Welcome got a car yet, or one picked out?

thank you, yes that was pretty unique, alway wanted to do a cab over like that for a car hauler combined with a rollback bed.

thank you and thanks to everyone here, without you guys this resto would be a hell of lot harder and guarantee would not be nearly as cool.

Been busy with work etc. and working on the flip car for Mecum Indy. Got it too the paint shop last friday for a well deserved paint job. Will be a real nice '86 Grand National when completed. As stated earlier in this thread I was selected on Gearznation what your working on? for a pic of the...

Welcome, cool car a little different from what I was expecting, very nice!

I need one just to fill the dash hole in my 1970, Is that paint splatter on the face plate and button I assume, and will it come off maybe? if it will clean up I would be interested.

Nice start to a project, Welcome.

well what I heard is this happens alot not with just scat, its a common practice as other suppliers. bare minimums is what we get today. Goes with todays standards. I guess the quest is to find people who care and smart enough to stay in business to make a living, within these companies that...

Well talked to guy about Valley performance, He said they are machinist and engine assemblers specializing in Mopars and will answer questions from a non-machinist person. so sent them an email a few minutes ago, gonna see if they interested and have time to look at what I have, not gonna risk...

not very warm in Florida today, and a blizzard in the Carolina's. Must be rough down there with the snow for a few days till it melts off.

I agree that's whats been keeping me on the fence about assembling this. Thanks for the rod thickness go to, Ill be measuring them. I go all out on a project and when I received something that was an obvious mistake and told aaaay it'll be ok, it sucks.

Well posted this issue on FBBO, most stated side clearance like that won't effect anything especially with the newer aftermarket stuff, Just alot of $$$ invested and kinda scared just to call it good with out some professional insite, especially when just one journal is that far off. Just being...

My views are similar, car will be a snotty street car, Maybe a run at the track once or twice just because. Consulting a few other people before this thing goes back together.

Well they assure me that .030 clearance between the rods are fine, they say up in the .040's is acceptable. :BangHead: I was concerned about holding oil pressure with that much of a gap. Would suck to completely assemble this and get 10lbs of pressure with a high volume pump.

ya pretty much, I was straight forward and courteous in the email, but some of my video comments on showing the issues of not even opening the box, installing the 3/4 bearings and rods on the journals, etc were lets say colorful. They are a few hours behind so will wait till noon for a call, if...

we were aware of that, the rod bearings are marked upper and lower which we were not. Thats where our mistake was, that caused the clearance to be tight on two of them. one was right the bearing we got lucking and installed correctly and 3 and 4 has a .030 clearance. I made this aware when I...

well got my stroker kit back, they looked at the rods and said some were in backwards, which caused the tightness, John was unaware that there a top and bottom on the rods. So they had an attitude right away, I was being cool with them and accepted my fault asked if the bearings needed replaced...

and after classifying us with mustangs last year, :mob:

It was mopars and mustangs last summer and more!

good, I was on strike last year, :thumbsup: .
