The wife's real statement was: "You put that JUNK on my clean floor?!?"

Saw this in Charlottesville VA CL..... the seller at least 'talks the talk' of Mopar. 1965 Plymouth Barracuda Project Car

If cranks 'drooped' lying on their sides, then they would droop even worse hung from a rack on one counterweight. Letting them fall over or drop is the problem!

"The dog ate my welder, teacher." LOL

FWIW for those considering an Edelbrock heads or intake purchase....Autozone has another sale going on for on-line orders. It is 20% straight discount + another 10% on a gift card. Shipping in the US is free; you pay sales tax if they have any business presence in your state. And I don't work...

A common issue in rallying.... hitting trees sideways. A way to set up the seats better is to run 2 smaller tubes sideways across the floor for the seat to bolt to. Weld the outer ends to a sill tube preferably, or the rocker if no sill bar is installed; put the other ends through slightly...

Enjoy! http://www.tvraaca.org/gasoline1935i.htm

It can flip over pretty violently if something breaks and the internals' rotational momentum suddenly whacks up inside the block and transfers all the energy there....so it can happen and has. The bracing is a good idea; you will only need it 'just in case'.....

Hmmmm.... Exactly how a slick scammer type would respond..... just sayin'. I would say report it to CL.

The AZ discounts that run every week or 2 are the best deals I have found in the last half year for new Edelbrock parts.....Edlebrock reportedly stopped their distributors from offering deep discounting specifically on Edelbrock parts back around July of this year. When AZ runs their 35% gift...

If I was stuck with this choice, here is how I would try to make the best of it: Based on working through the numbers, if you got a low duration, moderate lift cam like the Lunati Voodoo 10200700, install it with 2 more degrees cam advance than how it comes ground, AND shave the 360 heads by...

The OP has only $800-1000 to work with and realistically 5 months maximum. He needs suggestions that will help him in this budget and time frame. This is limiting and will put him on a path that is likely to be suboptimal if he were starting from scratch and going for max HP, but it is what it...

We had primed the new 340 on the stand OK, but once in the car, we had to add a remote filter mount because of too tight a header clearance; even the 1348 mini-filter would not fit. So I wanted to re-prime the engine to clear the new remote filter lines and adapters of air. We had a different...

I worry less about particles getting through the pump and filter than one or two dropping down on the crank and wedging into the side clearance of the journal. Not a high probability either way IMO, and plenty of worn lobe cams have been changed out without the engine being torn down. So if it...

I never realized that Vice Grips are an approved tool for bending AT cooler tubing. Sure would save time...... Any idea why there was a complaint that the trans was not cooling properly......??

Exactly.....hope the OP can get it sorted out. New 340 break-in coming soon here, so keep an eye out for some stories from this neck of the woods!

At a minimum......Get some chains or cable, 2 per car, about 4-5m long and jack the cars up carefully, and used the chains/cables and come-alongs to connect the lower front area to the lower rear area. The floors and subframe area completely rusted through and the floors have collapsed; that is...

With all the talk of break-in oils these days, I happened to read the fine print on a Crane cam card from 1974 and it recommended the use of Kendall oil during cam break-in. For those who don't know, Kendall is now Brad Penn.....'the green stuff'.... still oft recommended for break-in. The more...

I dunno, but someone installed the stairs in your house wrong.....LOL

Yeah... going from cans to plastic bottles is like going from steam engines to diesel locomotives.... it loses something even though the function is the same.

Found this on the shelf, still fresh in the can! No need for Joe Gibbs.....I just need 3 more quarts......LOL

You are a man of good taste, barbee..... yes, you need another project! C'mon out the Shanandoah Valley of VA, and I'll let you drive mine for free.....with proper supervision of course! LOL It's just a plain-jane 225, 3-on-the-tree, 4DR, but it IS a '62. Maybe this will help you......

BTW, the KB243 pistons have a step up on the piston that can be used to fill that gap to some degree. You will still have to do some decking or head shaving (about the thickness of the head gasket or a bit more) to get it down to a usable quench gap with the open head.

Would you be willing to work with some parts from down south here int he USA?

2003 tires are going to be (relatively) very hard; the rubber slowly cures even as it sits. Using tires beyond 6-7-8 years old can be iffy.

I was working up a new crank/rod/piston combo last week and did a lot of digging on the internet. Had to run down the pin info on 2 or 3 different sites to get all the numbers. Seems like the 318 went to a heavier rod in '73 or thereabouts but don't quote me on that; I'll be looking at that...

The 273 2 bbl and 273 4 bbl (hipo) had different piston pin weights to compensate for the 39 gram difference in the 2bbl and 4bbl pistons. The extra 24 grams going from the 273 4 bbl piston to the 318 piston was also compensated by lowering the pin weight. Engine: Rod+pin+piston=total 273 2...

The same or a similar 'Pirate' car was on there last year at a lower price, as a roller as I recall.

Yeah, I know, RRR... not just trying to start a new drama thread....LOL. Just trying to gain knowledge to understand and predict things better. If you can believe it, I understand things like how the electromagnetic field impedance changes from an antenna to free space (crazy, hunh?).... so I...

OK, so I have been around for a few decades in this and always accepted the idea that flow velocity is important in cylinder head ports. But I got to wondering if flow velocity is the really important thing or is it suction through the ports that is important. I don't pretend to know the answers...
