i'd say with what you're looking for a stroked big block will scratch that itch. absolute gobs of low end torque and no drama. you could probably build something real stout that could put down 500+ fl/lb and be done by 5200rpm while a stroked small bock is certainly no slouch and will...

in situations like this you must ask yourself: WWED? and 100% the King would roll the caddy. embrace the Elvis, be the Elvis. why? because Elvis is everywhere man.

i recently saw a beater 64~66 4dr val with a slant up for sub 2K and i almost bought it just because i ain't seen a one like that in ages. like man, that's legit what that thing is worth not the 5K plus every ding-dong is asking.

man, you'd be surprised. there's some real crack pipe pricing going around of late. also, as 72blu eluded to, people see these cars sell for 60K and think: hell, mine's gotta be worth half that! because "reasons" that only make sense in their head.

prices have gone up since the earl aughts, but not that much. 6-ish is a little more in line with with what that should probably go for-- location dependent. the interior is passable, the body looks rock solid and the undercarriage looks workable. that's all plusses. also, expand your search...

...angle of the dangle is right, so you'll need to weld on fresh ones in the right position at the right angle. stock width on a 35 is 58.5 and i *think* a 44 is 60? so i'd guess that the 8.25 is in that neighborhood. stock a-body width is 56-3/4~57-1/8, so you're either narrowing that axle or...

if your shaft is good condition, i'd just have that worked to fit; it would be the most economical path. but if you wind up needing a combo joint and don't want to run that, then i'd source a new one or just have one built. not that there's anything wrong with running a combo. shorter answer...

your e-brake cables may or may not work or may need some fiddling to hook up. likely need a new brake drop line from frame to axle. depending on carrier and what you have, you may need to swap the u-joint or run a combo style one, but that goes along with shortening the shaft like gdrill said.

...and brown in a hurry. that's if you can even get the starter to engage. who knows if the critical distance to the ring gear is that same (edit: it *probably* is) why not track down a flywheel that would be proper for the bell? it'd be a helluva lot saner and safer. or just build a start cart.

it's a window... and it's in the kitchen so i kinda, sorta need standard screen there. the screen door is one of those all metal security types. thank [insert deity of choice] for that.

i contemplated alum screen, but i couldn't find any the first time they busted out the billion year old unit so i settled for whatever passed for super heavy duty. it's held up well thus far. i didn't have to replace it, just "reset it" because they like to lean and flop against the screen and...

presented without comment. because if you know, you know.

i'm in the same boat. i'll take capable over a hotrod 9 out of 10 times. but that 10th time, i'm gonna want something really wild.

PM me a link or shoot one up here. or start a thread asking about it. i don't know what bodywork costs where you are, so you may need some one with more local flavor to answer that part of the question. remember, on the price i can only speak as to what something like that would likely sell for...

dan, we break your balls because we like you. but also because you say some truly wild ****. stick around amigo, we wouldn't have the massively crazy derailed threads without you. make it to LA and the first round is on me.

i admire the craftsmanship and ingenuity. loves me some bass boat metal flake, too. agreed that it need some meats to fill out them rear wheel wells. i see a six pack air cleaner, what's the scoop with the rest of that rig?

this should help. https://www.doctordiff.com/drivetrain/mopar-8-3-4/

i'm not sure entirely what you're asking but here's a measurement chart for the rear end and axles https://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/threads/an-accurate-8-3-4-rear-axle-width-list.365494/ if you're asking how to ID the gears you can pop the carrier out and it'll be stamped on the ring gear...

most of them burned in the fire. but i still have some tasteful nudes and some car/motorcycle related cheesecake stuff (don't judge!). shoot me your CC number and i'll hook you up

this whole thread is a bigger tease than Francesca DeLongpre in short shorts and bikini tops that one summer between junior and senior year when it was hotter than anybody could remember. lemme tells ya, now there was a gal that could haul some heads on a airport trolley!

well, now i want to know the rest of this sordid tale! drug mules, octogenarians, a con job gone wrong and an airport trolley!

let me rephrase: hot rod joe couldn't build it for that because he's paying shops to do all the work. i could absolutely build it for that, it's just there wouldn't be much meat left on the bone when it came time to flip it.

original slant car, so there's that. but given where the market is it don't find this totally out of line. there's a bunch of stuff that i don't particularly care for, and some stuff that's not my style, and a little bit of the obvious liberties taken/good enough/that'll work. however, it's...

this is fantastic news! keep on trucking amigo, you'll be there before you know it. and make sure to show some gratitude to your care takers-- muffin basket, timmy's donuts & coffee, cured meats and a stack of expired gift cards for complimentary car washes.

according to Howards all of their lifters are indeed made by Morel

fair enough. i love, love, love their little 2T bikes (and *some* of their scooters) but they are a legit pain in all nine assholes to work on and get parts for. the RS125 is a stupidly fun bike and begs to be ridden in a ridiculous manner.

oh... have a seat fellas and let me tell you about Aprilia... torx and allen heads in stainless or aluminum, all different sizes and there's a million of 'em on each machine.

i love how DTM goes from: "what are the benefits to leasing a car" to knowing all about it in the span of six posts and several hours. this is why people clown on you all the time. i'm sure the DMV knows all about leasing a car. jfc. *makes wanking motion*

hahaha! nah, it's a E3 Bavaria. So it's like the big brother to 2002, or the four door saloon version of a E9 (don't worry it's getting an LS swap)

i can relate...
