Some update pic's,I just just keep chippin away.I want to be ready for Carlisle!!

 

[HEMI-ITIS]

Engine compartment spray bombed,gave the block a new coat today!Hope to get the shortblock assembled this weekend...............

 

[HEMI-ITIS]

Getting the intake,valve covers,scoop,and engine plate back on Monday. They clearcoated everything except the scoop.I still wanted something to polish.They say after the coating,just wash with soap and water and rinse.
Dry to avoid water spots
Sent complete grilles out,one will be polished and the other powdercoated black.Any predictions which one will win and stay on the car????/

 

[HEMI-ITIS]

Intake had to go back to the machine shop,the blower mounting surface is not true and the clearcoat they sprayed everything with has to be milled off.
Tried to assemble the heads today,when the machine shop "touched" the seats they made a boo-boo,so back to the machine shop to drop them today.He was very apologetic and will have them ready Wed afternoon.This shop is a 70 mile round trip

Well....pull your finger out and start wrenching.
How long before you get all the parts ready to assemble again? Sounds like it might be a tight squeeze to make Carlisle.

 

[HEMI-ITIS]

Will pick up the bare heads on wed,so hope to assemble the heads that afternoon,that should take maybe 2 hours.Block is wasc cleaned and cam bearing were installed and the block recleaned.The bearing have all been massaged & prepped and the rings are prepped and in their proper boresSo between Wed & thurs the long block will be assembled..Can drop the engine in on Saturday.After the engine is home,still have fab mounts for the new Afco aluminum radiator and modify the exhaust to accommodate the engine set back.

 

[HEMI-ITIS]

New polished Manley springs,titanium retainers and spring cups came in from http://www.mopartsracing.com/tmc/. Todd is a great guy with ample stock.He had the Milodon bronze freeze plug kit in stock as well as the Milodon crank gear that needed to be replaced.The oil pump drive with the bronze gear was in perfect condition so it will be reinstalled.

hemi-itis , what about rods ?

I'm the last guy to ask about rod length and pin heights.I have the smart guys figure it out.If your looking to build an engine,here is a great place for MOPAR parts and tech for rods,blocks. He also knows all the math.Tell Todd HEMI-ITIS sent ya!ks
If you not a hands on guy,then you need to get with a engine builder.
