Put me down for second in line for the heads. I’m near Fort Worth & can drive down to pick up

I went and inspected it personally. Very solid, not a spec of rust. I ended up passing on it and buying one about an hour away.

It’s a 70 Cuda originally from the US

I’ll be having it shipped, not bringing it over myself. I went up to Nick’s garage & checked it out this weekend. Actually looking for info on the whole purchase and shipping process. He was saying they don’t just sign the title over there like we do here in the US

I’m thinking of buying a car that’s in Quebec Canada. Does anyone have experience with having one shipped, or transporting one across yourself? At this point, that’s one of the main deciding factors on whether or not I get the car. I’ve shipped parts there & had parts shipped from there a few...

The unpainted one is the one that came out of the 904 (999). If I remember correctly, the purple one was in a race-built 904 I got about 15 years ago, so very well could be a lock-up converter. I never knew that the pump slots were different for locking & non-locking. Thank y’all for the info...

Is there a difference between the keyway on a 904 vs 999 torque converter? Reason I ask is because the purple torque converter that I’ve had laying around for years, thinking it was for a 904, will not fit in what I’m pretty sure is a 1985 999. Look at the difference in the slot sizes of the two...

Looking for a set of Hold downs for my rocker shafts for a ‘73 340 thank you

I sure did. Been in TX for about 5 years now

Bought it as a long block, so the intake was already off. It’s never been ran since it was rebuilt, so it still needs broken in. I was just making sure everything was clean before putting it together to run, when I noticed the cam lube was dry

Wow, this forum has really changed from when I used spend more time on it. A bunch of rude punks now. Can y’all feel a pic? It just looks like lube. It wasn’t until I touched it that I could tell it was dry. If you need a picture of a lubed cam, you probably shouldn’t be giving advice

It does kind of resemble really old cosmoline, maybe a little darker. I haven’t tried putting heat to it, but it does seam like it would melt off if I did.

I just bought a rebuilt 340 long block & noticed the cam lobes are covered with a waxy substance. It’s dry & kind of waxy feeling. It has been sitting for a while since the rebuild, so I’m thinking maybe it’s some kind of cam assembly lube that dried out or something. Is this a coating that’s...
