Great job! How long did it take to get it to where it is today? Just curious. I'm not in the market, as I still have my beast deep in the resto process. Best wishes!

Thanks everyone for your advice and for sharing your knowledge. I have found an answer to my quest for a 440 block locally! And the build goes on...... Love this forum! You guys rock!!! Thanks again, much appreciated!!!!

Sounds interesting but I have to go local Thanks

Thanks but looking for a closer option.

PM sent Thanks

I used the QQ1 Electric Blue in Deitzler PPG for base coat. An enamel I believe. Used every drop of it so, I don't have a paint can label to read. Urethane clear coat was by House of Color. $$$$ I used some pretty spendy brands and other brands also in levelers, reducers, hardeners and anything...

Anyone ever heard of a machinist named Jes Jenkins in New Mexico?

He said he was moving and wouldn't have any available storage anymore.

Hey all. Thank you all for your advice and input on available engines It's highly appreciated. I think I'll pass on this rebuilt one. I's questionable and I don't have enough knowledge or the experience to inspect it myself. It's also too far away for me to send my trusted machinist friend to...

Exactly! I think I'm going back to looking for a 440 block in Texas. At least then I could have my machinist check it out and decide if it's a good one or not. I don't have the expertise, myself. I trust his judgement.

This restoration is going so slow. I have to go check out in the shop to be accurate but, I will get back to you with the info.... Thanks

There are many different B5 Blue colors. This was just from my experience in finding my blue paint color. I went with Electric Blue which was a 1968 or '69 color I believe. Chrysler called it Electric Blue. Dodge called it Bright Blue. http://paintref.com/cgi-bin/paintdetail.cgi?ppg=13354...

Chrysler called it Electric Blue. Dodge called it Bright Blue. Regardless of what it's called the PPG code number is 13354. You can't just go by a color's name, they can have the same name and be very different colors from one year to the next and also from one manufacturer to another. I was...
