I don't know of any car guys that would say I wish my engine was the first one he built when referring to a young automotive machinist. But in the not so far future when you've made your mark lots of people will wish they had that bragging right. Great work young man!

Is that a 67 block with the vent tube to the outside?

I'm sure Mike is getting excellent advice from his dad. I recognized the cart in the first pic.

I would be very pleased for Mike Jones to build an engine for me with all due respect to my man Bill Ceralli.

Yes it is; from the opening post on this thread "I've always been fascinated by first generation Z/28s, which brings me to my first engine rebuild, a 1966 October 657 casting block with matching 462 casting heads."

A Road draft tube is what that was called and was on a lot of engines going back many years.

If you were behind an old car with one and they let off the gas coasting and their engine was a little worn, you’d see smoke trailing out from under the car from the tube. The idea was to create a little suction across the bottom of the tube to help vent the crankcase

They were pretty Sloppy and oil leaked out of there.

PVC systems replaced the RDTubes
