So, that's a 2 headlight system as in hi/lo in each headlight?

I have always used Mothers Chrome Polish with some steel wool. Made the aluminum slots look sort of machined finish but if you keep going can be brought to a high polish.

Interesting. Is that a 4 headlight separated high and low beam assemblies or a 2 headlight hi/lo combo?

I'm eagerly awaiting your progress! Just looked at JVX's website and couldn't find the LA to 8sp adapters. Could you tell me what's the part number on that flex plate and any other details about it specifically?

You don't have to swap out or mod the stock valance. You can just mount the tips below it.

I have no experience with either but here are some other possible options... https://www.qualitypowerauto.com/item_557/Chrysler-Mount-Mega-Amp-Alternator.htm https://store.alternatorparts.com/dodge-chrysler-plymouth-jeep.aspx

That's what I plan on doing. Too costly to restore for a nothing special daily driver and repops aren't cheap either.

It appears he has put out a vid addressing some of the critiques and concerns people have about his carb cheater. I think he has some valid points.

Look around where you live RRR. You might be able to find a shop the will make any A/C hose you need locally. Even in hot rod hell Tucson we have a shop that does that and they have been lifesavers at times when swapping in parts that weren't OEM.

It's basically a controlled air bleed. So, your carb would need to be set up rich and his system would autocorrect for this rich condition by adding the correct amount of air. At least that's how I understand it.

His email is on the website page.

The one thing I'll state is don't scrap any of it. It's better to give it away than lose a part that will never be made again and could potentially be used by someone. Trying to find someone to purchse the whole lot is a lot tougher to find than individual buyers that can actually use a...

Pretty close for the same version IMO. Zone $782.99 Summit $794.99

Autozone currently has a 20% off code, FREEDOM, but doesn't seem to work on a set of Dougs D453 headers. :BangHead:

I've smoked three stock 904's all behind either stock or very mild 318's. First two were back in the 80's, I'm pretty sure they were all original, and the last one was rebuilt professionally and crapped the bed right after the warranty ran out. Since then it has only been 727's for me. Never...

Following. Definitely want to see more on installing and getting the 8sp trans working.

Ah, I love those cars. That could be a really sweet cruiser. As to you guys talking about dropping a Gen III in a boat, I plan to do that very thing in my '65 Sport Fury along with a matching 8 speed auto. I want to be able to drive that car across the country if I wish.

None of them claimed it was going to be cheap. Only stock type modified parts.

I prefer to anneal them myself but this trick would work just fine.

LOL, no, not you! There are just some here that hate UTG with a passion and I believe they let their "feels" get in the way sometimes.

Mmm, I think that was their assumption and they mislead themselves. UTG, DV, and Andy are pretty much using stock parts yet they are modified and will be extensively so on some of them. Most anyone that thought you could "tune/tweak/recurve/jet/ to get the 300" out of a 318 with a BBD carb and...

Like someone else has mentioned above, they never claimed it was going to be a budget build. Having someone do what they plan to do to any size or brand of engine won't be cheap. I think the idea is to show how to maximize what you are working with which in this case is a BBD fed 318. Exactly...

They already said that is exactly what they plan to do. So, we will get to see that difference. Personally, I think this is the most interesting build going on at the moment that I've heard of. Seems it is mainly all about the small details and not the big dollar parts most throw at a build...

I was only considering the Hedman 78500 vs the Dougs D453. Those generic block huggers just aren't worth the hassle even if you could get them to fit. Eh, all that matters to me is that it works and I have great ground clearance. Honestly I think I can do the Hedman shorties considerably...

I got lucky and found a core locally for $100. Collecting the parts to build it is going to take a while for me as I'll be doing all the work so I can afford to buy the more expensive HD parts throughout.

Interesting. I've not read anything on this finish so totally in the dark about it. Would this possibly even help on a dual plane intake even though you can't reach everywhere?

I was specifically asking MopaR&D as I saw he was going from the shorties to the Dougs. However, anyone who has done both is more than welcome to chime in and your input is much appreciated. The reason I asked is that I have a mild 300hp 318 (ie; built from the old 318 Street Recipe mag...

I would be real interested in hearing the results of the Dougs vs the Hedman shorties.

Honestly, neither have I but the 200-4R is just a way better and smaller (less tunnel hammering) trans to squeeze in to an A-body.
