Restomod it is, that works for me. LOL :headbang:

Thanks for the nod on the color, I like it much better than the red too. About the amount of time that had passed, I called him about the engine early on and he blew me off saying that it was all in my head and there was nothing wrong with the engine and he hung the phone up on me on more...

Update. I have installed the rebuilt engine and it runs like a rocket ship. The tires chirp when the trans shifts to second under hard acceleration. That never happened one single time with the Hughes Engines built engine. I saw the Stanton built engine dyno in person and it makes 500 hp, less...

I called it ProStreet because it isn't 100% the way it came from the factory. It is NOT tubbed. Custom gray cloth interior with sculpted panels, fully carpeted trunk, Weld Wheels, Be Cool aluminum radiator with electric cooling fans, headers, stainless steel brake, trans and fuel lines...

Wow, a positive comment with no slams! Thanks Rev. The engine is back in the car but I have to finish up installing the transmission, radiator, etc. That is going to take a couple of more weeks because I have been busy with my kid's sports activities on the weekends. I understand that...

One final comment. For all of those Hughes Engines supporters out there, I have a Hughes Engines rotating assembly for sale for half price. Only 3,100 miles but it is used so I will sell it at half price, $500. Hughes Engines reconditioned rods, Keith Black Silvolite pistons, Hughes Engines...

Sublime is different. It was red. I see red, white, blue and black cars at the shows. Nobody has a pro street '67 R/T anywhere around where I live. The color could always go back to red if desired. I run in the B-Body modified class at the shows.

It was a barn find in Virginia. I got it for $7,500 and it had 74,648 original miles. It sat in the barn for 7 years and the engine started and ran perfectly after I replaced the 2 barrel carb and replaced the oil, plugs, wires, hoses, etc. It now has 78,540 miles and runs almost like new...

I am going to put it to rest and answer a few questions. Why did I race a trailor queen? To see what the engine would run. Who doesn't want to run their car down the track? When you pay for a show ticket at the Mopar Nationals you get to run down the track for free. Why not? Where all of the...

Nice talk. I would encourage you to spend all of your money at Hughes Engines. This car is a trailer queen that does not ride the trailer. So since I keep the show car in storage and didn't run up the miles immediately then I have no reason to expect quality? Time did not screw up the...

You are correct, they never stopped ripping people off. Nice ride by the way... I have also heard nothing but positive things about Chenowith.

Hello neighbor! I was thinking the same thing about the numbers matching engine. Now that I had to go .060 over, it can never be bored larger again. I have $60,000 in it and if it sold tomorrow it would likely bring no more than $45,000-$50,000. If the motor was lost and was no longer...

Not starting the engine was my sarcasm, he didn't actually say that...that was a summary of his reaction. He can't dyno it there because he does not have a dyno. He works out of his garage next to his house. I will be looking into legal action come Monday morning.

Sure thing. I added a picture of the car in question as my avatar picture. I haven't figured out how to upload pictures of my other Mopars. 1967 Dodge Coronet R/T - 440 - Numbers matching #3 of 57 made with options on car. Govier decoded. Fully restored with over $60,000 invested...

He was supposed to be a Mopar engine guru and claimed that nobody made more horsepower. Some other builders that I contacted used his parts so I thought that I would cut out the middle man. I doubt that they use his parts anymore. In the future I would go to Stanton Racing. They back their...

I agree. When I took the engine over there a few years ago, there were not so many resources like Mopar web blog sites. I went to Dave because he was supposed to be (self proclaimed) the Mopar engine expert and nobody made more power than him. After installing the engine, I started finding...

You are wasting your time and money by dealing with Hughes Engines. I paid them $5,862.13 to rebuild my numbers matching 440 in my Coronet R/T. They claimed that it made 525 HP. It dynoed at 287 HP on a G-Tech and ran 15.4 in the quarter mile, .2 slower than the stock engine that had 104,000...
