One of the most aggravating aspects of rising insurance costs is seeing the industry up close from inside. It's not a job to these people. It's a lifestyle. Constant flying across the country or even the ocean (London) for a single lunch. Just lunch with a client. They can't do this stuff on...

Well here it is if anyone is restoring that car.

Have this motor and am trying to figure it out. Half the resources say the G means it's a 318, but is obviously a 383. XP29G9B212307 2468130-12 LL. This come from a Charger R/T? If anyone's looking for it, here it is.

If any of you guys do a drive to Prescott or Stillwater @ me. I'll probably roll out for a beer or whatever. Especially Bari or any of the 70 Super Bee guys.

My issue is not that it did not arrive, it's how I was treated after the fact when attempting to remedy it.

Nothing to sort out, friend. Not going. Not spending my money with someone that treats me like some kind of idiot. Saw a couple of fantastic cars recently in Stillwater. A black 2nd gen HEMI Charger a few weeks back and his sons were driving a red Challenger T/A. Asked to see the fender tag...

I have the money. Doesn't mean I want to spend the money. But my thoughts are today it will be the cheapest it is ever going to be. And every year the car will accrue value complete, in the great condition it is, with the original driveline. Especially since this motor will probably just sit on...

This is my numbers matching block.

I don't want to get into insane territory for a 383, that's for sure. If it goes over 10K I'll be unhappy.

And just leave it or sleeve it? Mine blew the center rod and was obviously rebuilt a couple times previously and has sleeves due to the lower section of the cylinder wall pieces having cracked off. My guy had a whole building full of stuff from our era including HEMIs and a few Boss 429 motors...

I'm not abandoning these heads. They've already got $1500 worth of work into them alone and I got them for $500. There's nothing 915s can do that can make up a difference like that. Even though I do want to retain a stock look. As far as the rest of it goes I'm not overly picky. I do need to...

Dropped my block, caps, and rods off with the shop this week. Other than some really nice 906 heads that were ported and polished and all that I don't have a single part for the build. Wondering what people go with to get a reasonably beefed up 383 build that's still tame enough to cruise around...

Oh man that's all day every day at every car and bike show in the world. I used to be really into vintage British bikes and recall a time when some weirdo got extremely aggressive that I corrected him on his claim that a part of a custom bike I was interested in was from a 1952 Bonneville. First...

This is a reasonable and measured response that I do not disagree with. What I do disagree with is when I emailed that my package had not arrived a month after they announced on FB that packages were going out the reply was simply the date it was sent. Nothing more. Just "Your package was sent...

Wise move. Think I'll copy that strategy for future shows. I just wanted to get everything set and save a few bucks on early registration. But I'm so thoroughly aggravated by hassle of dealing with this guy I will no longer be attending.
