Under its own power - PICS
« on: May 14, 2008 - 05:42:08 PM »
Finally got my 318 to 440 4 speed conversion up and running.  Took me awhile to get rid of those pesky header bolt leaks (thanks StRoKer I did have the teflon wrapped the wrong way on the bolt that was leaking).  Pulled it out of the garage under its own power.  I know it is pretty dusty but now I can start working more on cosmetics.  Flat hood won't fit so Mopardave is going to supply me with an RT hood. Wahoo.
I may be schizophrenic,
but at least I have each other

  You got a 50-50 chance to get that teflon tape right, and I have been wrong before.   :banghead:

Looking great and running on it's on power. Must be a good feeling and a relief to have it running again. Wish I could hear it run!
