    Need some help.  Does anyone have any of the clips that attach the cover over the headliner that is right above the side windows?  I attached a couple of pics to show you what I need.  Had 2 broken ones when I went to re-install after the headliner was in.  Thanks!

    Thanks guys!  Thanks to shatar4, looks like he has the clips for the headliner I need!  This site is great, I know it would have been much harder to get my Cuda to this point without all of you!   :cheers:

    Those clips are on e-bag from time to time, I'll see if I can find who's got 'em.

    Hey Ken,
    I need to finish polishing my chrome that surounds the windshield & rear glass so I can get them installed.  Supposed to get my 512 back any day now.  They finally got the external oil system from Mancini so they have everything they need to complete the build.  They thought they would have it on the Dyno either Tomorrow or early next week.   :burnout:  Then I can get it installed and hooked up.  Then comes the front fenders & hood, then by about the middle of June....... :burnout: :burnout: :burnout:

    Pickup my 512 tomorrow! :burnout:  I have not seen the Dyno sheet yet but they said it was in the 475HP and 590 lbs of tourque range.  Should smoke the tires pretty decent!  Will post the dyno sheet once I pickup the engine tomorrow.  Also will have some pictures of the beast before I start getting it ready to drop in.

    Mike it looks like you are making some real progress and you may get to drive the Cuda this summer. The headliner turned out great and the car looks like it will be a real head turner. Keep us posted on you progress and take lots of pictures so we can all check everything out.

    Ken, the cam is a Lun-60304 Lunati .513/.533 lift 276/284 duration 3 bolt hydraulic flat tappet cam.  The engine guys said I should put on tractor tires on the back and rent it out to pull tree stumps out!  591 ft lbs of tourque should put a grin on my face.   :bigsmile:   :burnout:  Ran out of time & energy tonight to get the pictures of the engine & scan the dyno sheet.  Will try either tomorrow or Saturday.

    Hey Mike,


    That is a nice little cam you have there buddy.  Would like to know what the installed centerline is if you find the time please.   :chatting:  It is a very mild combo with that cam but very impressive numbers and monster torque with all things considered, well done old mate. :2thumbs:
