should i post in general ??

I can take a peek at my orig. 71 Hemi Challenger when I get home and send you what you need. I also have some pics on my computer there and can send them if you want.

Anything in particular??

Seriously, you could write a book just detailing a Hemi, and not just one book, one on each year of production! Lot's of variables. If you'd like some details feel free to e-mail me with questions and I'll provide whatever pics I can to help.

*BTW, if you'd care to post multiple pics of your engine I (as well as others) could probably help you on some of the details that jump out as questionable.

Cant i just see one pic - so I make it nicer and then post a pic ..

I didnt put the carbs on backwards or anything ,, But .. its easy to get beat up on this site

How about sending me one of yours in an e-mail? bugframes@msn.com . I won't rat your mistakes out, don't worry.

ok wise guy this is what I got so far .....

did you figger out which keg youre taking to norwalk yet

1971 hemi

looks looks like im doin Ok .. just some minor details ...

yes i have 69 valve covers ( 71 s next year , im broke )

carbs - studs or bolts ???? its hard to find 5/16ths bolts with free spinning washers ..

how is the dipstick held ?

havent spent too much time investigating , but

how does dipstick connect

here it is almost ready to plop in .. er I mean up ..

1970-71 carbs are held with bolts , no washers

dipstick is held with a clip over the tube to a exhaust manifold nut

So now I know the deal with the carbs , Thanks ..

Anyone have a pic of the dipstick and how it attaches ??

The dipstick is held in place by a simple looking clip ("J" shaped strap), the strap has a hole at one end and a loop on the other, the adjacent exhaust manifold bolt passes through the clip hole which wraps around the dip stick tube, the bolt then passes through the exhaust manifold flange to retain both to the head. I don't have any clear pics to post at tis time. The clips are available as reproductions.

Couple other details....

The exhaust manifolds, oil dip stick tube (not the stick itself) and the bolt & clip that holds it are all painted engine color. The intake area between the carbs was covered when the engines were painted so should be raw aluminum. Also, the heat riser tube (not yet installed in your pic) that goes from the intake to the exhaust manifold was painted engine color as well as the bolts that hold it on, the other tube that extends to the H-pipe was raw steel with phosphate attching bolts. The upper drivers side water pump housing bolt that also would hold the power steering pump bracket should be phosphate as it was added after engine paint went on. You seem to be missing the wire harness holder that attaches to the rear of the outboard drivers side cylinder head (attaches with one bolt and was painted with the engine) It's there to keep the positive battery cable/starter harness off the exhaust manifold. The head to valve cover Nuts & studs were covered when the engine was painted, the stud tips on yours appear to have paint on them, should be raw steel/phosphate. I'd need a closer pic to offer much more.
