- Hey Guys, Migs Here! In today’s video, we are working on my 1974 Corvette after several months of sitting due to an awful noise coming from the clutch, as opposed to just pulling the transmission, we took out the engine and are going to do a full make over on both the engine and engine bay!

My dad told me something and I think it might solve one of your problems. When you said you have to take the distributor cap off to start the corvette. You might have moisture in it. So just spray some wd-40 in it. (Water displacing-40, something else he taught me)
If your not ever going to fix or add A/C, just get one of those cheap aluminum block off plates that goes on the firewall in place of the outer A/C box it will make working on the engine a bit easier with that box out of the way.
Yep...
I definitely am going to do that! Thanks!
Aluminum valve covers seal way better and get the one piece oil pan gasket and real good blue valve cover gaskets. Use Ultra Gray gasket maker on the intake end seals do not use the supplied gaskets or it will leak. I see double jump heads. That is a good thing. One more thing black dissipates heat and looks better than Chevy orange! Good luck Migs!
Seems like a lot of work just to change the clutch. Would have been easier to just pull the transmission. That's what i would have done but you do you!
He is replacing the rear main seal, as well as, a full gasket kit. Also cleaning and repaint for the engine. This is why.
He’s doing a lot more than just that, if you watched the video lol
Another migs video lets fucking go!
this thing is gonna look great when its completely painted!!
You can do anything migs!!!
I would check your freeze plugs ,water pump while you had the motor out.good job migs
Paint it gm blue very nice color that came in 70s cars
Love the corvette content, obviously! All your stuff is great, but I love the corvette stuff…
You might want to put a jack under the transmission to take the pressure off of the trans mount...
Migs u have to paint the crossmember and engine bay. rust reformer and hammerrite paint it looks good and u can brush it on. Glad to see u again. Love the content.
Nice
Love this proyect!! Keep going men.
Awesome video and you are doing great job on your work now buddy !!!
I’m so glad your back man happy to see thinks moving along your the best MIGSSSSS
My dawg Migs back at it again!!
Love your enthusiasm, Migs! Quote of the week, “The front was slightly less worse!”
While you have motor out....Need to put in new clutch, have flywheel surfaced, new rear main. Nice progress thou.
Did not expect this very cool
I’m so glad to have u back on CZcams man I missed your stuff so much
Another grate video ..migs.. keep up the good work 👍😎
Thanks! I appreciate it!!
@@motomigsofficial your welcome 👍
Living that c3 life. The motor comes out at least once during ownership.
Dude, if you are going to all the trouble of taking the motor out put new clutch disk in WHILE you have it appart. Then you get the longest amount of time possible before you have to take it appart again.
FACTS .
Hey man, not sure if you're aware of this, but it looks like you've got a 327...judging by the oil fill in front of the intake and the head castings...and it's probably the higher horsepower 327...300 hp I think
He needs to run the casting numbers.
If I were doing the job I would definitely pressure wash everything on the engine bay and the engine
I would not get rid of them valve covers I'd keep them as far as the intake I would not paint it either I take never dul to both of them and leave them as that
Hey man i love the videos have a 1997 honda integra and it overheats do u have any suggestions on what 2 check man
Change the clutch , it would be silly not no .
what happened with the half scale nascar and the fire truck
Supposed to pull Trans to change clutch.....
First
that's a older Chevy V8 with the double hump heads ,the two humps on the heads !!!! early 70 '70's or 60's heads
Those are early to mid 60s heads, starting around 68 is when they used the double hump heads with accessory bolt holes, the heads he has are non accessory holed.
can you work on the minni fire truck and not cars :)
Put a cam in the engine since you took it out
That's not a good idea at this point in time, most flat tappet cam and lifters on the market are defective and will fail very very quickly. And a roller cam is most likely out of his budget. His car already has some sort of performance cam but if he did want to change it he would need to find a NOS(new old stock) cam and lifter set from back in the day, the ones out there on the market are too risky.
Start making more videos 2 a week your posts are to spred out

Dude, I'm ngl, I don't like the corvette, I think you should get rid of it, or store it because I feel like the mg feels like a better choice,
I just seen a corvette of the same model, and boy was I disgusted, it's so big for what it is, nasty carburetor operated v8.
The mg is more down to earth a better hand to hand experience, plus not many people have those in the USA anymore. They have like cult followings in Europe, so it would be easier to get parts and cheaper since it has such a strong following.
I mean it's completely up to you, I just feel like the mg is more like you, compared to the corvette.
I mean you could probably change my mind by restoring it, but your life shouldn't be depicted by what some idiot on youtube has to say (eg me)
