that is very cool... a friend of mine (bout 20 years ago) bought a set of heads from indy for his 440 back when i think indy and koffel were the only game in town.. he took it out one time and it dropped a valve... indy wouldn't even talk bout repairing the head... nope.. buy another head, sucks to be you. glad to hear they are better.
 
Indy Cylinder Head has indeed been bought. I'm sure it's been covered elsewhere here on FABO. They seem to be very down to earth people.

Thank you! I am going to Carlisle also, not sure what day yet. I wish I could have the car there, but definitely next year.

Place did a great job... please leave them a good google review.. i own a small business and those reviews matter :)
 
Funny you mention the Google review, I leave honest ones, but Google now asks me constantly to leave reviews for whatever business' I Google. Even if I didnt go to the Happy Endings Salon...:rolleyes:

Bolted in the seats today, which took me several hours. However, I am glad I took the time to adjust them and do it right. I had to drill additional holes in the floor and brackets to get them to mount correctly. My FIL was shorter than me and there was no way I could use the original holes. I also moved the passenger seat back so they were both in line. I am very happy with how they look. One more item checked off the list. :steering:

Gonna put heat shielding and carpet in it? That hemi will burn you out of there. :)

Yes Sir. I already have the new carpet, it will be put in after engine and trans are back in the car. Figured I would get them in, so no possibility of getting damaged sitting around in the shop. Also it will be ready, when I go back to NC for engine and trans to go in................

maybe that is the way you like them, but are your seat brackets installed correctly?.... possibly what you have at the rear goes in the front
