Put me down for second in line for the heads. I’m near Fort Worth & can drive down to pick up

I went and inspected it personally. Very solid, not a spec of rust. I ended up passing on it and buying one about an hour away.

It’s a 70 Cuda originally from the US

I’ll be having it shipped, not bringing it over myself. I went up to Nick’s garage & checked it out this weekend. Actually looking for info on the whole purchase and shipping process. He was saying they don’t just sign the title over there like we do here in the US

I’m thinking of buying a car that’s in Quebec Canada. Does anyone have experience with having one shipped, or transporting one across yourself? At this point, that’s one of the main deciding factors on whether or not I get the car. I’ve shipped parts there & had parts shipped from there a few...

The unpainted one is the one that came out of the 904 (999). If I remember correctly, the purple one was in a race-built 904 I got about 15 years ago, so very well could be a lock-up converter. I never knew that the pump slots were different for locking & non-locking. Thank y’all for the info...

Is there a difference between the keyway on a 904 vs 999 torque converter? Reason I ask is because the purple torque converter that I’ve had laying around for years, thinking it was for a 904, will not fit in what I’m pretty sure is a 1985 999. Look at the difference in the slot sizes of the two...

Looking for a set of Hold downs for my rocker shafts for a ‘73 340 thank you

I sure did. Been in TX for about 5 years now

Bought it as a long block, so the intake was already off. It’s never been ran since it was rebuilt, so it still needs broken in. I was just making sure everything was clean before putting it together to run, when I noticed the cam lube was dry

Wow, this forum has really changed from when I used spend more time on it. A bunch of rude punks now. Can y’all feel a pic? It just looks like lube. It wasn’t until I touched it that I could tell it was dry. If you need a picture of a lubed cam, you probably shouldn’t be giving advice

It does kind of resemble really old cosmoline, maybe a little darker. I haven’t tried putting heat to it, but it does seam like it would melt off if I did.

I just bought a rebuilt 340 long block & noticed the cam lobes are covered with a waxy substance. It’s dry & kind of waxy feeling. It has been sitting for a while since the rebuild, so I’m thinking maybe it’s some kind of cam assembly lube that dried out or something. Is this a coating that’s...

Has anyone around Fort Worth heard anything about Miller's Metal Buildings? I sent out for a few quotes, but they are the only ones who have answered so far.

So they sent you some old used LA valve covers?

I have some EQ Magrnum iron heads that were ported by Hughes. They did a great job, but I could have gotten just as good of work done elsewhere, like Brian at IMM, for a lot less $$. Get a set of bare heads and have them ported somewhere else. Hughes does good work, in my experience, but they...

Looks like it would be the same as the PLYMOUTH L I know I have some, but they are still packed up

Thank you! Yes, it is. IIRC, El Paso is about the halfway point from Yuma, AZ. That's all the way through AZ and through 3 hours of NM, hit the TX border, and just halfway to Fort Worth. I do like the town I'm in, though.

I actually like a variety of muscle cars. Started out with a '72 el Camino in the late 80's. When I was in the Marine Corps, my parents moved and sold it without telling me (which I bought with my own money, still torqued about that). I went a few years without muscle, other than a mud truck...

Nice! I guess I need to go back and read this thread now whenever I get time.

Subscribed. Going from turbo cars to juiced cars? Seems like most people go the other way. Thinking of putting my Duster on the bottle, but really have no idea how to set up a NOS system.

A junk yard. Layson's might have them, but you better be ready to bend over for them.

This one does: Dodge D-series pickups, 1972-1980: newer and tougher But the pics of Lil' Red Express rucks that I found didn't.

Not sure about older trucks, but I know my old '88 Dodge Dakota did.

Are you asking about the rockers, or the studs? Magnum studs are 5/16 on the head side, and I think Chevy studs are 3/8 or 7/16, so the holes need drilled and tapped. Depending on what kind of heads they are, this can create weak points.

Like others have said: remove the oil filter. I it has a 90 degree adapter, that needs to come off, too. Jack the engine up about 2 or 3 inches, and it should go in. If not, you'll probably have to take the torsion bar off (not that difficult). When you jack up the engine, be sure to keep an eye...

I have an Air Gap with a 1" spacer and drop-base filter on my '74. It barely clears (I think I had to shorten the stud)
