Just when I thought I was done with the model building hobby, I went to a Model Car Show and swap meet Sunday and picked up a 71 Duster 340 kit (I need the motor for my 66 Barracuda project) a 69 Barracuda (not sure why?) and a 58 Plymouth Belvedere (may try a wild version of Christine??) all...

I like the Police Captain to win but the English guy or the gal would be fine also

as promised here is a few show pics When I find the time i will post them all in my Gallery The only Early Barracuda there

Went to the Portland Roadster Show Saturday. Lots of great cars (I will post some picks later) John D'Agostino, Darryl Starbird, George Barris and Gene Winfield were there signing autographs. $5 for a 8X10 and $5 for the autograph. I feel like paying for an autograph takes the fun out of it...

Back in the early 70's when I worked at a Chrysler/Plymouth Dealership a fellow in a older station wagon coasted up to the shop entrance and said the engine just died. Apparently that noise he heard a awhile back was his gas tank falling off.

Haven't seen that since I was a Lil Tyke thanks for posting

then there was these

I went there to pick up a harmonic balancer for my 318 build. They told me last week on the phone they had some for $40, when I got there all they had is some old cores for $20. Wish they would have told me over the phone. I ended up buying a new one for $75. It was worth the 50 mile drive to...

Made my first trip out to Wildcat Auto Parts today They have early barracudas stacked up like cord wood One must be a old wood burner and found a neat drag car

Anyone make it to a Hot Wheels K Day event today? I found a few I liked and I really like the 68 Hemi Cuda, it looks red in the pic but its mare of a purple color. This one was a K Day only color car

Watched that episode today, funny stuff noticed a lot of neat cars on it

yeah your right on the over/under. .0025" sounds right The pan was already installed but the gasket was pushed out on the end so I pulled the pan to redo it. figured I would check things out while I was in there. Glad I did the oil pickup was loose and after I checked the crank numbers I...

I bought a rebuilt short block and was told the crank was .020 over and the rods were resized to .020 over. I do have the paperwork from the machine shop so I know it was done. I plan on checking the rod and main cap bolts torque just to double check them. Should I use some plasti gage and check...

thanks for all the replys looks like FelPro it is

what type/brand gaskets work best for a early 70's 318 ? basically a stock motor with a aftermarket aluminum intake. I was told that the composite work better than the steel on the intake and rubber worked better than cork on the valve covers.

As I posted earlier my nephew was giving me a low mile truck 360 minus heads and intake with a car pan and also some rebuilt 318 heads to go on it, those I picked up today. Well last weekend I picked up a rebuilt 318 short block for $200 and I also bought some low mile 318 heads. So now the plan...

Over Forty? My Kids are over forty. There were allot less stuff for a kid growing up in the fifties. Only toys I can remember were plastic army men and Lincoln logs. One of the first cars I ever drove was an old 50's Chrysler wagon with a Slushomatic , (Kind of an automatic with a clutch) No TV...
