I'll take the belly full of beer anytime!

We get woodpeckers hammering on the front of our house, little bastards usually show up on the weekend, and we will often see ravens and magpies in the summer. My dog Charlie hates magpies, and they seem to know that since they are always taunting him.

Didn't know you had Magpies here in Canada. I thought that was a U.K. thing. They hate them over there. P.S. don't send any our way thank you
 
Hi guys .. well it's been snowing all day long. Not a lot but no sign of it easing up.
We have about three inches but it just keeps coming down slowly. I guess I know what my son is doing if he comes back here to sleep over LOL.
Have a great evening
 
Thank You, it's a 727 340 car, originated in Texas and ended up ln Minnesota, the color is Ford Royal blue. I bought it a long time ago. Has the original drive train but I've improved it alot, I have most of the original parts, some were already gone when I got it.

$200 shipped in the US I have know idea what the cost would be shipping out of the country.

With shipping, exchange rate, and border fees and Government Gratuities (Tax) you can almost double it but I'm sure there would be an oversize charge as well.
I'll guarantee it would be better built than some off-shore crap any day

Cost is 15 bucks to ship it and don't know about any other spoiler being built that fits a 73, 74 Valiant or Dart. I'll check..
 
Yea they make them to fit so gonna stop making them to sell. Much cheaper than mine but mine are one of a kind and hand made in the US but no one gives a **** anymore.
 
My son and me rebuilt the 340 last winter, looked almost brand new inside, stock bottom end, Lunati VooDoo cam 226/234, 494/513 lift, Edelbrock air gap, gasket matched to IMM,

RHS/INDY X heads, Edelbrock 800 AVS2 carb. rings and bearings, already have lifters ticking so I'm going to a solid cam at least a size bigger. I think it needed bigger cam anyways. I have a vacuum leak at the front china wall that I have to fix, that's when I'll change the cam. The dash is a mess, but I need a new wind shield and I'll pull the dash and paint it when I do the wind shield. Including a photo or two of my son helping me, couldn't have done it without him! Skinny little ****!

I like your sons attitude. LOL I need my boys to help me all the time on what ever I do. One of my boys is on his way here to visit me tonight and going to go flying my other sons plane tomorrow.
Nice interior on your car center console is hard to find in good shape anymore.

You sure about that @50 duration Jeff?
 
Thanks, He's a fine young man for sure, with my bad back and other problems, I'd be in a world of **** without him. Have fun with your son flying tomorrow.

Not real smart on cam size but I did learn from being beat down here on FABO on building an engine is not my best qualifications. And still learning that all my knowledge sucks compared to most on here. Best for me to just hang out and learn from others.
 
From all I've learned on here, I don't think the cam was big enough to take advantage of the heads, but it runs like a scalded dog, even with the vacuum leak!

Hard to beat a 340 no matter what is done to it. Should have kept mine I miss it.

Giving him a hard time I think it helps with the pain he's going through.
Get well soon brother.
