I don't know the dimensions, but your everyday common Group 24 top mount battery fits quite well. There are slightly shorter models that you may choose for clearance though. Outside dimensions fit fi

This 'weep' hole is also known as a vent. If the internal seals of the water pump go out, you'll end up with a lot of water coming out of that whole in a hurry. Most water pumps have them typically o

Another useful tool is an input shaft from a dead transmission. For one, it's very handy for such jobs. For another, it's just cool to tear apart a tranny for all the shiny well machined gears. Use s

I didn't see a new set of head bolts in that list. The originals are basically one time use as they deform when torqued (designed to do that). Reusing them might work for a short time, but you'll en

A bit of a warning when working with foam insulation for a transmission tunnel cover- it is highly flammable. If you ever get it hot enough to melt or catch fire, you've got a problem on your hands.

Most plastics can be stripped by brake fluid safely and is what many modelers use themselves. Not ALL will be compatible though so test in an unseen spot. Model paint manufacturers also have their ow

By the way, simple water will stop the brake fluid process later when you're ready. A plastic toothbrush helps in the cleaning stage after the paint is softened. -Vegaman Dan
