Don’t know for sure as she only mentioned the Superbird.

Here’s 4 that I’d like in my garage. 66 HEMI/727 Satty, original owner, matching numbers engine, 36,000 miles, restored. The gal who owns it street raced it back in the day. Manual steering ;) Owns 3 other HEMI cars, but she brought this one to town: 70 Charger R/T 727 Special story...

Sweet jeezus!

Damn, another company folding due to COVID/supply chain problems. Here’s their website announcement: Scarebird closing Due to latent supply constraints from Covid-19, we have decided to shut down operation effective end of 2022. Items still listed are available - those not listed will not be...

Thanks. I knew it had a Mopar look about it. The dude selling had mountains of VW Bug parts, and a few things like this carb. I think I’ll freshen it up and give it a try on a buddies 383 4bbl conversion.

Found this at a swap meet…told the dude who had it if he didn’t sell it, I’d take it for $35. He texted today so I met him for lunch and bought it. Has a Mopar vibe to it, maybe 440hp? Thoughts?

That’s cool. “Don't get it right, just get it going”

Kinda what I figured. Thanks!

I bought these NOS hydraulic b/rb lifters a few years back. Pulled them off the shelf today, took one out of the box, pulled it out of the plastic and during inspection, I see they all have a waxy substance on the lifter face. Cosmoline? Break in lube? What do you think?

I guess to be clearer, the cars run fine with the ethanol blends, once they are running. But when they sit, bad things happen. Harder cranking in the summer as the fuel with ethanol evaporats out of the hot carb bowl more, so yer filling the float bowl again after you’ve eaten your bowl of...

I’ve been using non-ethanol in my classics for 3 years now. The results have been great, and I pay a significant ~$1 more per gallon for 92 non ethanol, but it’s worth every penny. Alcohol is hydroscopic and absorbs water, bringing rust and sludge into the fuel system. My carbs don’t gum up...

You’re my hero! Daily driving a big block...

Anything can be saved. No rush to decide, pour over it and figure out what you want to do. Is that a tree in the engine compartment?

All great inputs, gentlemen. I have learned something new today!

Saw this in the local CL and I was confused (lol, not that ever happens). Is the 516 any good for performance or a boat anchor? https://seattle.craigslist.org/sno/pts/d/marysville-mopar-closed-chamber-heads/7357414970.html

Moms ‘78 Olds Cutlass Supreme, 350/auto with 2.50 gears(?). This was in 1981.

Hmm, yep not there.

The surprise for me was the heifer the Ford Y block is at 625 lbs for 312 cubes!

I was looking for a basic weight on a “B” engine and came across this. The numbers after the weight appear to be dimensions. Also the list predates the Gen 3 HEMI, and I don’t see the LS, or Coyote. Chevy small block V8 575 (generic for '60s-'70s motors) Chevy small block V8 535 ('59 Corvette...

Haha, We’ve all had similar experiences. My last one was buying some spark plugs on a Friday night. I wanted RC12YC, but one step colder. I told the kid I don’t care about brand, heat range more important, just wanted to get the car going....*blank stare*...”what year and make of the car...
