"Mike, I swapped an ls engine into a 69 Chevelle and used a few of the Hollet products to get it set correctly.
I suggest you look up Holley,com LS swap site to get started.
You will want to look into oil pan, motor mounts, transmission…"
"On our 64 convertible, the power source of interest was a relay located behind the drivers side kick panel.
Also the door panel switch on the drivers door."

"YOU SURE GOT THAT RIGHT. Those cobalt bits are terrific on metal."
"On some applications it is more like 100x!! Those regular bits can be useless on hardened bolts and metal!"
"Jason, When I referred to 10x and 15x I was referring to the published LIFE of the Milwaukee cobalt drill bits as printed on their packaging."
"10 or 15 would be over kill and not needed for this application. Main thing is do not use standard or stainless. Stainless is about the same strength as stainless bolts.. just a tad more, but many have the misconception they are super strong. The…"
"Jason
I used the Milwaukee "cobalt" drill bits like you described. They worked just fine.
Some are rated 15x now with some as 10x.
Started putting some release lubricant on the bolt part that is still in the block earlier today.
Thx"
"Tom, A couple of points: 1st: Not sure why anyone would go thru the process to drill out broken bolt and install helicoil and not use a Grade 5, or better yet Grade 8 bolt. They are readily available. But, I've seen some really crazy…"
"So, I finally got the front cover of the 64 engine.
Here is what I found.
Whoever changed the timing chain/gears and water pump years ago--must have had a problem withe the threads in the block. For one bolt location, They inserted a helicoil…"

The key is the correct kind of drill bit and a set of E-Z Out tools will get it done
Once the center of the bolt is drilled out it releases the bolt easily
A good chance once the…"

1963 Eldorado convertible boot
Posted by Les Eastling on February 27, 2020 at 10:33am 1 Comment 0 Likes

One from either a 62 series convertible or an Eldorado would work. I know I am searching for hen's teeth here... but you never know unless you ask!
