LOL already have one need to do a rear seal on it!

Fun. I haven't figured out the source yet. Looks like its coming from higher up, but behind the valve covers is dry. I'm hoping its the intake, but again doesn't look like it. That leaves the plugs in the back of the block - which I really hope its not. (AMC engine)

Oh gee. Aren't there later 340/360 a-body exhaust manifolds that aren't terribly desirable? That's will be the easiest and cheapest IMO. No need for heat shielding and header coatings/wraps, and parts store exhaust will bolt up.

Start here: The 340 manifolds through -70 are the ones that sometimes command high prices. The 71 up 340s not quite so much.
Exhaust Manifold Casting #'s - CORRECTED 340 #'s

That's what I'd do

Pretty much my plan of getting the car running this weekend has been squished and squashed, and had a dog come by and pee on it.

So now I am in the mode of taking my time and since I have another payday coming from another deal I am in, i am now thinking of headers and exhaust and manual steering conversion. .........

Good morning everyone. The one pint sized latte is empty. It's time to go do something constructive.

As long as the pooch didn't pee in it, unless your being euphamistic...

It really all depends on your end goals. Headers are a decent cost/benefit ratio if you intend to race or compete in timed events where power is needed. Other than that, IMO the money and time can be better spent on other things, including (if allowed) retuning as a mostly desmogged engine.

Worked on degreeing the camshaft in, on this Poncho Stroker yesterday, 455 stroked to 469, Maybe a little tame, bit it should have longevity. Around 600 hp

I have heddman shorty headers on the 360 Magnum in my GTS with power steeering. They fit great and perform well.

Just saw this on FBBO, wow, just wow!
1968 Dodge Charger project. sell or possibly trade?

Only way that car is worth anything, IF it was a original Hemi car, with all numbers still matching. IMO. THEN it would be a re builder..

 

[Mopar Tim]

You going to make a appearance hopefully?

Hoppy, you install the Office program yet?

More like a tie. I agreed to get a dog if we could find one that I wasn't allergic to. It took a while, but this guy passed all the tests and I don't have any allergic response to him.

She is happy and so am I.

[goldfish65]

Aw, that is great. I am glad it turns out you are not allergic to all dogs. Great mix he is.

Just about time to head into work. This is my 'regular' every other Saturday shift.

Just did my Christmas tradition, bourbon balls. A double batch still only made 60 and they go fast, people are happy when they see them on the table. Nap time, then work.

He looks like a nice pup Dave and it looks like your daughter thinks that too.

I just trimmed and put a little rub on the brisket for tomorrow. It is a big one and I better put it on the smoker around 5 am if I want it to be done by 6 . It needs to rest for at least an hour after it comes off.

Bourbon sounds good... Hold the balls
