But American jobs do....

God bless you...

The original BOS for the '68 Charger R/T I was buying from Dodge City (Milwaukee) in '68. I worked there as a line mechanic doing A/C and front end work.... didn't buy the car because my insurance would have been $1100.00 per month!!!

My friend has his sisters '72 Charger at his shop and the alternator deal is killing him. Got two of the wrong alternators from the parts house he works for...not sure if the car ever had the correct alternator on it since his sister bought the car. I've steered him this way to help him out...

Not sure of it's origin...

No joke...

Correction...Joe is running a Noonan Hemi now... Noonan 4.8" Alcohol

I think Joe is running a Proline widebore which uses an Alan Johnson block and heads. They build a Hemi version which is pricier and more expensive to maintain. $77,000 IIRC. Used ones are around $50K. Several guys are running the Hemi version. They might use a BBC waterpump and valve covers...

When I was in the high dollar vintage car biz hauling for my brother's dealership I saw the value of mid-60's Ferrari's drop $1,000,000 in one year. Now they are thru the roof again.

Beware lifter prices have gone up to pay for the tooling investment made the company who now makes the lifter body castings. If the price is cheap they are likely import lifters.

And if you go thru dart19666 you get a FABO discount.

Would you believe I was reading that the top rod bearing actually has more load than the lower...I think it was on the Bill Miller Engineering site...

Shop foreman called today....cant believe he asked me if they were to bore just one cylinder (the one they sleeved) or all eight...cuz he only had one piston for the block. I supposed better safe than sorry...

Well my King’s certainly were not inexpensive. But if you look at the modded oil hole and U groove plus the coating I think I will be happy with them.

Ford sold T&C three speeds to GM for 442, GTO and Gran Sports. Lots of GM steering pumps and steering boxes in Ford and Mopars. Packard used GM Hydramatics. AMC bought parts from everybody.

Not too long ago there were four Aamco two post lifts on CL for $600.00 each... helluva deal.

You really have aged well... just shorter than I had imagined

A good layer of tape over the Valve seats helps keep those “oops” moments to a minimum.

Buy a sheet of gasket material and make your own.

Those 232 sixes were hot!

Don't know...just my guess....

I remember having a three sided ruler that made it easier to do complex math by providing all sorts of shortcuts and info... I barely got by 2x2=5 before I gave up.

Geez this is an old thread... same story still don't have my block back. BUT my heads are dome with new Manley valves, 11/32 guides, fresh 5 angle, skim cut on the heads. The shop needs to borrow a SBM fixture to finish the block. They have a new Rottler CNC and didn't realize their new...

I really feel sorry for Headbytes... I do. The guy obviously likes to port heads. And he's a legend in his own mind (most of us are!). But his backyard techniques and out and out fraud means he has no credibility anymore. I pride myself on doing most of my own work over the last 60 years. I...

SAome of these are Charles Sanborns...other are from Cageman and, maybe, 340king from that orum and others. I think Cageman is a member here. Anyway these pix explain a lot that the text just can't do without photos.

Pix on that post are long gone. Got lost when a server was replaced. I have some saved if you want me to post them.
