The hard part is finding the pistons I want in std 440 size. All the good pistons are only listed in +.030 or more. Stock cast pistons are too heavy for me. Too bad they dont make std bore stroker pistons for 440. That would allow me to stroke the crank to place the piston even with deck. Will...

I've got a 383 thats been bored 060 already. Bores are slightly scored from running hard and hot. I bought the engine out of a drag car, trw dome pistons, built with alot of clearance. Will need bored to clean it up. Another 010 and its std 440 bore. Anyone know what piston manufacturers make...

It will be awhile before I do much with it. Too many irons in the fire, and I will have to figure out how to get a title. Nebraska sucks when it comes to getting a title on an incomplete, non-running vehicle.

Does anyone remember the Javelin or AMX tv commercial, where the son comes driving up in his new Javelin sporting a blower sticking through the hood, zoomies out the side, and dad just standing there cant believe his son "butchered" his new car. Would have been '68 or '69. I cant find a video...

Does anyone know of an accessory that blocks the sun between the visors, like behind the rear view mirror. I have been looking online, and all I can find are some "google patent" applications. Seriously! I don't drive a Cayenne, or some other overpriced crap that comes from the factory with the...

He told me today, that he would sell it to me for $400. I just have too many projects, and not enough time and money for anything else. I'm trying to downsize and get to the point of starting resto on my '68 RR

I just got the word today, that a buddy of mine, who hauls scrap metal for a living, is planning on hauling in a '65 Sport Fury. This same car, he rescued from some kids trying to sell it at the local scrap metal yard. He said that all he wants is what he has in it. I don't have the $ right...

I believe that they use a flat gasket. It's been 40 years since my ex manifolds got put in storage in favor of headers on my '68 RR. Yes, I still have them, and the car too. You may just have to use ear plugs to get to the shop!
