Really nice job. Super tidy. Killer

Mike I'm coming up with a couple of other guys as well. We're leaving Mill Bay 1:00pm Friday and staying up until end of show Sunday. The other guys registered sooner than I did so they are in the first set of cars. Sounds like we'll be able to figure it out once I'm up there.:glasses7:

Good looking dart Mike,nice job. If I don't catch up with you after the swap meet, we are registered for the father's day show in Qualicum, #399.

Great punchlines so far guys very creative.

Thanks guys, both lady's mom and wife were out there all weekend during the install. Fantastic support. A few more shots, we're just waiting on the driveshaft now and I'll get that video.

It's in. Gonna fire her up Monday. Holiday here in B.C. Won't get much sleep tonight. :wav:Look at the last picture and see if anyone has a good punchline to, what did the carburator say to the oil can?

Yes I'll flick the switch for sure. Thanks alot to all the members that have been following along, it's pretty cool reading all the feedback. Hopefully the next posts will be of it in and running. :toothy7::toothy7::toothy7:

Dad says motor is complete and ready to go. Pressure tested and primed. he asked me what we're doing this weekend. WE'RE DROPPING HER IN OF COARSE!!!!!!!!!!!

Man you nailed it. Dad's been retired for a year now,could be the last complete Collins Engine to come out of the stable. (The Silver Lining!)Time flies take advantage of it.

Yes you're right on there. I owe him big time!!!!!

No power brakes or steering as for the headers they were custom built and came with the car when I purchased it.

Every motor Dad ever built ,has that velocity stack on it in the photo.

P.M sent. Thanks the motor turned out awesome.

Just mocked up for now, we'll make final adjustments in the car.

Hey thanks for the support.

Getting real close now. If you put your ear up to the picture you can hear the faint roar of a wicked 340!!!!!!!:grin::grin:

PM sent.

He's got 40 years of engine building knowledge up there. Meticulous,that he is nothing get's left undone. Lucky yes,big shoes to fill maybe that's why I'm a finish carpenter with a car hobby. I can't wait either,always wanted a motor that my Dad had built.It's going to be great putting this...

Yeah they're approaching 50 years together.

Yeah I know but when it came time to go good, he backed out big time and said all I was trying to do was extort money from him. Lesson learned try to by locally if possible.

An update if your following along. Numbers on the pistons are piston heights above the block deck, worked out real nice. The last photo is a shot of the master at work. (Dad)

Got the trans. back today. 727 stage 2 shift kit, new torque converter 1800-2200 stall.

Here's a few more shots of the porting on the heads and got the crank back and it's in.

Had to machine rocker shaft towers.all part of blueprinting. Hard to believe how far off some of this stuff is from the factory. Shaft setup is right on now. Just waiting for the crankshaft to get back, after mock-up needed a little more side clearance.

I have all the emails pertaining to the purchase of the car and then all the string along emails. But after filling out ebay survey and having a statement come up after filling it out stating someone from ebay would probably be contacting me because of my response , then nothing. I figure it's...

That's all I expected and that's what he lead me to believe would happen. Said he needed till the end of the month because he had all his money invested in a car he was selling and he wouldn't be able to make it right 'till then. End of the month came and went and so did the agreement.

It's not right man someone should start a company that sells carma.

If all goes well hopeful for the end of the month, but there always seems to be another snag or two , or three or......

And I thought I had it bad. Thats insane! I guess the guy figured with the stop sign and license plates they were still automotive oriented.
