Stop in for a cup of coffee

Good morning everyone. PT today then dropping the daily off for a brake job. Sucks being off but having to pay to have the work done. Oh well. Back to exercises.
 
Worked a interesting deal yesterday from a tempest find. This will be interesting I bareley know what I bought for $200. You do have to roll the dice once in a while.

Doing one for this beast.

This is for a '68 Barracuda
  • 225 long-rod slant-6 that should be about 225HP(still at the machinist shop). Intake is a Holley 390CFM 8007 4150 on top of an Offy intake + wiesco full-floater pistons @ 3.445" bore + lightweight valvetrain + oversized valves (1.75 & 1.45), 9.5 compression, double-roller timing set, and cammed by an OCG #346 (234/228 duration, 476/479 lift).
  • Ignition is electronic, with the HiRev-7500 box from Rick Ehrenberg (Mopar Action mag) + Pertronix FlameThrower #40511 coil.
  • Exhaust is an old-school Mopar 6:1 long-tube header feeding a single 2.25 pipe and Flowmaster big-block Delta 70 muffler.
  • Trans is a 904 with HD steels & frictions + TransGo FT1 kit + 2,800 stall street-converter by Andre (Edge Racing Converters).
  • Rear is an 8.25 with (currently) 2.45 changing up to 3.21 late in the fall perhaps. Running 24" tall tires (approx.).
  • I'm not at all a racer - but I do like torque. This is a cruiser that is on New England's hilly/twisty backroads (40-50 MPH) about 60% of the time and highway (65-70 MPH) the rest. I also live in a city, so traffic is common until I get past the city limits.
 
I shoulda taught the brat to drive my GMC, it had a 5 spd. She be would the exception to the new rule :lol:.
Ahh, what the hell, she got a '72 Swinger when all her buddies were drivin' ricers :lol:
 
My buddy has a home remodeling business. I gave him a list of what I needed done. He sent a couple guys over to take care of it. The one guy pulls out the list and is reviewing it with me. He stops and says "what does that say, you wrote in cursive and I'm having problems reading it"...haha!! And no it wasn't sloppy writing, I'll always remember the ruler across the knuckles for sloppy writing.
 

Can you imagine kids in grade school today, receiving the same corporal punishment we got when we were in school?? Holly crap there'd be an uproar...at least from the 50 and younger crowd. Maybe a little discipline might due the next generation some good, that is when they finally get back in school.
