burnnotice1000 588 Posted May 6, 2022 Good move . Flat tops and D3 heads are the go . Since the heads had a shave I estimated 90cc ,I also bought a std cam and lifters kit ,this big block stuff is really interesting,I'm not using the factory 429cj sump ,if I can find some other cj stuff that will be the next build.Sent from my SM-A125F using Tapatalk 1 Outback Jack reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SPArKy_Dave 9,295 Posted May 6, 2022 All the engines down south here, seem to be expensive, for unknown sec/hand. What rust dip, does the guy use? 2 burnnotice1000 and CHESTNUTXE reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dvfalcon 368 Posted May 10, 2022 Does any one knows if the sump plug thread on the Cleveland is larger on the later modelsMost the info on the net say it is 1/2inch. The ones on eBay that state size say 1/2 inch. The one in mine is larger? Trying the get a new one. I always thought they were all the same Cleveland crossflow. The socket I use is 3/4. I have another Cleveland her that takes a 7/8 socket?Thanks DaleSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 CHESTNUTXE and burnnotice1000 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bear351c 10,402 Posted May 10, 2022 Yeah, different manufacturers had different sizes of hex head. They used to sell a plug stamped OS, for "oversize", but haven't seen one for ages. Yours may have well been drilled and tapped the next size up, 'cos the thread was stripped, look up the sizes for Commodore/Kingswood or maybe British cars. Easy fix would be either a new sump or a helicoil. Cheaper to scrounge the wreckers for the next sized sump plug, I reckon. 3 CHESTNUTXE, Outback Jack and burnnotice1000 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
