Yes he is.
Karl. Do you have a parts list ready for me?
Was thinking talk tomorrow.
I have a good idea on where to start...
Do you need any car parts, there's a parts car for sale in PA:
[FOR SALE] - 1965 valiant signet convertible parts car was 6 cyl. 4 speed
I think we should start out with cam bearings and connecting rod bolts and a freeze plug kit...
I can clean the block and install the cam bearings while we send the pistons and rods to John T and have them reconditioned....
I've been researching camshafts, but haven't found one that I like yet... There is quite a selection of ones with over .500" lift, but I'm not sure if we should go over .500" lift... I'm looking for one with between .450" - .500" lift.... I would like to keep the advertised duration between 260° and no more than 280°...
From the info that I've looked up so far the stock compression on that engine is 9.0 which means that it will be a little below that (I guess 8.5 or a little higher) because Chrysler always runs the head decks and block deck heights to the high side of the tolerance in case they need to re-mill them for teardown/recycled parts in the factory that may get some scratches when they tear them down... That way they can give them a quick .010" re-mill to clean them up and re-use them... We did that all the time at the engine factory that I worked at....
I'm not sure if the 9.0 pistons will have enough clearance to run a cam above .500" lift without checking... If I can scrounge up a few old main bearings and then install the crank quick and dirty, then put a piston in and check the volume above the piston and then cc the heads to find out where we are with compression... It would help me make a more educated guess...
Then I would need to check the heads to make sure that there is enough travel in the valves to handle above .500" lift before bottoming out.... Then I could make a decision if we can run over .500" lift because there are a few profiles out there that may work out...
I want to get the block cleaned up some and hone it, then take it to the do-it-yourself car wash and give it a good pressure wash....
Wow, not a gouge! I can see these selling for a grand! [FOR SALE] - 15x3.5 SBP slot mags.

would this be a good choice of bolt to use to lift the engine out? from the starter hole on the trans
Ya, I dont see why not. I like to make sure the bolt is tight to the chain and the block tho..
So, in the most riciculous way possible, 2 8mm bolts in the valley of the hemi. That was sketchy for sure. But it worked.
Well 6 men feeling no pain, helped drag out the tamper,so hopefully I can get this done next week if it doesnt rain.
Have to power wash one more time to get the rest of white plaster off, and finish edging. Looks wavey in picks for some reason, maybe the lighting.
It's pretty flat though.

Went to one local to me a few weeks ago, Pioneer Days. They have hundreds of hit and miss engines, hundreds of tractors, everything from saloon to church, large swap meet, rock crushers to saw mill, etc. a three day event. Oh, and cars and trucks, bring an exhibit and show is free, one of my favorite events

Went to local car show today, a first annual fall classic put on by our local Sheriff. All cash went to charity. It was a great turn out for a first time event. Sheriff ended up putting me to work I parked cars all day for the alley event. You make a 25 dollar donation and you drove down alley in between all the cars, you stop at the DJ tent and hand him the bio on your car and he reads it off to the crowd. It was a good time. The DJ hosts a TV show on hot rods and is a true car guy so he has a lot of knowledge and ad libbed non stop. I put on my sheet I double dog dare ya to say Mopar or No Car! Since he is a pretty good guy he did but then confiscated my card thereby rendering me “out” of contention. Hah great time! This little beauty was there as well.
Remove the checkered flag for the win.
Smoked chicken thighs. Half are mango magic and half sweet heat rub. Oh and fresh green beans wrapped in bacon.
