Before and after

The only time mine ever said anything was when I fired up the new engine in the garage and it rattled the pictures off the walls.

I'll stand on the side and watch.

Normal.

I've had two Cummins trucks, a V10 and two Duramax trucks. I loved my V10, pulled my trailer just fine but it wasn't a 4wd otherwise I'd probably still have it. Getting a 30 ft enclosed trailer into my yard proved to be too much to ask of it. I loved my Cummins trucks also. I also really...

I love my enclosed trailer. It keeps my car cozy when not in use and it keeps me out of the sun when the car is out of it. Cabinets, work bench, generator, air compressor, it's all good. I've even slept in it a couple times. lol

This thread is just wrong in so many ways. **sigh** I guess spelling is a lost art these days ...

Welcome, we build them the way we want them. (((don't tell anybody but my car is painted a Ford color, shhhh)))

Worse yet epoxy the switch in? Jebus guys. You can get a heli-coil for any thread pitch and size. As far as the taps go they are close but not quite the same as standard taps. I've proven this to myself on several occasions. For instance a Heli-coil tap for a 5/16-18 thread bolt hole looks...

Just drill and tap it for a heli-coil. Use Vasoline on the drill bit and the tap, that will catch most all of the shavings. What it doesn't catch is just aluminum so it won't hurt anything.

If you put a colder stat in the computer will tend to run it richer, it thinks it's cold so although performance may be up just a tad fuel mileage will be down. Cylinder head temp is not just dependent on coolant temp. Think combustion chamber temperature. So not much help there.

They are prone to sludge because the factory runs the cylinder head temp higher for emissions. You see when they design an engine they need to make it for at least 10 years to recoup the cost of development. So they run the cylinder head temp up so it will be able to meet emissions at least 10...

Really good looking car. Nice job. I would love to see it in person. Hey since you're in Cocoa do you know the guys at Brevard Cylinder Head?

Mine looked worse than that when I got it. Pulled it out of a junkyard for $300.

Well there's my sig pick. I can't post any other pics from work.

Dude, you live in Kentucky where silver duct tape around the windshield is acceptable chrome trim! lol Just pokin' fun man, if you can't laugh you got nothing. I'll admit I've had some nice cars in my time but I sacrificed a lot for them, ate ramen noodles for dinner every night for years. I'm...

I quit buying Mopar mags decades ago for anything other than to peruse the advertisements to see what is new out there.

I'm not as smart as David Reher is when it comes to this type of thing. There's no denying they make some serious horsepower no matter what brand it is.

I say probably not. I read an article by David Reher in National Dragster once that addressed this very question and his answer was no, whatever increased resistance there is to opening the valve is negated by that same force in closing the valve.

My friend and I built the whole car, the only thing we didn't do ourselves was the final body prep and paint. Lots of pics in this thread. http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=16657

But, but it has an AWESOME snorkel scoop!!

It's a 2x3 chassis car with Strange front struts and a four link rear.

OK more pics. Had the car out with the tunnel ram, I think it's lean because it was faster with the air filters on than with the scoop so some tuning is in order. Otherwise it's only maybe a tenth faster in the 1/8.

The hood is satin black and I have the satin black bumble bee stripe for the back

It still needs some work but I'll post better and more pics when it's together.

Just got it out today, still have to put it back together.

George is old enough to be suffering from dementia by now. Poor guy.

:blink:blink:

I've said it before and I'll say it again. The use of green bearings was originally to install a spool as the spool has no floating block in it so the axle end play could be adjusted. It really was that simple, so the original intended purpose of the green bearings was for drag use. Do some...

Probably needs a set of those radio tires too. lol
