Well, lessie if I can keep track.
1). Workin on my project "Frankenteen". I call it that because it is an 86 318 short block with Magnum heads. It's a fully assembled long block sitting on the floor in my shop. It's going in an 83 D150 short bed with an A833 OD and 3.55 gears. It will be the replacement for my 2004 Ford Ranger. Oh happy day to get rid of the phord.
2). 225 slant 6 long rod motor. 1975 225 block and forged crank. 198 7.005" rods and 2.2 Chrysler 4 cyl KB 239 pistons. Fully ported slant head with 318 valves and big block springs. Rods are at the machine shop getting bushed for floating pins, ARP rod bolts installed and resized. This engine is going in a 1963 Dart 170 2 door sedan with an A833 OD and 4.30 gears. My goal for the engine is 300 HP. With the custom grind cam, 10:1 compression, ported head, Thermoquad and headers, it oughtta be real close.
3). 1956 331 Chrysler Fire Power Hemi. Block and heads cleaned and prepped. What's it goin in? In true hot rodder fashion, hell if I know. I found the entire engine on Craigslist locally and snagged it. I might end up getting an older cab for my 83 D150 and making a rat rod out of that and put the Hemi there.
4). 1968 383. I acquired this block and standard polished steel crank from a very nice FABO member recently (lemontwist340). All machine work done on the block. It's .030 over. I just painted it so it won't rust, installed brass freeze plugs and am waiting on my cam bearings. Again, in true hot rodder fashion, I have no idea what it's going in. That's why I put a feeler out in the wanted section for a 68 or 69 2 door B Body Dodge or Plymouth. I am not picky though.....and would be interested in most any 2 door B body. Ain't like they're growin on trees.
I'll start a separate thread with pictures, if yall are interested......plus since I have yet to install cam bearings in the 383 block, I thought I might do a cam bearing how to with that. Not everybody knows how, and it's very simple and can save you some money if you know how to do it yourself. It requires a cam bearing installer, but you could offset that cost quickly installing cam bearings for friends once you learn how. I am going to take pics anyway, but let me know if there's interest and I will post a nice how to on how to do it.

^ Are those before/after shots? Your engine colors are different in the second photo and the body looks like it needs NO work at all!

those are pics taken from the guy i bought it from. must be the camera angle cuz nothing has been done to the car since i bought it. its been sittn in the garage since april. I will pull him out in a few days and take current pics of the car top and bottom and engine. but its got some flaws that the pictures don't show. I had it estimated at about 4k to paint it again. the guy sed around the front and back windows need the most attention.

Went out tonight to swap tires and wheels from my rat rod truck project to my 65 Coronet. As my black cloud never fails me, here's how it turned out. I got the coronet on jack stands. Got the right rear off. Went around to the left rear and popped the wheel cover off. Somebody had rung off not one left hander.......but all FIVE. It gets better. Then, they welded the ends of the broken off studs to the wheel. I WASN'T going to swap out rear ends....it's an early nut retained axle 8.750 even though it's a 65......holdover I guess.....but now I have reason enough to go for the later 8.750. Dammit all. This will also give me reason to go ahead and get the SS sprAngs and new shackles and put all that on too.
Look at Radu Vladislaus in my avatar. That's how I felt when I popped the left rear wheel cover off. lol

Back from paint
UPDATE: Back from paint. It's closer but still a lot of work to do.

TTI 2" headers into TTI 3" exhaust and soon to be 3" electric cutouts.

This year I'm working with some friends to put together a weird one....a 1964 Fury 2 door sedan......you would think this was a Savoy but it has all the fury emblems, the fury dash, the fury chrome rear valance, and the fury side trim. Very few people will see the final result because it is a race car only. Starting with a 440 with a 9:1 compression ratio, Edlebrock heads, 640 lift cam with solid lifters and roller rockers. Going to start with a 4:30 gear and spool. Pictures will be posted shortly.
