Please, not another 350 crate motor. How about an AMC 327?
I had a new Delco condenser leave me stranded recently. Engine would run, then die, then run again.
I got rid of the HF gun about 6 years ago and replaced it with one from Scat. Not a single clog issue since. The buckets on the floor were used...
Been following along; great thread. I would suggest that you take Mr. 48's advice and get the hell off the freeway at Ground Mound. Looks like a...
[ATTACH] I have a copy hanging on the shop wall.
Capt R.: The fact that your club has an historian says a lot in itself.
The full size cars in the 60's had threaded holes in front of the block, only on the left side for mounting a PS bracket. As Guthrie stated,...
Sandblasted, primed with Krylon and painted with Krylon. I have been using it since a teenager (and that is a lot of since) and love it. [ATTACH]...
I could be out-to-lunch here but I have never heard of a 300HP 327 for 1966. The 250 and 300 motors were dumped after 1965. The 1966 stuff was 275HP.
Like them all, Hemi.
I am with the greybeard. Why is every change called an "upgrade"? That car is in nice condition from what I can see. Clean it, do necessary...
A few of the 250 motors came from the factory with WCFB carb. I used to own one. My next car had a 250 with the 4GC, then last was a 300 with an...
I was considering the arrangement Indy posted but then I began to think they would present another hazard my old feet could trip over. Then I saw...
I would suggest full use of the blank walls. Get the drill press off the stand and floor and mount on a bench. Peg board can be put to good use....
There are not any good photos in my documents right now but next to my Shelton flyer is a Woodburn schedule on a business card from 1964, a...
I would love to see it built the way GM did and NHRA regulated it. Any motor from the era would be cool: 283, 327, 409. But I am a SBC kind of...
I don't see where I had posted this on this site so I will now. I believe these were 1963. Too stormy out right now to go down to the shop and...
Thanks to the Flopper for the clear photos. Don't know how Hansen figured that one out. I thought he was joking at first, but thumb's up to you both.
65: Can you ID this location for me? Kind of looks like Roseburg but no matter how I blow it up I can't read the letters on the doors. Thanks
[ATTACH] A friend gave this hat to me a couple years back. Excellent condition.
I believe I know what the Taboo is saying. I live up near Longtown and go down the 30 and take the St. Johns bridge and then Marine Drive which...
Wow! That is a cool 64. With the stripes on the roof it looks like it may have been campaigned as a Stock Eliminator car or perhaps SS. Thanks for...
Great shot HemiD.
33: Nice work.
P.S. I apologize for the hypocritical blast cabinet. But I did replace the POS original gun with one I bought from TP Tools about 10 years ago....
51: I too would rather pay more for quality parts and workmanship. I often do, actually. I try not to purchase anything anymore that would help...
RD is right on. The smaller work means not having "your eggs in one basket". If you spend a year on a project and the customer bails, you could...
Not sure if you have a question but the 519 casting appears to have been for that gutless 283 motor with the 2 barrel carb and a ground pounding...
Thank you X for the positive reinforcement.
I never was fond of the Gas Monkey show except when the owner of the rod shop took seats into Sue the upholsterer and tried to talk her down to...
