Keep the details coming it will be very helpful
to all. I'm currently starting the assembly of
my hemi for the 71 convertible and watching this thread.
I realize they're are many details but
can we assume that these details can be used on
both e and b body for 71 ??
Close photo's of detail would be nice and helpful.
Thanks to all who contribute to this thread.

Ok heres anuther one ..

Who sells upper rad hoses that are scripted .

Roger Gibson $ 44 /

Here is the quality of workmanship you get with Frank Badalson.
Dave at ECS was talking about doing the hoses, maybe he will chime in?

does that look good if you stand back 10 feet ?

Just took a look at the pics I have on file. Mostly stuff that has been covered ad nauseum. I did,however, find one that might be of help to some. In this picture you will find an original dipstick (upper) and a repop (lower). The pictue isn't great, but the original has "fatter" insulation and the color is rather pinkish or light brick red. The repop has thinner insulation and is plain white. Also note how it's bent in a different manner.

Good luck with the project, Andy. Can't wait to see it.

Here's a picture of how the dipstick mounts

awesome pics of the dipstickss ...

THANKS very much..

FYI .. Stock dipsticks will not work with spool mounts from Schumaker ..

Will not clear the mounting bolt .. Might need to rebend a big block tube or ?

Want to know how to nearly destroy a new Hemi dipstick tube .. Ask me ..

Careful radius bends need to be made with a PRO tube bender with posibly sand filled in the tube .. to avoid the smallest dimple .. Any dimples wil l affect how the dipstick slides back in ..
Mine was not very forgiving ..

Heres another on the starter area. Thats an original 70 Heat shield and cable holder too

Lightened.

is that a repop bracket ??

Thats a mint original starter cable bracket. I can't figure out why my pics never post nice and clear.

cool details ..

Im a couple hours away from popping the engine up into the compartment

This link shows some cool details ....

Hey Andy. I was trying to get a weekend I could buzz up there for a thrashing session. Unless I brought up my kids(ya right) , its looking pretty grim. Sorry.. I'd love to help. Sorry.
