EVERYBODY loves pictures,right? I remembered my camera when I stopped by the house today and snapped a few shots of my block going together.

The over-spray will be cleaned off before the manifold is bolted on....

BTW: Both of my timing marks are at the 12 o'clock position on my block for TDC. Didn't someone else mention this about their engine?

It's a Mopar Performance 360 short block with the .509" hyd. cam & .020" over pistons. A pair of mildly ported `68 X heads are running Crane 1.6:1 roller rockers. The bottom end is standard size rods & mains. I have ARP studs for the mains and heads and a Melling stock volume oil pump with a Milodon pan. The intake will be a six barrel and the exhaust will be Hooker Super Comps through a 2.5" pipes and a pair of 40 series Flowmasters. Throw in a Lakewood scattersheild, Centerforce clutch, and 4:10 sure grip and it should be fun.... :twisted:

Yes mine was the same way! Are you running a Comp Cams double roller timing gear set also?

I'm running whatever it was that came with the MP short block. It is a double roller... just not sure of the manufacturer.

<sigh....> Please, let's not talk about the VW in the background. :roll:
That was supposed to be a "quickie" project for my wife that never got off the ground. It's a nice `73 Super Beetle that needs a motor & interior. It had all the rust repair done and was freshly painted when I bought it a 1 1/2 years ago. I have 2 engine cores that goes with it.
Anyone interested? I'll let it go cheap! Come & git it.... :D
