    Hood Clearance

    That's true because the Torker intake is for square bore carbs. I have a Holley and a spacer for that engine. But the 318 that is still in the car has a factory 340 intake and a Thermoquad now. It runs well and I like the Thermoquad. The weather is finally getting nice and I took my 'cuda for a...

    Hi DFR360, I got the seats back from Weinmanns and they were a bit more expensive than I expected. $455 for the covers from Legendary and $424 with tax to have them installed.

    I should have replied about this sooner. I did get the 318 running well eventually. The problem was a strange one. There was a hole in the bottom of the intake manifold where a pipe plug deteriorated. Who would have thought to look there? So I replaced the intake with a factory 1972 four barrel...

Weimann's Interiors in Delmont did such a nice job on my Demon's seats so that is where I am taking the "Cuda seats. I am...

    Hi Dfr3604cuda, Thanks for the reply. I would like to check it out and see your 'CUDA. Finleyville isn't far from Greensburg. Hopefully the covid thing will be over soon. Matt

    Quality of original Factory Panel fitment on the "E"body cars.

    Interesting. You would think that the manufacturers would have gotten much better by now with panel fitment.

    Hello E-Body enthusiasts!

    Sounds like you have plenty of work to do now. That 318 could be bored and stroked to a 390 if you wanted more get up. But most people would advise starting with a 340 or a 360 block since the cost would about the same.

    Dec. 9th 2019 was the day it was pulled out of the garage after 21 years hibernation.

    I didn't find the build sheet yet, but the fender tag is still in place.

    Quality of original Factory Panel fitment on the "E"body cars.

    I think that it is factory original paint. It still shines decent.
