    Hi from San Jose Cali
    « on: August 28, 2008 - 07:07:50 PM »
    Hi everyone. I am currently rebuilding the motor of my 1973 340 Dodge Challenger and saw this site with the forum and thought it was about time to join a Mopar family. I know must of you think a post is useless with out pics. I will get them up soon. I should be putting the motor in tomorrow sometime but got a lot of work to do still. Hope everyone is having a good day I will post those pictures soon. :)      :wavingflag:

    Welcome, James. You're right about the pics, but as long as you know, we can have patience  :bigsmile:

    I know a guy in San Jose who used to own Challengers. He's an idiot, though, so I wouldn't wish him on anybody.

    WOW  ;D You all replied fast!!! I will get them up soon.
    But it is Yellow and the engine is a 340 bored .030 over. I put in a new cam and all new bearings. I am running a mopar purple cam. My crank and piston rods are all balanced. I also bought a new MSD ignition and edlebrock air gap performer manifold, edlebrock 650cfm thunder series carb and also headman headers. Thats all I can think of off my head but thanks everyone for the interest in my vehicle and the pics will be up soon.   :newbie:

    Welcome to the site. I am in Sunnyvale. Are you a member of Mopar Alley? If not they put on the show at the Ohlone College in Fremont every year. For the most part it's a great group and we have a lot of fun.
