Hi Guys - newbie in United Kingdom
« on: November 19, 2008 - 03:43:33 PM »
Just saying hello

I've been lurking a bit on your site - it's got a nice feel to it - not too much attitude (if you know what I mean).

I've been restoring a '72 'cuda for about 5 years now (on and off) and it's getting to the exciting bit now (like putting all the parts back on).

I'll put some pics up when I get more time.

Any chance of adding a Union Jack to your emoticon flags ?

As I say - just saying hello for now.

Catch you later

Thanks Bullitt (for the flag)

As for the engine, I got it with a ropey 360 but I've built up a 360 Magnum (came from a 2000 Durango) to go in there.

I swapped all the ancillaries from an old LA 318 so it looks correct.

I decked the block 40 thou and put in a lopey cam (they're rollers already of course).  It was fun getting all the valve train issues worked out.  I haven't run it yet it's under the bench waitng to go in as soon as the car's on the road.

 :cheers:  Welcome to the site where E-bodies are everything!!!  But all Mopars are welcomed.  Nice transformation going on from looking at your pictures.  Are you doing the body work yourself?
