when i finish it you can come out here and buy it and drive it back!

the prophecy came true... time to get to work...

dan, you've apologized previously for popping off and while an apology is a nice gesture, i find it to be hollow because you just revert right on back to doing what you done been doing. remember: an apology without changed behavior is just manipulation

hope they're boxed well and packed tight with extra insurance.

you know... you can... just not say anything. you knew that right?

you two should just get a room already.

and here we go. racing dynos again and talking about power under the curve. *makes wanking motion*

that swinger... oof. but... V8 and discs? and if you just wanted a bucket to roll around town in and have low stakes fun? the price is right. again, can't hardly go wrong with a V8 and discs. that bell was up previously with a busted rear end at 17 and change. they fixed the rear and new price...

this. exactly this. the same argument for a hemi v whatever other big block. yes, yes, reverence, H.E.M.I. yes. we all get it. but if you talking about building a burger cruiser that's popping off sub 500hp? any big block will do that without the hemi tax. and that's just more money left...

if you haven't had anything machined in the last 5 years, you're way off.

yeah, i know what current market is on 340's (i just bought one) and i also know what my local machine shops charge. you'd have to shop smart, do a lot of leg work and invest most of the sweat equity but i *think* you could get there for 5 G's. but just from a line item point of view, if you...

i'd be dreaming about 4spd cars wayyyy before even having a thought about motorcycles if that was my predicament. but that's business as usual for you danimal

you're looking at dirt bikes? what is this nonsense? you said that you can't drive a 4spd car due to your hip [or whatever] issues.

i love how you've glomed onto this idea that to make anything more than stock 230hp with a 318 is a billion dollars. here's the deal chachi, it costs the same amount of money to make 400hp with a 318 or a 340 but for S&G's let's try a theoretical: you have 5 grand to make 400hp and you're...

rub some dirt in it and take a lap.

excellent work. i look forward to buying it off of you in 6~8 months from now when you've done the hard work and sunk a whole pile of money into it but have been swayed by the siren song of another mopar that's just too good to pass up. naturally, i will take your call and protest that i...

correction, your opinion is worthless because in my paradigm you don't exist.

i don't know why you wouldn't just order them up and change them at home? ofc wallyworld ain't dicking around with some mongo trailer. they'd rather bang out half a dozen while you wait LOF jobs and ship rotations and twos-ies and crush their numbers than be tied up with some BS like that...

LD 340, performer, and possibly one of the weiand twins. everything else* will require a drop base. like for like, the stock intake holds its own against any of those with no appreciable gains on a fairly stock motor. *performer RPM may fit **most aftermarket intakes eliminate the coil...

needs a banana for scale

10 of 10 times it's the slow car fast.

hell yeah you can. slow car fast>fast car slow i take way more satisfaction in hitting the key and it starting up every.single.time. over something temperamental that wants to turn a cross town trek into a drama filled afternoon in bumper to bumper traffic.

no that argument is much shorter i had one back in the day. it's reliable. that's it. that's the whole argument.

acme threads. but not like, actual acme. more like Wile E Coyote ACME

and that's just the thing. all the 318 hater brigade jumps up and gets frothing at the mouth: it costs so much to make 500hp with a 318 well, Shirley Shanahan if you take off your rose colored drag race goggles, you'd see that if you're trying to make something more moderate and work within...

i mean yeah. the only way you're gonna get somebody to pay time is if you contracted the whole shebang. they're on the hook for everything then. but bigger picture, if you just need an acceptable replacement short/long block for a project and don't have the resources [time, skill, machine...

that's what warranties are for!

i understand completely. i wouldn't sweat the wait either but the radio silence would have me nervous too.

a client of mine ordered up a 318 long block from the vato zone for a project. took about a week for delivery, it was either ATK or nutech(?). said it was about 2700 all in, core was around 400, tax and shipping was 3-ish

evidently that's not where i do. they must be in that place where 8.75's are falling out of trees and thumbwheel radios are BOGO
