    Old friend - the build up!
    « on: November 28, 2006 - 02:00:52 PM »
    Here are a few pics of an old friend I've not seen in a while and certainly she hasn't seen the sun for quite some time.  Needed to load her on the trailer and take her to a new home with a heated garage!   Sweet!!

    I'm going to try to go and pick up the new power plant tomorrow if the weather permits and start preparing for the install.  Lots of work ahead of me!   :working:



    I just noticed how sun faded the carpet is . . . gonna need some new stuff I guess.

    Looks good!  :clapping:

    If you have the extra straps it's best to cross the backs and also use one more if the front.  If one strap gives, you'll still be ok.  The way it is now..... it could be big trouble.

    The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realize it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

    I have a 500ci+ stroker motor that is going to sit nicely in the engine compartment and a new/rebuilt 18 spline HEMI 4 speed for some gear pounding fun!!!   I will safely store the original 340 in a corner of the garage until I get bored with this combo.

    Yeah I agree CODY.  Lucky for me, the new garage is less than a mile and I never went over 20 miles an hour.  All is good!   :thumbsup:

    I've always liked the way your Cuda is set up, sounds like you are going all out in the engine department, any other details on the stroker? Have you already got it built, what kind of goodies are in it, are you buying one or? I'm really not into the big blocks though, just curious more than anything.

    I bought an HP440 block and bored it out . . . it's a 511 stroke and definitely gonna rock.  I had a problem with the intake alittle as I didn't want to give up the stock hood but I have worked that out too!  Probably still wear the 340 badges . . .  :naughty:
