a leak at the gasket between the exaust manifold, and the place where you put the antifreeze in. I pulled the plugs the first 2 plugs was a lot cleaner than the rear 2 plugs. It looks like it has been leaking at the weep hole on the front cover. Im going in assuming Ill need to pull the cam and do the speedi sleave repair, I think while I have the heads off Ill take them and have them freshend up atleast.
I will try to post updates as Im going and Im sure I will be very worrisome with a lot of questions.
wish me luck the battle begins.
Thankyou All
David
