    A little snow and ice.

    I don't know what the high was in Tucson this afternoon, but it was 102F when we left at noon. We will be in the high 90s this week at 4300ft, high desert. :)

    Coolant in oil, fresh build

    Many years ago we raised a sunken Chris Craft outfitted with counter rotating 413s, we used kerosene in the same procedure as you described to save the internals, but it didn't have head issues to trouble shoot. Both engines ran fine afterward.

    What I have and future plans

    Sometimes things don't work out as planned. A good friend and myself (mostly him) were planning on installing a/c, and after some years of his wanting to buy my Camaro (very fast), I agreed to show him the total package so we could negotiate a price, and show him what big block 440 torque is all...

    What I have and future plans

    I enjoy working with numbers and will often research for months before making serious purchase decisions, head flow numbers, matching cams (shift point rpm drops between gears) to transmission/diff ratios et al. Software helps with different comparisons, but most importantly, helps me to...

    From Lunati Is your Q-jet 750cfm or 800cfm? Stall? A/F ratio? Many, many years ago when I went from being a straight line enthusiast to being an off-road desert enthusiast, I had a built K5 Blazer with a sbc 406, camelback 2.02 heads, 11:1 @4500ft, Lunati .230/.230 109/107 @0.50--cam tech...

    Agree, can't go there with green interior and tan body color, bad, bad mental imagery. :D

    We didn't see many metallic painted cars back in the 60s, I didn't think about green one way or another, but seeing the F8 paint for the first time, all those decades ago, won me over. It was love at first sight seeing the F8 hemi rr and 0-60 on the test drive was music to the ears and a push on...

    I understand it was a nice group there, wish I could have met the owner at one of the car shows. The previous owner before me passed away. I was hoping there would be forum members who recognized the car and could tell me more about it. :) This car was also at the MoPar Nationals August 1989 at...
