I installed a 1/2" pick up in the gas tank, and ran #8 braided line down the passenger side sub frame connector and a # 6 line for return off the nitrous regulator. I used nutserts in the frame connectors so I could secure the fuel lines and battery cable with rubber lined added clamps. I used a...

Well next step was rebuilding the 904 transmission. Sorry I didn't take any pictures. I bought a master overhaul kit, a rebuilt front pump and a Transgo stage 2 reprogramming kit. Rebuild was pretty straight forward process with no big surprises. I originally exchanged my convertor for rebuilt...

No sweat Bob, unfortunately I didn't take enough pics. No chamber work, or valve job pics. Before I was done with the heads I was already to do another set, cause I have figured out how to put metal back.

Please enlighten me.

Comp 268H, I bought a 3600 stall convertor.

I finished up my engine build using a cast iron 340 intake that I matched to my head ports, some comp cams springs and a set .050 shorter push rods from summit. A can of engine primer and 2 cans of Chrysler blue paint finished her off.

57 cc. The pistons were a mile down in the hole, and I ccd them with a little white grease around the rings and looked up the head gasket volume for the Felpros I used. Came up with a whopping 9.2-1 compression.

Thanks for the input, I know theirs a ton of smart people on the forum and am always learning. My buddy's all thought I was nuts to spend the time on some lowly 318 heads but I wanted to see what I could do. I only recently in the last couple of years gotten access to a flow bench and dyno and...

Well on to the engine and trans. When I started this project my original goal was to get it running and drive it and work on it as I go. The 318 ran but the trans lealeaked fluid as fast as you could pour it in. After pulling the trans and finding a broken converter snout and buggered front pump...

Since I got goofy with the lower arms I decided to make some tube uppers. Again I used screw in ball joint sleeves that were left over from when I was racing modified circle track. Just so happens the stock a body upper ball joint screwed rite in so it was game on. I used my old arms to make a...

Thanks, mine do have the extra flats from the factory.

The lower arms got a set of delrin bushings that I turned on the lathe. I originally bought some trick poly type bushings but they distorted badly when I pressed them in. The delrin bushings have a steel sleeve that I pressed over the torsion stud to pivot on. Sorry I didn't take any pictures of...

Decided to reinforce the K member and upgrade the suspension for future runs at the drag strip. I decided to ditch the rubber strut rod bushings and install monoball spherical bearings. The process was pretty straight forward. I hole sawed out the strut rod bushing hole to accept a 727 moog...

Your absolutely correct, I did use a full respirator under the canvas hood. I am guilty of being cheap on the abrasive.

Trust me I'm not that fast, I'm going to try and post daily and catch up the project to were it's at now. I have been reading about all cool projects on this site and it gave me the inspiration to go way beyond my original plan just drive it and tinker.

Decided to fabricate some frame connectors while everything was apart and clean. Used .120 wall 1.5x2.5 rectangular tubing. Welded them in and the used a high zink primer on everything that was blasted raw. I went to my local auto body supply and had the original paint code mixed and put in...

After pulling trans out to rebuild and finding the convertor snout broken and broken pump gears I checked the crank end play and found it clunking in and out about a 1/4" , well so much for a quick trans repair and start driving the car. I decided to pull the engine and freshen it up. Once I has...
