Just curiuos on who's doing anything to their rides over this long winter?
I can't seem to sit still.
Suspension, electric or any motor work?
 
Just having the motor freshened up, that’s about it.

Maybe at the engine builders it will grow from a little 498 to a 605.... LOL

Go through the transmission just to give it a check up, the converter should be fine since it was freshened up last year.
 
yes. freshening the hemi as well, new bearings, and rings.
Everything checked out so far.Heads look good, going to give it a valve job.Rehone the cylinders.
Valves and pistons are looked excellant.
Maybe we can find some more ponied before we butt it back together.

going to install some rear disc brakes,new fan with shroud and some front end work. it's that time of year!! just trying to get motivated.
 
will be putting together the hemi for the coronet this winter still gathering parts for the build picked up a nice used crossram setup for it back in sept complete intake carbs linkage and fuel lines etc not really at the point of needing it at this point but to good of a deal to turn down, next i will be purchasing crank rods and pistons so it will be off to the machine shop sometime in jan( i hope)so i can have a short block done then i will have to save for some stage 5 heads it sure is a slow process what do you guys think about going with a 4.50 stroke hemi? i think thats the route im going to go.
 
My engine has been freshened and still in plastic wrap from currant engine builder ARC.After & if I survive the holidays the parts to freshen up the BDS 1071 roots need to be ordered along with a dominator top plate,crank hub and timing ring and installed.Then I can set the blower on the intake to install the new SV1 carbs and carb linkage then fab up some fuel lines.Once that's all done it's off to the engine dyno where I hope ARC will shine like the sun.I am looking for 2 boost levels,7/8 lbs on pump gas and 13/15 lbs on 116.My hemi is now about 545 inches and I hope it stays there for 4 or 5 years:eusa_boohoo:

I want to rewire mine. And try to figure out why it runs doggy, except when it's wide open. The 383 in the picture is going in my 64 sport fury. I may even race it once. Gotta see what it's got, you know.

That looks like it's flyin while it's sittin'!That should hook & book:idea1:
 
I would like to build a 400/512ci or 440, but not sure if thats going to happen. Because now that i have money saved up again i've been seeing some nice cars for sale :) for example a 72' pro street lemans in primer with a built 455/4speed for 4k obo :eek:

65 Dodge,

Were talking from experience, it doesn't cost much more to go 577 than it does 426.
Check with your machinist and see how much machining it would take to put that 4.500 stroke crank in, I think if you haven’t' already bought the pistons and rods, you'll be ok. If I'm not mistaking that is where your clearance issues would be.
Who is going to do your engine work?

Good luck keep us updated.

Thanks

Kevin

I AGREE.
remember theres no replacement for displacement. Go bigger!
 
we are going for a new set of headers from holt, new radiator, fix the rear end, new tires all the way around (going to try pheonix out on the rear this year, have heard nothing but good things), and also are going to redo the fuel system.

No big changes for us really.
