Nice photo. With the faithful friend. not bad the tools on the shelves.

the big problem here in europe is that any competitive item is very expensive. with too selective a too snobbish sprit. I have the impression that at home in the USA, it is very well answered and for any kind of budget.

For an original engine, it is true that they do a good job, and if the engine is well maintained, with the changes of oil, filter and respect the maximum rotation limits of the engine. I already fit a lot of hydraulic lifters no problem. I find it unfortunate that the American manufacturers do...

I already bought the actuating rod of the brake master cylinder. I have to see a guy that I work quite regularly, to see how much it will cost me the transport to Belgium

hello enthusiasts, I have just made a fairly large order of parts on a site in Germany. Are the same parts that I could order from you but at a better price than by the previous method. I'll keep you posted when the rooms are at my house. If it works I control my rear axles. probably it will...

you don't have to read this article! I am a simple engine manufacturer who has worked for more than 35 years with racing engines on mixed circuits. even if I love dragsters, it is a discipline very far from my everyday reality. but I just wanted to tell you a little bit of information. there...

I wanted to order an FS carburetor and apparently out of stock

je voulu commander un carburateur FS et apparemment rupture de stock

normally next week I will receive the full quote with the price here in Belgium. Just to give you an idea of the price madness here in europe. set of rear leaf springs: in the USA 400 dolars, to get it here 1000 euros. stainless steel fuel tank: in the USA 260 dollars, once here in Belgium 800...

I always dreamed of making my own Dart with a big engine. when I lived in Brazil I had the possibility of doing, but the time passed too quickly. 30 years later I live in Belgium, a nice country, but what ****, to make a simple change of wheels. and when I tell you that USA parts finally arrive...

I also thought of the Ford 9 "model, with the ease of changing the ratios quite easily.

when you change the rear axle ratio, do you also make changes in the automatic gearbox?

it's cold in this country, and I'm tired of working on the ground.

it is really for road use and sometimes, very rarely on track I was thinking of a: Currie Dana 60 your opinion on the Detroit Truetrac system?

the weekend 24/01/2021 I work a little, and I start to assemble the exhaust manifolds. for the moment they are too close to the steering box. I put the fixing studs back on the cylinder head, so no water leaks .

at each piece, a certain time of our life devoted to making it work as well as possible. why so much dedication to revive a multi-year car? my wife owns a 2019 Nissan Micra, very pleasant to drive in town. But the simple fact of starting the 440 in the garage, is already a real happiness for me...

I want to completely change my exhaust system.

like all my old cars, this Dart has the same criteria when buying the vehicle. Healthy bodywork. my job is engine preparation, and the restoration of old engines, I am not a bodybuilder. in this project the goal is only to clean very well, treat the sheet metal, and protect it for the future...

it's true, very pleasant to clean. the ideal for me is very light in color, much easier to find a tiny piece that has fallen to the ground.

I scratched the body, really when taking out the exhaust manifold. you are right, it is necessary to protect much better. my blanket fell just as I was going against the bodywork. the most difficult is to see the collector practically out, but you have to climb the car another 2 centimeters.

yesterday I work until the evening, to dismantle the old exhaust manifold, what a nightmare, a lot of work to do alone, and besides I was angry with myself because I made scratches on the paint of the compartment engine. tomorrow I dismantle the right side.

my workspace is very small, I have trouble organizing the dismantled parts, the space for the new parts. and no way to work outside, it's too cold for me.

For the spring I hope: change the complete exhaust, the fuel supply system, rear shock absorbers, all the silent blocks, pushrods, valve covers, brake master cylinder, rear brake hoses, if possible the fuel tank. 'gasoline, (I saw at classic industries), lubricate the spring leaves well.

I take the winter to redo the painting of the rear floor of the Dart and protection of the roll. two and a half weeks of work to thoroughly clean the earth, the peeling paint, the roll. once the surface is clean, cleaning with thiner, protection of the metal with a rust converter, protection of...

congratulations, nice job. the times with your son it will stay in your memory and hers forever.

20 minutes is pretty fast. Cleaning products are not like they used to be. When I started working in motor racing in 1984, it had products that after 1 hour the engine block was completely cleaned of all residues, oil, paint, ... a fairly easy method to use at home is to spray sodium bicarbonate...

how long does it take you to clean the 8 pistons? I don't want to think about your manly hand, LOL ... a good cleaning product, and you can save money for unpleasant work.

with all due respect to you. your procedure is widely used by many professionals and enthusiasts in the automotive industry. there are chemicals capable of removing any combustion residue without scratching the pistons. yes it works, but it's not the best method. the gases under pressure in the...

as you know, it's very difficult for me to express myself in english. I've been restoring engines for 35 years, and believe me, it's a very complex job when you want to achieve excellence. several publications, and a lot of mechanics use old piston rigs to clean old pistons. never do that !! to...
