All blasted, welded and painted K member. Also note the cool limiter strap added early in the cars life. Bolts right to one of the factory motor mount hole locations on the block. Simple, effective!

A little extra weld definitely helps while you got it apart!

Little factory welding, ray Charles style. But notice the horseshoe reinforcement specific to the 340 cars.

@Scott_ 69HemiDart i think I might have some pictures not sent, I could do a photo dump of all the in progress stuff I have if you would like

You need to run the valve lash again sooner than later, unless you allready have. Car looks great on display!

Correct, trying to make sure he heard from other legitimate sources that it was gonna be a lot more expensive than originally expected. But at the end, scott didn't expect it to cost a lot, and I agreed to the reduced price because I felt bad for him, but it doesn't seem unreasonable to let...

Just for clarification, it's only been a few weeks, not "out of the woodwork after a year"

Well, I thought I would update the thread a bit, and highlight my shortcomings of keeping track of my labor hours. I, like many others, got caught up in the "coolness" of the build, and got all excited, almost forgetting I'm running a actual business. When I discussed the final cost with scott...

Really there was no one to blame but myself. I didn't document the time properly, and kinda screwed myself as a result. NOT Scott's fault, just frustrated at myself, really.

I realize I shouldn't have posted about this, it's just been bothering me for a long time. Bottom line is, the car is done, the customer is happy, end of story. My apologies to all you guys. Carry on!

Just wanted to explain my side of the story, as the builder, did it for pennies on the dollar, and I have nothing to say negative about the car owner, other than he was naive, and I got the short end of the financial stick.

AGAIN, not trying to throw scott under the bus, he didn't know what he was in for.

I'm guessing you know zero about a hemi engine huh?

It is 10.93

I was gonna say the EXACT same thing!

We can easily move them as required, no big deal

How about a bit of Hemi ****...just to keep everyone paying attention

That's totally up to him, but it would be a good way to get the carbs dialed in!

I believe Indy was bought out, so I heard, and the new owners are trying really hard to rebuild there image.

Some guys have all the luck!

Well, another minor update, and a possible clue as to it's short life on the drag strip. After a thorough thermal clean and blast on the heads, we discovered a chamber that had been previously damaged, and someone attempted to weld it. Unfortunately, it leaks like a garden sprinkler...

I told him we could leave the liberty pro shifted 4 speed in there, and he could experience wot, 7500 rpm HEMI-foot to the floor upshifts, and it would change his life outlook!!!

Progress!!!

For everyone following along waiting for an update, parts are trickling in, and got the block completely stripped and cleaned. She looks as near to fresh from '66 as you can get!

Hey @Maxcustody I think they caught on to our secret plan...

Got some parts in, but still waiting on a bunch, so not much to update yet on my end

So dude doesn't live in TX, where does he actually live?

Lol....that's some angle iron....

The mechanical pump was in use. No regulator or anything, so the rear pumps were either used previously, or perhaps as "booster" pumps. Zero evidence of any alcohol or nitro usage.

Dont remember the width, @Maxcustody has that in his notes. It's a car dana, not a truck. The front hanger had the inside flange cut off, moved over about a 1/2" and a hole drilled through the frame rail for the bolt. Then welded solid. The factory torque boxes were cut out and not replaced...
