Went and looked at an engine that was listed on Craigslist yesterday. The listing said it was a 318 with a 904 transmission and the asking price was $100. Showed up at the address and the house seemed deserted and there was a for sale sign in the yard but there was a car in the driveway. When I...

Found this while perusing the bag. Thought I'd post it up since the auction ends pretty soon. Anybody interested in a '63 Valiant wagon, subframe connecters installed, floorpans replaced, new quarters and bumpers included, slant powered, with a blower sticking through the hood? If so check it...

Will it fit in an engine bay that is 32" from firewall to radiator support? Width is not an issue...

Have truck will travel (at least a little ways). Looking for a 273 within 200 miles of Cincy, OH. Only need a block that will clean up with a max overbore of .050", so if that's all you have, let's talk. If you have a complete engine but want it gone, let's talk. Wanting to make a non...

Got this today in the Rock Auto newsletter and thought I would pass it along.... The ZAZ Zaporozhets was the Soviet Union's least expensive car. More than 3 million "Zappos" with air-cooled, rear mounted engines were built at the ZAZ factory in the Ukraine from the 1960s until the early...

Much better outcome this time. This is how it should go down... http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/sideshow/burglar-calls-911-himself-163618126.html

Anybody see this article yet? http://news.yahoo.com/minn-man-says-fired-more-shots-needed-183741818.html It's about a guy in Minnesota who shot 2 teenagers who broke into his house while he was in the basement. More of this needs to happen so we can feel safe in our own homes. The outcome is...

Got a 360 crank and rods today and am wondering what I have. The part number on the crank is 402716 and the number on the rods is 3468145. The rod journals look like they should clean up @ .010" under but one main journal has a groove I can catch a fingernail on. Would this be a good candidate...

Like the title says, I am looking for a 170 slant block. If you have one that has been overbored to the max, has a cylinder that is too scarred up to fix, or you're just tired of tripping over it and you don't want to junk it, give me a shout. Just need the block with all the main caps intact...

Yesterday a very sad thing happened. Hester (my '66 Valiant) spit the number 5 rod out of the oil pan. This is after spending the last 2 months getting a new clutch and a working tranny installed (1 clutch swap, 2 tranny swaps). It could be worse, at least all I have to do is decide which engine...

Will a '73 torque converter bolt up to a '66 crank or is the snout too big? If it matters, this is going on a slant. Thanks in advance.

Even after the recent Super Bowl victory of the New Orleans Saints, I have noticed a large number of people implying with bad jokes that Cajuns aren't smart. I would like to state for the record that I disagree with that assessment. Anybody that would build a city 5 feet below sea level in a...

Kudos to pha pha. He sent me the kickdown and throttle linkage off his '66 Signet and here is what he had to say about payment: "No charge. It was only $10.00 to ship. The advice you gave was well worth it. Thanks again." By the way, he is looking for a pair of tail light lenses for a '63...

Anybody ever hear of an outfit called People to People International? Supposedly started in 1956 by President Eisenhower. My youngest son, Luke, has been invited to attend a World Leadership Forum in Washington, D.C. for a week this summer. Just wondering if they are legit enough for me to sell...

Happy birthday for all the members who share this special day. Extra special shout out to Xcptshnl1, who I have the distinct honor and privilege of calling my wife. :love7::love7: Happy Birthday and may you have many more to come. I would be lost without you. Everybody have a great day and try...

My brother in law sent me this email. He is employed by American Showa in Delaware, OH as a production specialist and basically keeps the plant running and producing shocks and struts for almost all the manufacturers in this country. Don't know about you, but I find this extremely disturbing if...

Took the boys fishing again. This time we went to a farm pond that Papaw knew about. The fish weren't very big but there was lots of 'em and they were hungry. The boys actually caught something this time and had a blast. I think they're hooked. They have been pestering me non stop about the next...

Finally got off my butt and swapped in the MP electronic ignition I've had for a couple of years now. Night and day difference in the old slant. 225, manual trans, 7 1/4" peg leg, and it absolutely fries the right rear from a rolling stomp. Not too shabby for a '66 4 door Valiant. If you are...

My wife, Xcptshnl1, is in the hospital with heart arrythmia. She woke me up around 4:30 this morning complaining of chest pains and shortness of breath. Took me a hot 2 seconds to whistle up the EMTs and get her to the ER. Just got back and decided to post. Thought Ya'll might want to know. She...

Did a little mod on my gas cap that just saved my bacon. By now you know how hard it is to find a replacement gas cap. A while back I decided to do something that may save a fruitless search. Took the bar off my gas cap and drilled 4, 3/8" holes in the back side of the bar. Epoxied rare earth...

Had a problem with my '66 Valiant turn signals that may be of help to you in the future. The dash indicator quit working on left turns. Checked the lights and the right front turn signal was not coming on. Right rear turn signal worked fine and the dash indicator worked as well. Changed out the...

In case you ever get to wonderin' if all the money and time we pour into this hobby is worth it, here's a little reminder. Right now I have a deliriously happy 13 year old 'cause he helped dad change a starter on the car. I broke all the fasteners loose and did the final tightening, but he did...

A group of Arkansas friends went deer hunting and paired off in twos for the day. That night, one of the hunters returned alone, staggering under the weight of an eight point buck. "Where's Henry?" the others asked. "Henry had a stroke of some kind. He's a couple miles back up the trail," the...

Just got back from a week in the woods and thought I would post a few pics from a side trip we took. Went to the state fish hatchery at Petersburg, WV where the golden trout was first discovered in the 50's. The first picture is a shot of the hatching shed and the grounds. The second is the...
