After two trips to the machine shop the intake finally fits, ended up removing .050 from each side.

I hoped that the intake manifold was going to fit after having the block decked but it does not. I had the machine shop take .020 off both sides and tried but still need more, going to try to get it in soon enough to be able to try again today. Left side is before, right side is after first try...

After some self inflicted obstacles and engine mounts/brackets that needed some work I finally got the engine installed.

In 2022, I got my engine back from the machine shop. It is a’67 440 .030 over with Wiseco flat top pistons at .000 in the hole and a stock steel crank. I bought the first set of heads I could get my hands on which were Edelbrock Performers with 84cc chambers. It has been assembled and ready to...

Yeah, it’s a 500 obviously but someone in the car’s previous life put the R/T emblem on the trunk lid.

After watching the local classifieds for months I located a big block, when I went to buy it I found the guy had a bunch of different engines and was in more of a hurry to get rid of them than he let on when first talking with him. I ended up with two 440’s and the 400 I went there for, plus two...

As parts started coming in I had to tinker.

Oh, and that needs to be updated also.

I’ve been meaning to get a thread started for this for a while and I can’t guarantee it will stay current at this point but here goes. In 2021 I finally found a car after years of planning and searching. Here it is, first day at it’s new home. It was kind of drivable, but it needed some work. It...

Nice work there, looks great! Thanks for posting, I'm in the middle of a project and taking pics but so swamped with other work I haven't had much time to post 'em up. Will get around to it later though.

US Mags Ramblers 18x8 fronts. 18x9 1/2 rear, Michelin Pilot Sport 4S 235/45 and 285/40.

Just getting back on the floor, I’m pretty happy with it. Lots of work to do but feels good to finally see some progress.

You shoulda brought that thing to the Moab show!:lol:

Thanks for the input, I'll have to re-think this a little. It will definitely see more street than track, but not much commuting so I doubt the firm ride would be a problem. I guess being balanced front to rear is my main concern, I know I'll need to weigh it to figure that out more.

I'm getting ready to order torsion bars for a build similar to yours, I already have the MP XHD leafs and wonder if a 1.03 torsion bar will be big enough to balance it out. Car is a '69 Coronet and will have a 440/727, aluminum heads/intake/WP housing. Any thoughts?

Nice work, beautiful car!
