I don't think I going Ford paint on a Chevy engine, might cause the engine to run bad.

Engine coming out.



Engine out

Oh, milky. Had a 350 do that to me once in the middle of the busy shipping channel in the city. Not fun when it was losing power, went wide open and headed for shore until power and RPM slowly dropped and died with the throttle pinned. Engine was totally covered in thick milkshake coming out of every possible place to leak and all over the bilge. Then paddle hard to shore while moving with the tide (away from my trailer). Missed the first ramp but made the next, hitchhike about 40 miles up river to my truck and raced back in time to miss the tide and wait another 4 hours until water was deep enough. Got it home right before the sun came up, in time to get cleaned up and be at work on time. That was a long day. Pulled a 350 out of a Trans Am for $100 and dropped it in, back on the water the following weekend. Wish I still had that sort of energy.

Previous owner did not know you had to winterize boats left outside.

Thanks. My engines are still at the machine shop waiting on the rebuild. I hope to get them back next week.

Hope my engine builder is at work today!
