Ok gang I recently posted pics of our 383 redone. It has the following specs and I am wondering if any of you care to take a guess as to the HP once we test it. I honestly have no clue as this is our first try at this. I will give kudos to whomever is right. Thanks for playing!
It has:Comp...
Ok, our sure grip on our 489 rear end is toast. My son has located a couple of Dana 60's from 1974 D-100 and D-200. We will need to check these out to be sure they are Dana's. I am way out of my league here, but can we put one of these on our 69 RR? I would surely think the gear ratio would...
Just wondering if anyone can tell me what kind of carrier is in my rear end. Found numbers and letters. It is a 489, but here is what I found:
There is a D and a big P, then next row down there is a C and the tail of the P, and then a D, kind of resembles a square when they are together...
I just want to check out a couple of details regarding paint. I think the hood hinges and springs are body color. Is this correct? The windshield wiper motor appears to be black. Is this correct? Thanks!
I received a call last night from a woman in my small town. She knows that I have been working on my Road Runner and that I like Mopars. She tells me that she has a car that she would like to sell me if I am interested. I tell her I will be glad to come out and she told me to come now if I...
When General Motors emerged from bankruptcy they broke into 2 companies. GM kept all the assets and MLC(Motor Liquidation Company) took on all the debt. In Sioux City Iowa there was an AC Rochester Plant that made starters. The business was leaking toxic chemicals into ground water and GM was...
This is not my area of expertise, so I hope I am asking this question correctly. I have a friend who has a dyno that is set up for Chevy's. It looks like I would need to get a bell housing converter to be able to dyno my 383? Is anyone familiar with what I might need or where I can get it? I...
I have not even finished the 383 RR and I am onto the next thing. I am looking at a 1968 426 project. A friend of mine has a ton of mopar stuff and we are again talking prices for a motor. For around 6 grand(hopefully a little less) I can get a good block, all the parts I am going to list are...
Anybody know what it sold for? What is the controversy with this car? I guess I had not followed it that closely. I watched most of the Live Auction, but did not see the Daytona. There were not many Mopars, but I did see a 66 Hemi Coronet sell for what I thought was pretty cheap.
Ok, I am snowed in at home today and just having a little fun. You know the adult film industry is going to come out with a parody film of this saga. (Yes I am having fun at someones demise, sorry). How about some good ideas for the name of the film. I have two.

We are getting so close to being done with our 69RR project. Here are a few pics of the almost done motor. The credit goes to my son on the motor. I am the body/find parts guy. Regardless, we can't wait until the spring to get this thing back on the road.
Wow how the mighty have fallen! Really has to scratch your head at this. It sounds like now that possibly his mother-in-law attempted suicide. Hard to understand that this guy who is worth billions and had it all, really did not have it all. I guess the Swedish supermodel was not good...
Well after living my entire life in NW Iowa we are moving to the SE corner. We are going to have to pack up years of crap. The RR is darn close to being done and now my son and I will need to speed it up to have it done by June when we are moving. We are looking forward to some new...
Well, alot of the pain and suffering is done, more to go, but we have made progress. Here are some pics of some finsihed paint, the tires and rims, and my oldest working on the motor. He did win out and ordered the MSD system and got new roller rockers and push rods from Hughes Motors
Ok, I am now addicted to restoration. We are finishing up our 69 RR and will have some pics soon. I have the opportunity to buy a 1970 Cuda roller. It looks like it will need quarters, and then a complete resto. I am working on the guy and am around 5 grand for the roller. The original...
