Hey Jackie, maybe i missed it, what springs did you go with?

I wish i had a lift to put mine on!!  :working:
Those springs are of a Challenger that was totaled, it had 11,000 miles on it. They were blasted and painted . I had all new bushings here from my front end kit. We're gonna put them on . If we think it needs on height. We're gonna take a leaf off mine and add to them. I got the leaf springs for a pot of chili. :bigsmile:
I wish that was my lift too.

    Air Shocks?!?!?     :scared:     Tell Me it Ain't So.   :grinno:

 :grinyes: Yep Jackie was using artificial enhancers to hold up her sagging rear-end!  :poopoke:  :smilielol:

Air Shocks? ....Don't worry, they will be off very soon.  ;)   

Those rear-end exercises are starting to work for you Jackie!  :naughty:  :thumbsup:  Luv Ya Girl Friend!  :wave:

The Challenger is nekid.   :scared:  The motor is getting pulled today. All new freeze out plugs. It has a ton of stop leak in the motor.   :screwy:   :faint:  The heads are back. They were warped.

It has a ton of stop leak in the motor.
If the engine has that much, the radiator and heater core may be clogged bad and need a good cleaning.  Your making good progress.

Nows the time while the engine is out and welsh plugs are out to pressure wash inside the water jackets, that is after fitting the heads back first, as mentioned heater and radiator would also be a good idea too. I did inside my water jackets when I replaced the welsh plugs on a previous engine, dug around the back with a screw driver first to loosen up at the back and blasted away.
