Maybe if YOU did the engine build...you wouldn't have to get it tuned better :bigsmile:

If i did the engine build, it would still have the 318 in it that ran like a champ, instead of this warmed up 440 that needs a lot of tweaking.    :bigsmile:

Thanks, I started a project build thread just a bit ago. I am familiar with the Greenbluff area, in fact my buddies shop is up in that area. My buddy is a huge Mopar guy and I will be having him do my body and paint work and helping me assemble/build the car. I was born in Spokane, left a few times and ended up coming back both times, lol.

it's a well known phenomenon, we called it the Spokane Boomerang effect, lol. I did the same thing when I was younger and moved back every time except this last ...... but I'll boomerang back there in @ 10-15 yrs to take over the farm. I'll be over that way again in June for a week to start cleaning the place up .... my dad is a hoarder  :rofl:
