The Jalopy Journal
Thanks for the heads-up. I'll read up more on that when I get the chance. I originally had ordered a Lakewood, but no one had one in stock at the...
I hope I don't disappoint!!! But I am going to run what everyone called a boat anchor for a engine!!
Man!!! I am jealous!!! Every time I find something like that,, I am either broke, or the item is junk!!! Congrats on such a awesome find!!
I always wanted a J or Allstate! Just wouldn't want one with a Olds in it!
I do understand the health issues,, I was diagnosed with AS back in September. Since then I've lost about 30% of my flexibility and stay in...
I'm looking forward to getting this beast done! Hoping to get this Olds engine to somewhat compete with these guys.
I would like to be there today! Always a great show!
Worked on the tunnel ram opening today.[ATTACH][ATTACH]
Column is finished. Just need to tie in one joint and the steering is done.[ATTACH]
Finished up the column mounts this evening. Hides nicely under the factory bezel.[ATTACH][ATTACH]
I'm going to try my best to take y'all through the whole build process with the engine. Will try on the body work. That will be a job I'm going...
The Battens I'm using are off a friend's dragster. It was the fastest and quickest Olds powered vehicle in the world. We have several cracks to...
Been working on the upper column mount today, along with some clearance issues with the tunnel ram. 1 st pics will be column, the other...
Our lil piece of dirt in NW Alabama![ATTACH]
Ok, the best I ever pulled was on a friend of mine that owned a parts store. It took about 2 months to set this up. He was always accusing a...
NOPE!!! She despises my toys! So I buy more!!! Lol!
What's the dates on this event?? I'm 3 1/2 hrs away from Bowling Green. I'd like to attend this one!
The one I miss the most is a Olds 455 I put together out of stuff I had laying around my shop. I used a set of STD 455 Pontiac pistons and a set...
Yeah, this will be a interesting project. No one cast a tunnel ram for a small block Olds. Much less with Battens. As soon as I get the other head...
Picked up this little thing today. I'm going to be cutting on the firewall some more!![ATTACH]
Thanks guys!! It's a good feeling to be able to pass this along! None of my kids could care less!! I blame it on Thier mom! Lol
Ready for line bore and hone!![ATTACH]
I didn't think when I was asked before about the operations between the D and DX. The DX has one more major job to be done. The lifter bores need...
The 1st 2 pics show you the difference between the D and DX blocks. With the D's they had a problem with cap walk with over 22-1 compression...
Yes, both take the same operations. The D block will have 1 more that can be done with a hand drill. I'll post pics of what needs to be done later...
That pretty much covers it. The cost of making the rear cap and fitting it to the block plus the time. The money could be better spent somewhere...
This is the final product. We have about 5 of these to do!! It's how we pay to play!![ATTACH][ATTACH]
Never,,,ever,, been told that before! Lol titanium? Two rusty 5/16 nuts maybe!!
Very loosely bolted together.[ATTACH]
Today I started off with Little Richard, Chuck Berry, early Elvis. By the end of the work day I was listening to the Guess Who and Jefferson...
