    Sam and Cheater at White Hall, with Adam's old Dodge in the background. The crowd really got a kick of hearing Sam rev her up, as this was the first time she's been back to White Hall in about 50 years!

    The Block was Epoxyed red in the bottom part of the block and gray in the lifter galley. This is to help oil drain off, to get the oil back to the oil pan quick. The Engine has new cam Bearings and Brass Freeze Plugs and has been toughly cleaned and rodded out.

    A light weight Racing piston is used with this set up also reduce weight. The pistons are TRW 7667 and 7661 dome pistons according to which side valve relief is on. The light weight pistons are connected to the light Aluminum Rods with lightweight racing wrist pins. The Pistons were also lightened and matched in weight. The Pistons were then Gas Ported. Gas porting is the small holes drilled in the top of the piston. This hole lets compression go to the back of the top ring which is only .043 thick. When the engine is on the compression stroke, the pressure in the cylinder blows the ring out against the wall of the cylinder. Then the ring loosens back to normal. The Pistons were then fitted with file fit rings. The rings are thin to reduce friction on the cylinder wall. The top ring is only .043 thick the second ring is 1/16 and the oil ring is 1/8.

    Interior is actually pretty in tact. I think a proper cleaning should set it straight for the most part.

    Rear end appears to be vintage Chrysler, but I'll trust those of you much wiser than me for the details.

    As was common back then, this is a 31 grill (I think) on a 29 body and frame. Agree?
