If its a 71 it shoulbe an AE case with 10mm head studs... Before you do anything with it make sure that all the head studs hold 25 lb/ft of torque.... These are bad for pulling head studs..

ok -- thanks for the tips Very Happy this is going to be a project motor you could say do to lack of funds-i would like to get as many new parts that i can - but swapping some parts from my 1500- maybe it will be done by summer- my thought is to rebuild either as a 1641 with new cylinders and pistons(it needs has broken fin) or spit case send out to get at least an 1835- i have to check pricing on both see ya sat-

Let's do a leakdown test on it before you pull the heads.
