Color looks spectacular in the sun light

I have holes drilled in mine and I can completely top off coolant without even starting the engine.

That a good mopar show.

Yeah brighter reverse lights thats good

A buddy told me before you paint set your gun air pressure and with gun empty simulate spraying the car to see if any dirt or debris is gonna pop up out of some where. So I took his advice and in most cases despite how careful I cleaned mask something almost always pop out and lands on the...

Yeah a lot of monkeying around with engine location is needed on a large number of these cars.

So when roads are dry you take it out for some drives?

If head light wiring old worn out Year One sells new M&H wire harnesses which are identical to the originals. Just unplug old harness at firewall and plug new harness in.

I went back and looked at how eng comp used to look. Wow what a transformation!

A lot of tubes on mine are 1/8 inch away from things. But I run Schumacher Torque Strap so engine does not move and no vibrations and stock biscuit mounts don't break either.

Like if a door gap was 1/8 inch on one car and a giant 1/4 inch gap on the next car rolling down the line quality control would look at it say yep thats fine ship that car to the dealer. Not to mention pot smoking hippies working on assembly plants in the 60s....

If the k-frame motor mount locations were shifted 1/4 inch one way or the other that was considered within spec when the cars were built. Tolerances were loose and for factory parts that was usually fine. But when we go to put headers on that loop around everything and require extremely...

The original welds on my k frame look like some pot smoking hippy in the 60s welded it up. And mine is sloppy requiring shims between mounts to get the headers to fit. Back in the 80s I ran Hooker Headers, didn't know about sloppy k-frames, and beat big dents in them to fit. Then the internet...

Even on clean original unmolested cars engine can be sitting in there wrong due to extremely sloppy factory tolerances. Now add all those other factors age, ppl swapped k members, prior damage, aftermarket motor mounts, mods etc then probability of engine not located correctly goes up. The...

The factory k frames and frame rail tolerances are very sloppy with these cars. Thats why TTI publishes engine placement specs. Cause if engine not located correctly side to side and height wise the headers wont fit. For my TTIs I had to add one motor mount shim on driver side and two on pass...

I have seen threads on this forum with this discussed before and I believe the EQ heads have extra casting material around the ports to allow 340 manifolds to seal. The magnum heads from Hughs may also have the extra material.

Looks like hinge for the door between trunk and rear interior. The folding rear seat hinges don't look anything like that.

Cars can rust in garages with concrete floors too if grading/drainage is not good around it allowing water to seep in under the floor.

Yeah I always narrow my focus on specific area specific task at hand. Near term achievable goals. Then one goal at a time one after the other. Then one day its like hey car is finally ready for paint.

When I ran a 650 AVS2 on my stock 340 I had to go with a bigger accelerator nozzle to get it to respond well to stoping on the pedal.

Eng comp looks great!

Back at gas station again. I had to add a cooler for PS system. Was losing assist when system heat soaked. After adding cooler i see 134 degrees out of box and 116 degrees into pump. Cooler sees 100 degrees in and 95 degrees out. 40 minute drive curvy country roads steering is working...

Finally got a dry day so washed the car was able to put some miles on it

Looks awesome love it!!

Door panels on.

360s are turds, 383s belong in scrap piles with 318s, so and so back in day lived by a drag strip, go punch some numbers in some app and see, then others say near stock 383s could run low 13s, and so and so doesn't know what they are talking about, mopars after 1970 were turds until gen 3 Hemis...

If you want 500 inch engine I think a low deck big block wins hands down.

Front seats bolted in. Next get new moisture barrier on doors and new door panels.

I get the impression some in this thread consider all 360s the same and all 383s the same. But both came as 4 barrel better cam version vs their 2 barrel counter parts.
