Technical SBC 350 - How hot is too hot?

Probably selling it because it never did bolster his rockabilly lifestyle. (Inside joke)
Hope he sells it, so that he can concentrate on wailing on his Gretch guitar and we can get back to normal stuff like: How hot is too hot for a 400 SBC?

There it is.... I wouldn't have given up on such a beautiful car...

Majority of us are just having fun, no harm, take it easy. [emoji41]

 

Yep, I see you must be looking for cars in San Diego then? Thanks for posting the link to my craigslist post on here, which now forces me to explain this...

Car is up to see what offers I get.. not really looking to sell unless I get an offer that is what I consider really good (read the post to see where I mention the minimum I would take). I want to see what the car could sell for if I really did need to sell it (I have a potential job offer in place which will require relocation and I dont want to deal with garage nightmares)....

Not the first time that car has been up on craigs by the way, but I am surprised this is the first time one of you found it and posted my ad on here.

 

Anyone who wants to make a decent offer (above my stated minimum in the post) can look at it underneath and close. I have nothing to hide.

 

Thanks that is the truth, regardless of whether I even was selling it I have been trying to fix many of the issues.

I would never have felt OK selling the car in the state it was when I got it, electrical wiring touching bare metal all over the place, cut up spark plug wires all tied together, missing firewall cover, leaking airbag lines, wiring for the the compressors being too thin and having melted and blown fuses.... transmission cooler lines absolutely pinched to death by the splash guard...... Completely open vent holes with exhaust and heat getting in.... endless stuff most of them I didn't even post on here but I actually took care of so many small stupid things that were safety issues.

 

I haven't.. not yet at least. not the first time the car is up on craigs either. I'm seeing what offers come in.. curious.. and if a decent one comes I may consider it depending on my job situation (offer possibly in the works which will require relocation)

 

I vote no skirts, or is it too late for that?

 

HAH wouldn't you know? It actually did in some ways , I took it to a couple of shows earlier in the year and it was an easier way to get a couple of phone numbers from some rockabilly/psychobilly girls that live in San Diego who said I should bring that car to every show. One of you mentioned I posted crap about painting the rims.. well I painted them and got compliments (see photos below)

By the way the frontman one of my favorite Psychobilly (not rockabilly) bands - The Quakes asked me to bring the car to a show earlier in the year for photo shoots and he said the car was cool and felt like a spaceship inside and later thanked me publicly on their band page.

Here ya go -

I'm generally really respectful and patient and keep negative things to myself on here until I get really annoyed. You have to be pretty stupid or have no F($*KING life to complain someone's thread is too long all while actually posting pretty stupid and meaningless criticism to the thread so it can keep growing. You are a part of this ugly mess now dumb AZZ. Based on the number of posts you have (131) and a mere 5 likes, you must be considered somewhat of an A-hole where you tread.

Nonetheless nobody is obliged to respond to someone else's posts and clearly you are coming back on this thread for some reason, so you must have no real life otherwise you would have ignored this in it's entirety.

Now what is it you wanted to ask me?

 

I like the car, and the guitar, and I have a couple more than 131 posts.

If it ain't pukin' coolant, it ain't too hot.

Rock on.
