Gator blades. Mulchin' SOB's
LOL need a RV wheel on that hitch!
I really want to pull that motor and do what it needs, powered him up yesterday. Have to love the old school.
4500lbs of raw metal! Horsepower is good. Be interesting to see what happened to the right head. PIA to pull it have to lift the motor but might as well pull it and re paint the engine comp and a new ring gear also.
One day soon I hope.
As Tike said.
Its a cool summer evening as the young man comes to a stop at the red light. He is thinking that it is the last light for quite a distance and what better time than now to test his latest adjustments on his tuner car. The exhaust is ringing with that new Turbo tail pipe that he just installed and the throttle response is immediate. As he quickly scans the gauges to see if everything is in order for a solid run he hears a rumble that at first sounds as though his exhaust is coming apart or leaking. He now notices an older gentleman pulling up in the lane next to him. Ahthank goodness he thinks, it is his car that is doing the rumbling. The old fellow must be hard of hearing and does not realize his exhaust is making such a noise or perhaps he does not have the money to have his exhaust fixed. The young guy looks over and realizes that it is an old man, and he is driving an old car (complete with roof rack) as well. He remembers his father telling him of such a car and fun vacations so many years ago. With a great deal of pride the youngster decides to rev his engine to let the old guy know just what is sitting beside him and the performance the old coot is about to witness when the light turns green. As he revs his engine he notices that the older guy never looks over but stares straight ahead. But something else catches the young mans attention it is a scoop that begins to rise up out of the hood of the old four door relic complete with roof rack. With very little concern he is wondering what is happening to the old mans car he begins to press the accelerator of his tuner car anxiously waiting for the green light and his chance to show his car off to all who may be watching. But the rumble from the old white car gets louder and stronger as well and the young man begins to wonder if this old gentleman is challenging his finely tuned automobile. It was then that the light turned green and the young mans foot jumped off of the brakes as his other foot slams the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor and his tires begin to smoke as they spin as they try to grip the asphalt for the launch. To the young mans amazement he notices that his wheels are spinning and grabbing aggressively but the old white car is now moving forward and his is at a standstillhow could this be his speedometer shows 35 in a heartbeat and his engine is singing at the red line on his tach, but it is as though he is not moving because the amazing old four door car, roof rack and all, driven by the older gentleman is steadily pulling away. As he quickly shifts into second gear thinking that this might be his problem he notices even more smoke forming around the rear of the older classic car. Tire smoke that is obviously not his is drifting into his lane. The rumble that he had heard at the red light has now turned in to a thunderous roar of power that is seemingly making the ground around him vibrate. He remembers his father telling him of such cars and in his fathers day they called them sleepers could this be what he was encountering? As his speed grew even faster he noticed that the beautiful old Dart driven by the charming older gentleman had just left him and his whirring, tinny sounding car behind in smoke. And as the old car pulls away .etched in the young mans mind is the question.what is a Popmobile 440?

Thanks Ray I picked them up from Craig at mobile parts
Thats funny I sold him them. We do deals together. Most of the caps are from me he sells.
When I was talking with him about the brakes he mentioned the other parts
I ordered the brake lines from Inline tube
Hoping to just rering these pistons. I'll know more as things unfold
He has alot of stuff squirreled away. Have to stop by his place next time I am on Long Island.
The 318 I took a part last time i was able to easily work the pistons out without cutting the ridge. I didn't force them and the rings weren't stuck. If they don't go you can always cut the ridge a bit. Unless it's a low mile motor you will be boring it to make it right.
Figure that's where I'll end up... maybe .020 over. Would love to not have to drop 7 bills on new Pistons
Do you know how many miles are on that engine?
Chris if it needs to be bored, look around on amazon for a full rebuild kit, seriously saves you money instead of piecing it together. Some good kits on there. The slant had to go 30 over and got all that i needed in I think Mahl for 200. No way I could have put that together for under 350.
Good Morning guys. Not too much to report here. Tearing apart a V12 today while searching for 3:30. I believe I will be going back to 4-10s starting next week for the summer at least. I think, extremely flexible here, so it will be variable, but it is the plan.
Fury day on FB Marketplace
I was looking at Egge kit... so I knew what the high end would be
I'll cruise Amazon and see what is in there.
Thanks Hop
Any time dam hobby is expensive. The heads I want are almost 2K. Cant do that on the pop. Prob get some 906 heads port them and oversize valves. Matt actually has all the tools to cut the heads oversize and put in hardened seats so that helps.
I'm happy with the rebuilt heads I picked up at the swap meet. SB can be less pricey
