Good Morning
You just don't find this stuff has to be a chevy guy!
polliwog
As long as that equals mass quantities of torque that's not a problem right?? That's got to be a heavy car.
what's included in that last one?
Sorry for the dumb question here, is that a polly 318?
Poly 318
Pickup, plate, reluctor and the roll pin think cap clips also were in the last one. Stole the dam thing. Those condensers are hard to find got the whole box under $20 1938-54
Not really heavy. The 65 Post car has a curb weight of 3220
318 poly push button transmission
Actually... no. not really. I already have 2 spare 440s, 2 spare big block push buttons transmissions with correct driveshafts and a spare original 64 big block radiator. The 318 poly has to be rebuilt regardless. For now, I'm swapping in the running spare 318 poly I have. But I want to eventually rebuild the original engine but poly rebuild costs are no joke, 3 times that of a 440. custom pistons are required and I've been quoted anywhere from 1100 to 1500 alone for those. My forged pistons for my 440 were barely 400.. with rings.
the 64 b bodies only weigh about 80-100 pounds more than a 70-76 A body.
my 64 polara 4 door weighed in at just over 3400 pounds on our bean scales. granted its missing probably 100 pounds of sheet metal floors lol
Wow, thought that it would be more than that, that's good! If you put the 440 in don't forget the wheelie bars : )
my roll cage kit came finally for the dart! now I can start mocking it up.
Hey! It's Summer!
It's been summer!
Changed a few boards on the deck yesterday.
Rainy start today.
Thought it might be dried up in time to do more today, but not likely. Clearing up, but still a light drizzle. Oh well guess it's a take-it-easy morning.
poly-spherical shaped combustion chamber. The Early Hemi head thoughts...
The shape of the combustion chamber. It actually makes more power than the LA 318s. It just is HEAVY
essentially, you can actually bolt early hemi heads onto the poly with some minimal clearance-ing of the block, provided you can find them.
