Getting ready for the weekend, Picked up some weld thru primer and some more Copper wire for my Mig, gotta clean up the rear frame rails and finish the interior floors Saturday, Sunday I have to head to the otherside of Ontario and Pickup my new (-used) 340 J code heads.

Planning out my Engine project next, just figured out my order from Summit:
Taylor Street Thunder plug wire set
Fram Air filter
Fram PCV
Fram Clear fuel filter
Stant 180 Degree thermostat
Summit True Roller Timing chain
Autolite Copper plugs
Fel-pro full gasket set
Accel Dizzy cap & rotor
Accel Points and Condensor

Also ordered a quart of Chrysler Engine blue from Eastwood (among other things)

So thats a fair bit of my paycheck already spent.

Ahhh sweet memories.....

I picked up some argent silver from Eastwood about 2wks ago....they sent it almost the next day too. Nice.

A good days work.

And yes it's loud without exhaust, and can you guess which side I have finished in the interior floors (I have the cancer cut out and the new pans ready to go in, ran out of time today.)

That is dead on paint. I'm happy with the way my road wheels are turning out.

I thought about you today when my kerosene heater was blasting in my face. I'm practically a girl compared to you but I am in my 40's so I've earned it.

Refresh my memory.
Why do you have five (!) heads.

[polara71]

Two heads are better than one, come on Stan!

 

['69FuryIIIConvertible]

Guy wouldn't seperate them, so I bought all 5, for less than another local guy was selling 2 for.

Nice score then. You're good for two V8's and an inline 4....
What #s are the heads?

['69FuryIIIConvertible]

I forget now, but will write them down tomorrow. Hot tanked them today, there less crappy looking.

Stan, I had to get something out of my truck, took a few pictures and got some numbers. All 5 have 2.02 Intake Valves and 1.60 Exhaust Valves.

I hot tanked them, the rust is surface, if you wipe it with a damp rag it comes right off.

Forgot the numbers:

Yessir, I thought so.

['69FuryIIIConvertible]

Well my grandparents bought a house with a heated 2 car garage, I was told when I get the plymouth together it can spend it's winters there, so thats good. Still working on my 340 heads.

Nick

 

[polara71]

Nice, a heated garage ... I wonder what that is like

 

[cm23uoc]

Dry cold garage is actually even better as cold air stores less humidity AFAIK, but the difference is not too significant if the place is dry.

I'm a happy Camper, weekend is off to a good start, found this, I've been watching and waiting for them to upload it.
