What Are You Doing To/With Your Car Today?
Lol, Thanks Al,
Not running a machine shop here . . yet.
Just have a lot of engines sitting around that needed to be gone through. Been so hot here this Summer, so good time to do them in the shop with the AC going.
Building 3 mostly stock 360s with the 340 grind cams here lately. The silver 360 was a .040 over buildable engine that I got down in Melbourne Florida at the Mopar Swap 5 years ago, it was for sure getting time to finish that one.
Got 2 core 318s to build yet. Got a set of factory 9.2:1 1968 pistons that go on the full floater rods. This particular build is getting the 302 closed chamber heads, 340 cam, and the much sought after LD4B intake manifold. My friend Brian wants this build to be an exact duplicate to his '69 318 in his '72 Duster. Performs nicely.
Brian's 1969 318
302 Heads, 340 Cam, 9.2:1 factory pistons.
Yep LD4B intake too
Takes a lot of time to get everything cleaned up. Have cam bearing tools and valve grind tools that were donated to us from an old mopar dude just before he passed. So I am sure he is smiling looking down on us knowing they are being put to good use.
So yeah, do my own heads, polish the crankshafts, hone the cylinders, pretty much everything done in house here.
Brian built a high buck 340 for one of his cousins at his place in Farmington. And also a 1967 383 that is going in our friend's '67 Dart.
So Yeah, we are doing some engine stuff here lately. Built the 318 in my truck too a year ago, like that setup a lot.
Engine Run Stand has been working out nice to break in the engines once they are built.
I like the run stand, can final tune the engines and address any leaks that may show up. All set to go then.
Test Run Stand for carbs and ignition testing, been having fun with that too.
Thanx
George Jets
