Henry J. In college about 1974 I had 3 of them. Put a SBC in one, kept the other two stock. One had the 6 cyl and OD. That car would cruise all day at 75 mph, on old bias ply tires which should have worried me back then but I was too dumb and remain so. I’d still like to build a gasser version.
Sorry but need a lot more info on rust damage. Cowl, rear windshield channel, torsion bar mounts, trunk floor, trunk lid lip, front fenders are all problem areas on these. A rusty one is not much more than $500. A clean body could well bring $2000 - 2500. Lastly, title?
You got me going there. The heads are the Maxx 210 on their website. They no longer appear to be available or the website is not being maintained. I'd bought these a year ago and at the time my checking had determined offset rockers were not required. Anyway, when I read your post I had to run...
Thanks for all the good input! This confirms I think my doubts about trying to run the current springs on the heads. When I pulled one I was shocked at the length of the uninstalled spring compared to the 28006077 springs I was thinking of using. That immediately got me worrying about the valve...
I recently picked up a new pair of Promaxx aluminum heads for a 440 I'm assembling. It appears from their website the only spring selection was for hydraulic roller. The guy I bought them from said they were roller springs. I'm running a solid flat tappet cam, .552 lift. I really only run one or...
Welcome and congrats on exciting project. unfortunate about your brother though. I used a local Maaco for years to spray my cars. Figured someone who sprayed all day would know how to lay down paint. Always made a point to sneak him some cash before he started.
I sold Friday and Saturday. Parts sales were slower than I’ve seen in quite some time. Not the event’s fault certainly. Vendors around me commented about similar results. Foot traffic wasn’t bad but it’s apparent discretionary spending is off based on my limited experience. I sold at Cedar...
I sure admire your attention to detail. I'm guilty of the TLAR approach the vast majority of the time. That Looks About Right. Hope it sorts out as you expect.
Tough spot for you and your buddy. For comparison, I’ve looked at 2 68-9 Roadrunners in the past few months. Both taken apart, both needing finish bodywork and paint + reassembly. One did need trunk floor work. Both needed interior restoration. One had a pretty fresh engine, the other needed a...
I bought a new Poulan years ago when cleaning up after a tornado. Great saw. Gave it to my son who was always having trouble with saws. It continues to serve him well. I then bought a clean old McCullough. Was just a bitch to start and gave me fits this month cutting down some trees. The guy...
You guys never cease to amaze me with your attention to detail. I’ve still got pistons and rods to install in the fresh 440 block, just got valve springs for the new aftermarket aluminum heads, finally found my extra windage tray misplaced last fall. Then to pull the trusty 426 from the car...
