Man there were some cars well over $300K in that parking lot. This was the only one that I thought was sexy. I mean Viper, McClarens, Corvettes of every breed, Shelby ST. I mean everything and this was my favorite.

I saw this at the car show yesterday and loved the fender tag.

Yep. if I find out they did not install another thrust plate then I am rebuilding. I am thinking of filling the engine with diesel and rinsing it out thru the oil pan then remove the pan and replace the pump and strainer. I will use an impact to turn the engine over and try to get as much of the...

Double row timing chain, new along with new water pump and new timing cover with new seals. I am going to walnut blast the originals and resale them. Nothing wrong with them.

Car is 100% original which is why I am hiding everything I do inside of the engine with the exception of the headers and the dual exhaust with turn downs. I am even going to rebuild the AC system and use R12 in it. I even found a 4 barrel Air Cleaner that I am painting for it so it looks...

So the general consensus is, I need to rebuild the motor or does anybody think that I can replace the cam?Change the oil change the pump and move on question mark

I have not taken the photos to the shop yet. I stopped because if I take the timing chain cover off and the thrust plate is missing I am suing. I am thinking about giving them a chance to look at first. I had spare parts I bought but I do not think the thrust plate was in the box of parts. If...

As I have learned. Not buying another comp cam and for sure no lifters.

Yeah. I am in the market for new camshaft. Already have a new set of lifters. I looked at the old ones that came out and they are in great condition after 40K miles. Only wear is on the top where the rod rolled in them. Not to mention you could not push them down no matter how hard you tried...

Well I finally got time to take out the lifters. So we were wrong. 302 Heads do not have a large enough hole to pull the lifters out. So I did have to pull the intake and here are the items I found starting with the first issue. I found a wadded up blue paper towel wrapped up inside of the last...

Have a question about the steering parts on my 73 Dodge Challenger. I recently pulled the wheels and changed out the shocks on the front of the car. I noticed that the boots on several part of the suspension are torn and grease is leaking out of them. I had the car on a lift and did not see any...

Ok guys. Just spent an hour going thru the sales that are local and within shipping range. Please, Dear God, when you post something for sale, post what engine its for, what car it goes on, what years if needed and post what it is. I waste more time researching then I do looking. I cannot help...

So no cam to go with them? What parts stash?

No, just the one that caved in was causing back fire back thru the carb.

Just ordered one from ebay. It will be here by Friday which works out for Saturday.
