Spend the small fortune on new aluminum. It won't be nearly as fussy about the fuel you feed it, and no matter whose head you chose, a noticeable increase in performance from increased air flow over stock. I was surprised that you said they cut the decks .010". The reason I mentioned the deck...

That slight offset on the cam bearing oil hole is a non issue as far as oiling goes. You said you paid a lot for machine work. What exactly did you ask for, and what did it cost. The decks don't appear to have been cut, which unless you just asked for the block to be bored, should have been...

Your best bet for shipping would be to ship them to Sumas WA and pick them up yourself. There is a company that receives packages for a nominal fee there. 440 Source can tell you how they package their stuff. Packing, Shipping, Mailing | Sumas, WA | Letterlock Sumas Kevin

C-Bodies are all the same from 65 to 73, Dodge Polara, Monaco, Plymouth Fury, Chrysler 300, Newport and New Yorker. Any of those cars equipped with drum brakes, use the same ball joints as a 69 to 73 disc brake cars. 66 to 68 4 piston Budd disc brake cars use a different lower ball joint but...

With the exception of the wheels, none of that will fit a C. Spindles from a 69 to 73 c-body are a bolt in for all 65 to 73 drum brake c-bodies. They use the same balljoints. 73 is the preferred spindle because the rotors are usually less $$. They use a bigger wheel bearing, so they won't work...

Zero personal Wilwood experience, but my biggest concern with their kits, is all the ones I've looked at, had rotors less than an inch thick. Not the hot ticket for an upwards of 5000 lb vehicle in my opinion. Factory 69-73 discs are 1.25 inch thick, 11.75" in diameter as a comparison. I'd be...

Saw this 64 300 at Mopars in the Park this spring. Kevin

Congrats on the sale. Glad you got close on the money. Kevin

Probably pre 67 full frame cars. 67 and up isn't much different structurally speaking than any other unibody Cbody. Those full frame Imps had a well deserved reputation. Kevin

My first car was a 56 Dodge Regent 2 door hardtop, which was a Plodge, a Dodge front clip on a 56 Plymouth. Flathead with a Powerflite. My 65 Polara wagon has a Fury interior and uses US A-body V8 emblems. A friend of mine bought a new 65 Monaco 413 4 speed, a Canada only combination. Lots...

One of the largest, if not the largest collection of International trucks and tractors on the planet. Macks from chain drive AC model to Superliners and examples of most of the rest of the Marques, more than a few with only a few dozen to a few hundred miles on them. A day won't even put a...

Same style interior as my 71. Kevin

I talked to a guy at a show in Bigfork Montana this weekend that restored a 60 Desoto and he said he was able to get repro floor pans and trunk for his. I didn't ask him where but I think he mentioned a Desoto Club that turned him on to them. Kevin

Get a 62 trans. 1 year only aluminum 727 with the drum parking brake on the tailshaft. I can't remember if it has a Park provision or not, but if it does, you could disable it and use your current setup. It would not work with the 60 engine because of the extended crank flange but you are using...

Even more impressive when you factor in that when actually measured, that 8.2:1 advertised CR is closer to 7.5:1. If you are "tight" on funds, a hone, re-ring and bearings with a new timing chain and valve job, can get you almost as good as new for not a lot. Using a good double roller timing...

In a full manual valvebody with no low band apply function, this is true. If the trans is still fully automatic, or it has a manual valvebody with low band apply, you start in 1, which applies the band in addition to the sprag and then shift to 2 and 3, if the combo has enough steam to maintain...

Missboxed Powerglide shifter? Kevin

The reason for 15w40 is it's a HD diesel oil and still has an acceptable level of zinc and phosphorus that flat tappet cams need. Regular 10w30 passenger car oils don't have enough anymore. It will pump just fine. Kevin

It might have explained the red engine. Kevin
