roadrunnerman- Thank you for the feedback. I suspect that mine will clean up at 30 too, but it's good to know that yours did just that. What pistons did you use? Did you go with new rods and pins too? Do anything to your crank? Details, details. :-) Thanks also to all for the home brew soaking...

A quick spot check along the way showed that all of the journals looked as good as #8: As I mentioned, she put up a good fight. However I was able to turn the crank just a bit, work it back and forth, raise it about an inch, remove the remaining caps and then pull the crank out of the...

RESTORATION UPDATE Progress as of April 19th: * 383 Disassembled All parts stored into freezer bags, as per normal. Well, the parts that would fit anyway. After a week of overnight soaking in lightweight oil, regular oil, WD-40, combinations thereof and finally acetone last night, I decided...

Thank you to everyone for the welcome and replies. I appreciate the support from those who have endeavored to begin such a long process. I hope to learn from your experiences. hunt2elk and roadrunnerman and others - Yeah I wasn't/am not a fan of the green engine color either. From what I was...

I guess someone decided to keep the push rods as a souveneir: Nice taping work on this engine spray, huh? Bottom side didn't look too bad: Naturally she's stuck solid. I've been spending a couple of nights cleaning and lubricating, as well as attempting to clean the bores. But I digress...

Y'all, I decided to join the group by posting a thread regarding my Roadrunner restoration project! Hope it's ok. I created a thread a short while back in the Welcome Wagon forum and now that I have actually begun working on her, I decided to share with the class. After reading several similar...

If you make it to TEXAS, be sure to schedule a stop in Austin!

Funny that you mention that because I came to the conclusion that this is a 69-70 horn that someone made to fit a 74 RR. Have the resto kit on back order. Cool that someone sells those!

Yeah the difference appears to be in the bracket only. Is that correct? Thanks

Hi- I have an opportunity to buy an original RR horn for my 1970 RR restoration project. The seller says that this horn came off of his 1974 RR. In looking at the picture, I don't think that is the case, or else someone put a 69-70 (or 71) horn on his 74 RR. Here it is: I think that the...

Thank you for the continued welcome y'all! DWinTX: yeah the 70 variant is also my favorite. I am so much in love with that particular Road Runner that I waited on the "right" one to come along for 5 years! I like the 71s and 72s too, wouldn't mind having a 71 someday, but first was always...

Ok submitted one post, but said that it required moderator approval. But the previous one didn't. And neither did this one. Hmmmmmmm......hopefully this posting thing will be rectified soon....

Ok one more attempt before I turn off the laptop! I am too excited! :-) Thanks for the welcome, I am glad to have a good reason to join your forum. It's kinda funny but I feel like I have reached the summit of a high mountain or something, perhaps even Everest, because the wait to own my...

Y'all- Have tried to post during the past couple of days, but having issues. Reported it to the admin...possibly an issue with IE9. I run a vB forum of my own and am not experiencing these problems, but am running vB 4.1.3. Anyway, this is a test post. 6pktgo - thanks, I did try to post...

Hi Y'all- I hope you can welcome another new member from TEXAS 'cause just this past Sunday I took delivery of my first "American muscle car"; a 1970 Plymouth Road Runner! I will post pictures tonight after work. I spent all of Sunday night just sitting in my outbuilding looking at it and...
