Like purple micro-dot?

I'm glad you got on here. We have a lot of new members on here and your story should be brought to the top every once in awhile. Sorry for everything you went thru. A lot of guys over on FBBO seem to really like ole Jammie, to bad for them.

I wouldn't do any business with Passon. There is a 19 page post on here about the A855-5 Speed by Matthon. It's about all the **** he had to go thru. You better sit down and take the time to read all 19 pages. It started on Aug 26, 2019- Nov 11, 2023. It might save you some grief!

i have the part numbers from those 5 year 999'2. In 78 was the first year for lockup, so they came either way that year. And after that I don't know.

I have 4 999's from 74-78 Cordoba's and Magnums, and they all have the PK numbers on them. Sometimes they didn't get the stamping very deep, like can't see it at all.

I have found that the blue Fel-Pro timing cover gasket have more of a tendency to leak than the black ones do. Take it for what it is worth.

You can't use the 72 heads on the 86 block if you are using the factory style roller cam. The roller cam heads have a .660 diameter pushrod hole while the flat tappet blocks had a .500 diameter pushrod hole. The roller lifters are longer, requiring shorter pushrods which puts them at more of an...

That, and the pretty big-boobed German girls.

I'd give anything to be 30 years younger and go to the Oktoberfest in Munich.

When I was a kid, I hated Polka-my mom always listened to it on Saturdays. She was German on both sides, so I guess. Then about 30 some years ago, I started getting interested in WW2 and the Big Band music didn't seem so bad. I actually like it now. So GO girl-have fun!

Partly because roller cam retrofit to a non roller cam block is more expensive. Solid roller will be most expensive. It all depends what you have planned for the car. If I was using a 318, I would use a hydraulic roller cam. If you use your 86 block, just buy a cam for that and stock replacement...

You say partly because of political climate in Oregon. I assume you will vote red in Florida. Good luck on your decision. There's nothing more shitty than someone from a blue state moving to a red state and continue to vote blue.

Be better to use the 86 block, should be a roller cam engine.

The long straight one is the right side-B,C, and E body 383-440, 66-72. The 383-440 mounts have longer legs.
