I fixed the problem by making a turnbuckle strap to go from the head to the sway bar mount. It's a perfect lineup, easy to make, and it stopped the pecking. It also helps the motor mount to live longer.
It also keeps the clutch linkage happy in a three pedel car  :D

Had an aluminum PI intake a few years ago that had quite a bit of damage in the bottom water jacket area that needed welding to fix from sitting so long. One little pin hole can move a lot of water.
And as others have said bolt length, lengh of thread on the bolt, total length of the bolt, and the depth of the threaded hole

I would do a rear gear change to wake it up first. You need more to get the weight of that car moving. Even a high HP 427 is not going to like 3.00 gears

Pull the heads and get the valves touched up to fix #4 then drive the wheels off of it and enjoy it

I would get a hold of who your going to have make your new axle's and ask them what dimensions they need, then go measure your housing

Sounds like the camshaft gear may be cut wrong, try it with another old cam known to be ok. might be the cam AND the block dimensions stacking up ?  :)

I always start with jetting the way that Holley built them then see what the combo wants for the fine-tuning. Holley typically built them pretty close to how much fuel is needed for how much air they will pass

If it turns out to be an oil feed hole from the block into the head, a pressed-in thin-wall tube in the block hole could be done without block teardown.

KS
That must be the repair that I've heard of using a pushrod with the ends cut off pushed into the oil passage thats needs repair ?
