itel take a bit but u would have to gen different mounts and trans, new fuel system and exhaust and censors

It wouldn't be too bad a job if you used an older carbureted 350 and brought over the motor mounts and trans from the donor car. Might have to move the tail shaft mount to match the new trans, and the drive shaft would need to be replaced with a custom length. The electrical wouldn't be too bad either, but it would be easiest to switch the car to 12 volt rather than trying to find a 6 volt starter and mate a 6 volt generator to the alternator mounting. Also you can't run an HEI on 6 volt, so you'd have to convert to an older points-type distributor with remote coil.

Where is the engine block of a 1999 Lexus rx 300 and do I need to take the engine block to replace the knock sensors?

Your engine block is the main part of your engine that holds the crankshaft and pistons internally. Your knock sensors, there are two, are screwed into the top of the engine block in the valley between the cylinder heads. You don't have to remove the engine block, you do have to remove the upper and lower intake manifolds to get to them. I changed the sensors in my 99 rx300, long day!


How do you replace the block heater cord on a 1990 Mercury Topaz?

If its just the cord, then follow the old cord to the back side of the engine ( really the side of the engine closest to the firewall ) and replace it. When the engine is cold, plug it in and you will hear the block heater heating up. If you don't hear anything, then replace the heater also. That requires a little more knowledge.
