    oil

    That's amazing I rebuilt a 455 and had it in a jet boat. I over revved it once and found out it spun a bearing. It was also pushing about 450-500 hp on a fresh rebuild. Maybe if i set everything looser it would have continued to run.

    oil

    I'm surprised that 455 had enough compression left to even run being that worn out.

    oil

    I use Mobil1 10w30 year round in so cal and have never had an issue. If you know so cal the weather goes from around 115 on the hottest days to mid 20's on the coldest days. And about the trans fluid. Trans fluid should only be added in place of your really expensive oil flush additives. Trans...

    Stupid things you have done

    I was doing a tune up on my 97 ram 1500 with the magnum 360 in it. not much room in those to get to the distributor (especially when it sits on a set of 35's) took the old cap and rotor and plug wires out, put the new rotor on, put the new cap on, put the new wires on. crank it over and nothing...

    Let's talk tools! What do you have? What couldn't you live without?

    I agree with that too. I would do nothing in the garage if it wasn't for the fridge.

    Show us your non-a body mopar daily driver

    I drive a company van during the week. On weekends if its raining or the cuda is being worked on I just picked up this 1988 F-150 with a 302. It's going to turn into a project as well. It will be built as an off road rig. It's a Ford because the price was right.

    Let's talk tools! What do you have? What couldn't you live without?

    I don't know what I would do without my welder. But like everybody is saying organization is key. I personally don't use air tools much probably because I don't have a good compressor. But that is the next big thing on the list.

    how did you learn to work on cars?

    I started at a really young age just watching my dad in the garage because he never wanted to pay to fix anything that was broken. If anything major ever went wrong it would be my dad, my grandfathers and myself fixing it. I of course would do the little things since I was so young but once I...
