I'm a gonna do a mini starter swap...did I say that already? If so I haven't yet got around to it...:)

Maybe you could give that guy that raced Uncle Tony with that Demon some help...school him on pinion snubbers...

I remember when Mopars were a cheap...

Its expensive if buying and lowballers galore when selling

If its a Mopar Yup its worth 10 times the weight in gold what they are asking...especially if its a 318 under the hood . Dont try and talk them down, they know what they got... me, Im waiting for Dodge Omni prices to go through the roof...:)

Yeah they aren't too bad, main thing is identifying what you need that isnt in the kit.

I went through this with cylinder heads. two years in a row i dropped a set off in January right after new years. guy had the 2 months plus each time. Id call hed say "oh yeah I can finish them up this week..." Its like I understand he works on them here and there but Id wait and wait then when...

How much is a MAACO spray job these days?

Weren't those engines real torquey? propelled the heavy cars pretty well like the C bodies?

There's scuttlebutt that he bought his subs. YT apparently is looking into people who have fake bought subs. But I'm not 100% on that its hearsay. If you Google "buy yt subs " links will pop up...Uncle Tony is a clown though his recent video a guy drives 3/4 way across the country to race him...

If you can look it up on Rock Auto ,I bought a couple kits there recently one for a BBD and one for a Thermoquad...you may need to ascertain what car it may have been on and look it up by vehicle...worth a try.

Far out man...(in a Tommy Chong voice...)

Ah...AFSOC....I see...:) Hotter than HE double hockey pucks there in a few weeks...

Unfortunately the know it alls are everywhere now...but people who do this for a living and do it well are shrinking that's facts. Good to hear from ya take care.

So what do you guys think about Uncle Tonys MI 318 recipe...? you know cork intakes and 2 barrel carbs and what not...:)

Well they were on booze and coke in the 80s so...

Like you said it pays the bills...YT is becoming watered down with guys paying the bills... how many 318 builds does one have to look at to realize the results are limited with that engine? one day it wont pay the bills... there are already too many Uncle Tonys out there yacking about cars...

IMO it is Because they are willing to be misinformed...Tony will say things like "I used to love being a mechanic..." I can tell he was never a successful mechanic not proffessionallly...what he was as we all know was a dismantler and used parts seller...taking them apart isn't being a mechanic IMO.

It doesnt natter if the car runs like crap... have you seen any of his builds go down the track? even in 1980 the perfomance would be dismal.

I like a 340...

I mean yeah if junk is your thing and that's what makes ya proud strive to be Tony Defeo to each his own right? Tony is was and always will be a parts dismantler that's his forte and expertise...he doesn't bolt anything together to make it run he unbolts parts to sell and ship...

A guy I know says "who gives a ****...?" it applies here I think...

What is even worse is those that defend him and profess what an expert he is...

right now I have a e body pistol grip with a standard Hurst boot, i do also have the factory oval chrome bezel and boot with the factory shifter... I never ran the factory oval I think I may try it I think you are on to something. The square Hurts boot trim sits right beside that metal strap
