    First cam swap questions?

    You didn't note it but you need to purchase new lifters if you haven't already. If you didn't, RIP your brand new cam and engine. Brake cleaner will take the carbon off the heads. I would take to a local engine shop and pay to have the heads decked since you pulled them off the engine because...

    Holley 650 on 383//727 kickdown solution tip?

    You could switch over to a cable system instead of the conventional lever system, that's what I did. I think they cost $70 or something like that. I don't know what bracket you may need but a cable system should solve your problems.

    how much are your dogs

    The worst part is most Mal owners don't know what they are getting into. Definitely not for the faint of heart or someone who cannot make time to mentally stimulate the animal. Hollywood is making another movie about a Mal again. It makes me upset, more people are going to go out to purchase...

    how much are your dogs

    Paid $550 for my Belgian Malinois back in 2014 out in SoCal from another service guy who had no idea what he was doing. Best money ever spent and I don't know if I will ever be able to get another dog after he passes. He is a very good boy.

    Proper progression

    Generally speaking, yes all the body work and paint is done at the same time. I wouldn't take it apart till I was ready, had the time to thrash on it, and the money to do it right.

    I worked at a custom shop, cant tell you how many auction cars drove through the doors with fresh paint hiding some hideous work. Fresh paint scares me

    Wife Encourages Husband To Buy Thing So She Can Justify Buying Other Thing

    Been married 8 years going strong. The same goes for me too, and she can buy whatever her little heart desires. $700 shoes, luxury handbags, w/e. I don't tell her what to do with her money and she does the same. It all works out for us personally, everyone's relationship is different. We also...

    Wife Encourages Husband To Buy Thing So She Can Justify Buying Other Thing

    Yup If my bills are paid, my 401k is paid, and I pay myself, I am free to do whatever the hell I want with the rest of my money. My wife knows where the door is if she ever wants to leave.

    Craigs List $8,500 1972 Clone (not mine)

    I think it might be real. It needs to be rewired though, it looks all hacked up. I have a spare 440 and 727 I could drop in that car. Wish I wasn't overseas and it was closer.

    73 Challenger on Gas Monkey Garage $4500

    No... If you read Richards book the timelines for the build were pushed by the Discovery channel. They wanted the quick turn around for TV. And Richard started GMG with the goal to get onto TV to get rich after watching American Chopper. He also says that in his book.

    73 Challenger on Gas Monkey Garage $4500

    They kept it going for a few seasons, I believe he announced earlier this year or last year that they had stopped filming. His restaurants were losing money because the food sucked or it was a toxic environment for the women I can't remember. His ratings probably went down after Aaron left too...

    Your "perfect" classic car?

    What I enjoy the most in a classic car is that I feel like i'm driving a 50 year old car with 500hp. To elaborate, modern sports cars feel too... err, "planted" is a good word i guess. Modern suspensions, contoured seats, traction control, big brakes, etc. I get more of a rush driving a old...

    best heads for max wedge engine

    If I were you and I wanted great performance with somewhat of a budget in mind for a 540ci engine. I would sell your stage 6 heads and bug a pair of TFS 270 CNC heads. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/tfs-6161t783-c01 These have the same 270cc ports that Indy's EZ-1 head has and are around...

    Cracked crankshaft counterweight: Repairable?

    Hi Bob, maybe i should have been a little more specific. I was not specifically referring to weld repairs on the counter weighs for cracks although that was and is the context on this thread. Please let me be more clear, I was generalizing when i said that sentence, eg: welding slugs to counter...

    Cracked crankshaft counterweight: Repairable?

    Like others have said, tough to make a call without pics. I personally don't see how this would limit you to a max rpm. If welded correctly, the weld will not fail before the parent material does. Although people have been welding on crankshafts for decades, that is nothing new. But do you...

    518 Heads

    From my understanding the 915s and 516s are similar. But the 915s flow better and have bigger exhaust valves.
