Ahh Im very familiar with Maple Grove been going there since the 80s and still do :)

Welcome. I bought an orange and black duster in 1988 for 100 dollars drove it away it was a slant 6 car. They were "throwaways " back then...

Uncle Tonys car died so he wont be making it...:thumbsup:

As an aside thought, I bet there aren't many left in the USA that even know how t cast anything these days...dying art form.

Uncle Tony claims his "flambe'd" itself...

Well I guess well never know unless the OP tears the entire drivetrain down and has it all laid out piece by piece on the bench... :lol:

Could always jump the neutral switch with a paper clip see if she cranks...

Piston slap the clearance is removed by heat expansion of the metal.

The cool/wow factor...people love that 70 Swinger with the dual scoops chrome tips and go wing...

Shouldnt be too bad at all Im thinking...

Jump the relay with a screwdriver or remote start switch.

How bout power to the start relay? Is it a green wire? I forget I think blue is to the coil and green to the start relay however should get power when key is turned.

Its funny how over the years "money" got alot of people into the Mopar game ...

I dont particularly care for them but I would pick one up and make a 1/4 mile drag car out of it. The price of an A body roller is a bit through the roof these days. Meaning something you can throw a drivetrain in and go...

My dad had a 66 Coronet that caught on fire in the dash this was about oh...1972 or 3...

Hey nows, I like Corvettes. I like that body style with metal bumpers and a big block up to 72 I believe. As for the Superbird, I believe people who bought them actually Swapped 70 Road Runner or sattelite front grilles on them because they werent very popular in the looks dept in 1970.

Yup its always sad when the party ends...

I had the same experience with a 318. I believe its the heads holding it back 318s though the lift of the stock cam is just under .400 so it is a bit of an upgrade.

No title probably ...in my area if they are that cheap that's usually the case...

Slants have a devoted following for sure.

It always comes down to do you want to drive it or work on it

I'm sure there are options out there may be pricey though as the manufacturers don't sell them like pancakes. Just how it goes...

Tear it down inspect the parts for wear, take measurements to determine if machine work is needed and to what extent. Take notes then proceed from there. If it can be cleaned up honed reassembled with a master overhaul kit that's good. That's usually not the case though but you don't know till...

340? I like 340...! :thumbsup:

I installed a flat tappet cam in a 5.0 Ford in 2017 no issues...

So, I shouldn't throw away the very low run time used lifters i bought 30 years ago then...? only ever used to run an engine on the stand never went down the road...?

Watch the video it isn't the pipes its the leafs wrapping up at first I figured he removed the snubber so he'd have problems and Tony would win...kind of like Andy wood had problems and Tony won etc. It explains why DDG posted a video after the race of installing a snubber but it doesn't mean...

A grand these days isn't worth complaining about... when it comes to anything. i was just telling the wife "to get e new washer and dryer I think we are looking at 1600..." use to be 800 or a grand did it...I said in an earlier post a running 340 is worth 3 grand. I'm building one now I may have...

What was the deal with the leaf springs winding up didn't look right to me Mopars launch better than that. I'm not being a dick I truly don't know just looking to learn racing isn't my area of expertise. I truly believe DDG could have granny shifted that Demon on street tires and beat Uncle...

the problem is I could rebuild one and show receipts and someone would say it isnt professionally built even though I am a retired ase tech. Low ballers galore in the mopar world I figure a running 340 is worth 3 grand but that's just me I have one on the stand now in mock up I can crank it by...
