Well the Jensen museum was a total loss, after ringing them to confirm what I was getting they sent just a set of main bearings NO big end bearings, really miffed. So the old big end bearings have been refitted. The block is now all painted, new two piece timing cover fitted, new water pump...

Finally the exhaust valves arrived this week, so todays task was to reassemble the heads, lapped all the valves, new stem seals and reassembled, however, I can’t bolt them on to the block just yet as when I looked closer at the big end bearings I could see some odd marks so decided to get a new...

A couple of photos of the engine. originally painted Orange, now ground off all the casting numbers to get a bit of a smooth look and primed in 2K polyester primer. Once I get the heads back together I will bolt them on and spray the whole lot with 2K gloss black.

Hi me again, sorry for the absence but life just seems to get in the way. Still not got any photos to share as yet but will do soon honest. Anyway, I was cleaning the block up and ended up down a rabbit hole and ground all the block as smooth as I could for painting purposes and in doing so I...

Thank you for the very warm welcome. I am currently doing a bit of forum searching so as not to start a new thread on something that may already have been covered, having said that, I’m not brilliant with computers, I get by but am slow:lol: If I post up some photos should I start a thread in...

Hi, reason for the title is that I don’t have a mopar as such but saw something on this site when googling something. I’ve been in to cars since the late 70’s and had all sorts of things over the years and currently run a GMC K2500 Suburban with a 454 lump as well as a 79 Vette with a 350 and...
