The engine bay is painted! In the process of touching up what needs to be black. The short block is done, needed to round up some parts for the heads, got that done on Tuesday. Another week or so I will be picking up the engine. Progress on the 'Cuda got short tracked a little more, since I...

Dave, there is no dyno close to me. It would be interesting to see what power the engine will make. It is built with 9.3/1 compression, forged pistons and steel crank. The cam I a m using is a Speed Pro CS1019R, it is very close to the '68 4 speed cam. The engine is blue printed and...

Well, the good old South Dakota winter has brought things to a stand still. My buddy in the body shop is real busy with the winter fender benders and my agreement with him is that his regular business takes precedence! I don't have a problem with that. He will get to the 'Cuda eventually...

This is getting interesting! The base of the AVS says C2 4611S. I have been doing some reading, and a replacement carb more then likely would have an SA. So, my question is, what do i have here? Does the C2 mean March of 1972? If it is a replacement, should it not be 4611SA? Oh well, I bet...

I just got the AVS back. Looks good now for being 44 years old! Curt Rees

Dave, it will b all taped off before it is painted They r still sanding. Stuff still has to come out. It will b done right. Curt

Here is a photo showing the engine bay. It is ready for primer and then the Y2 paint! Curt Rees:burnout:

Sorry about that,, Shane. i have met a lot of good people on this site. PM from several. I appreciate all the help. With out it, this project would take a lot longer! Curt Rees

Thanks, Daniel. i have been doing a lot of reading. I have looked at a lot of the companies you have listed an have ordered parts from some already. It is coming down to odd's and ends that may be the hardest to find. I am lucky that Ialso have a good parts store here that has been able...

The plates went on today! This is what a lot of Ford and GM products are going to see in the future! Curt Rees

Lots of parts showed up today. Only have to send one back so far, no clarification on the years part fit, acelerator cable mount bracket. New ignition kit (Transistorized) has plug wires marked for an Olds. Double checked, right part #, as long as they fit..... Got lined up with a local...

I would say the decal has been replaced. If you are looking to do a car referencing this one, use the placement position that is in the black and white photo. The reason I say it has been replaced, I do know the black stripe was redone. I think the original was tape. The reason I know...

Here are a couple of more photos. One was taken in 1969 and the other 2013. I still have the trophies and plan on taking a current photo with them when I get the car running. I have carried them with me through several moves to several different towns and even to a different state over the...

I did look at both web sites. The Accurate web site shows exhaust for B and E bodies. I might have missed something there. The owner of the local Exhaust Pro has done several muscle car exhaust systems. If I was pursuing and exact restoration, I would do the aftermarket exhaust replica...

Here is a photo of how the 340 'Cuda decal looks on the fender. I don't plan on replacing it. Curt

I had found a clutch and pressure plate, purchased, and then the post office manage to lose them in shipping! I got the box, with no clutch or pressure plate in it. Probably will never be found. UPS from now on parts! Lesson learned. I did manage to find another package deal on a clutch...

I will get a photo this evening of the stripe and decal placement and post. Pa karp

Oh yah! I am anticipating getting it on the road again. Even the 'ex is going to share the front seat again, for a short time! lol. Nah, she wants to drive it and I will let her do that. Not a problem! Pa karp

Tom, South Dakota and Iowa stickers. Good conversation pieces! Pa karp

Original "survivor" paint as it came from the factory. I am going to drive it this way for awhile. Pa karp

Just waiting for the cam, everything else is done for the engine. Cam should be here this week, then the engine will go together. The engine will consist of the original block, crank, rods, heads, intake, carb and exhaust manifolds. The compression ratio will be at about 9.1 so the motor...

Parts are starting to show up. I have been working on the brakes, replaced the front drums and one wheel cylinder. Next project is to pressure wash the engine compartment. If it looks good enough, going to leave it "as is". I am more and more leaning toward doing the car as a "survivor" and...

I have ordered a Chet Herbert (Doug) cam that is very close to the 68 cam specs. It should work well with a 4 speed. The part number for the cam kit is HERCLE3N. The Chet Herbert part # was E3N-F/T HYD CAM. Pa karp

Tom, Found one, thanks for the offer! Pa karp

I am sure a lot of you have read the "Welcome" forum on the pursuit of my 'Cuda that I purchase new in 1969. I was able to find and purchase the car and have started on the rebuild/restoration of the car. I thought I would start a new thread in the restoration forum as to the progress of...

I was fortunate to be able to buy one new! I ordered a Yellow one, black stripes on the hood, '340 Cuda in black on the quarter panels. It was a 4 speed with 3:91 Sure Grip. It would run 14:50's all day long. I won several trophies with it at Thunder Valley in Marion, SD. The 1st came at...
