Best of both worlds. Nicest stripe and the vinyl roof. Love it.

 

[whayden2003]

Heads reworked.

 

[whayden2003]

All new valves.

 

[whayden2003]

New summit cam and lifters. New summit billet double roller.

 

[whayden2003]

The boys and me aren’t used to working on a nice done car. We are terrified we are going to dent or scratch it.

What Comp Cams kit did you go with

 

[whayden2003]

Summit brand. SUK-6400 288/289 duration. 444/466 lift. I know. Small cam. Trying to calm this ole girl down. Didn’t build this motor. Lots of odd ball stuff. Pistons are out the hole 10 to 15 thousandths. Using the thicker felpro head gaskets to try and lower the compression even a little bit.

Jr. making it happen while I’m at the 9 to 5.

Back together.

Waiting to deal with paint issues before putting on the strobe stripe. Otherwise, it’s about 90% there. I drive it whenever I can.

Good on ya for getting the 383 back together so quick. That’s great.

Indeed, ‘tis my birdie. I’m fortunate enough to live within driving distance to Dave’s shop. He can address my checklist faster than I can earn the dough to pay for it. Ha ha! Really though, worth it for me to have the car safe and ready to enjoy way sooner than I could. He’s THE man for everything Mopar and I’m happy he could fit me in.

Man that guy just seems like the most real mopar guy out there. I have talked to him thru emails when I had questions. Super cool guy.

Been good news all around. My evap case is on the way from Vintage air. The car has a gig Saturday night (cousin is using it in his wedding) cruise Sunday. Big car show next weekend. Then back in the shop to remove all the factory ac stuff and get the vintage air setup in.
