Thanks guys. I'll throw the old Offy in the bead blast cabinet and make it more presentable, even if it is just for looking at.

 

DAMN LUV the look of Hard lines with a fuel block going to those carbs instead of floppy do it cheap rubber lines.. NICE touch

 

DAMN that is one FINE looking engine.

 

Thank you sir.

 

Engine looks great Chris!

 

I remember the car. The distinctive dash, soft yellow interior contrasted against the black, nice round ass...
Glad you got it.
Nice to see you improving it.
Cool, man.

 

Cool to see the improvements -- almost ready for many more years of fun!

 

We are gaining on it. Trying to make the Gathering at the Roc on Oct 31.

 

That Offy would look good on my 265!

 

It's gonna be cool. How about contact info for the torque tube seal you used?

 

See you there!

 

He’s a hamber. Danny Burroughs of Bruce’s Rod Shop. His Hamb name is Hot Rod Pro.

 

Just now seeing this. Looking super fine Chris! That engine is the cat's meow!

 

Thanks Dr. Dave.

 

Awesome job on that intake. Fuel lines and blocks look particularly good, an area not so well done many times!

 

Thanks. I am not a fan of rubber fuel lines except where absolutely necessary.

 

Daaaaang! Look at that!

 

I Don't know anything about 265's but remember reading something about the camshaft and it needing something to lubricate the distributor that is different from other small blocks.

Yes, you are correct. I had Comp Cams cut the notch in it when they ground the cam.

 

Nice job! I feel your pain with the fish/eye problem. It’s frustrating. Armor-All is terrible for that as well. I had a ‘27 roadster with MG knock-off wires that I had Armor-All’d the tires on, had a TERRIBLE time with fish-eye on the wheels, even after stripping and blasting them.

There is no silicone in WD-40. Just saying.

 

Your wife is doing a great job Chris ..... sweet roadster brother.

 

That's true, but it causes fish-eye, it floats EVERYWHERE in the shop, and it doesn't wash off (out) of paint with Prep-Sol.

 

Thanks Glen. I'll tell her....ha.

 

What a Great little car (and you’re making it even Better)! With all the improvements, you’ll Never stop driving it.

That's the goal. I never thought we would get so much enjoyment out of one cheap car. That's the way it usually goes.

 

Everyone needs to find one like that (at least their version)!

 

I had a T bucket along the same vein back in the early 2000's, I think I had about $3,500 in it. We drove the piss out of that car.
