    Use a table ban saw to hack off the 340 piston crown .

    Your car, your way. It's your situation to figure out..... Here's one that will make the experts cringe. A very well known Winston Cup V-6 builder had a Cylinder head guy (now passed) that made me a Fly cutter out of a Valve to install a different profile Camshaft in a motor maybe 35 years...

    Lets talk clutches

    My last 3 pedal experience was about 15 years ago. I used a Mcleod Dual disk clutch. This was a GM so I don't even know if they make this for Mopar applications but the one thing always amazed me is how soft the Pedal was. I don't remember much more than that but it was a good piece. Not cheap...

    Getting Ready to Lose another Hero

    96 is one heck of a run.... But it ain't over. He sounds like the kind of guy I always enjoy just sitting with and letting them talk. And with those 2 careers alone I bet the stories he has told would peek the interest of anyone. Be there for your family during this time and if it's time then...

    Adding 4 more legs to the household-Clara

    You ain't the first one to say that since she came home.... It's no secret amongst the people that really know me I have a huge heart for animals. I like an underdog or so to speak lol..... Full steam ahead! JW

    Adding 4 more legs to the household-Clara

    Well crap..... She finally got to see the Vet Friday and it was definitely not what I wanted to hear... Lyme disease, heartworms, 103.7 temp, yeast infestion, and fluid pockets where she was fixed. The Lyme disease is my main concern as that explains her being lame and barely able to walk...

    Well I won’t say I’m never going to buy another set of Speedmaster heads

    I shipped mine direct to PRH. I can't remember the details now however it was money well spent. He also did some minor bowl blending and though I am happy knowing that part of the engine is good to if I did it over again I would have spent money on Trickflows. But even then those would have went...

    That rotating engine stand I told you guys about is on sale.

    I have one that has not been taken out of the box. I think it's going to get returned this weekend. I don't want to put this thing together and end up in a fight to mount a motor.... Glad this thread came up.... JW

    Adding 4 more legs to the household-Clara

    About 2 weeks ago a co-worker told me to come get this dog that showed up in his yard..... Well, that is exactly what happened after animal control kept her for a week (no chip either!) I'm not sure my current dog is overly excited about the turn of events but he himself was in the same...

    Who here holds the record for most amount of time elapsed since dragging a project home and it's still not done ?

    My car sat in a building basically from 1985 til 2017. It saw a few hundred miles in 2018. Maybe this year the ol' speedo gets moving again... We'll see.... JW

    Unique Mailing Situation. What Would You Do?

    OP, you are one of the Aces on the site. Wait for the buyer to reach out to you. Something to think about is the more times it's in transit the greater of an opportunity there is to either have damage or get lost. It's not worth either risk..... If it comes up in a thread (assuming this is...

    Talk about turning a Mole hill into a Mountain lol

    Maybe he makes really good Egg Sandwiches lol..... There could be a time in life where any of us will have a "come apart" but not over a friggin' seat belt. I would own it and just say write the ticket so we can all get out of there.... Oh, I forgot, you won't catch me without it on. It's too...

    Marriage is :

    I don't know. Most women will be by their man when it's not "better", but "worse".... I watched the power of a determined wife go into battle with a close friend who lost his battle to Cancer. She loved that man and would swing foe the fence daily while he battled to breathe.... JW

    Electrical solderless or soldered connectors

    Solder is more resistance. A crimped connector requires $$ to really have strong crimps. Maybe it's me but if you keep up with Drag and drive events wiring seems to be at the forefront of problems..... Just my observation. My last resto I soldered almost all the joints except a handful in the...

    when is Legendary 25% off sales?

    One more reason why car will just sit and rot in the shop.... I give you guys all the credit in the world for being that patient for something like interior parts....The game has been forever changed. Eventually it will be a 2 year wait at double the cost... JW

    Terrible news for Lizi Musi..

    She's got a tough row to hoe.... But her Dad (Pat) is a fighter if there ever was so she will have that energy around her! I always say someone will be the statistic that pulls through. Let's hope it's her. I say tha whole circle that surrounds her can halt the Motorsports life and go into...

    Your coming to Richmond, VA. But if Montrose Upholstery still does them it's top notch work.

    Use a table ban saw to hack off the 340 piston crown .

    You need .187 or so for material thickness on the top of the piston if I remember correctly. This was a set of TRW's but it's been 25 years. Make a simple fixture to keep it consistent and way to scale your pistons. It won't win awards from most but I did it and that motor is probably still...

    Why do people act like *** klowns on the road.

    They do it because they can and the legal system basically scoffs at them on court day. Until something changes in regards to that mentality in the USA, it will only get worse.... Now the ones who want to play with Commercial vehicles, go ahead and keep trying. Basically a rig is 80,000lbs of...

    Spring fling 2023 a bust for A bodies

    Alot of the shafts we purchase in our plant are basically Concrete tubes on Steroids..... If you ship something in them basically a saw would be required to damage them..... But yeah, you can make something indestructible almost for shipping. But it does require time to do so and if a seller...
