The trans is out to Fraley's in Pontiac for a freshen up, and I've got a few ancillary parts on order. I'm looking forward to driving the big beastie again...

That's it for now...

Sorry to hear about your dad. Time will eventually help. Matt

My condolances for the loss of your father.
Its no conselation, but this thread really made me smile. That build is so much like the one I did for my 84 W150 4X4 @ 5500#, It just ran amuck all over the the chevy and ford trucks and some cars here in my little part of the world. Got me to thinking, I have no less than 4 complete 440s, it may be time to unleash the power of the budget build 440 again. Thanks for the read,pics and video.

Resurrecting a zombie thread....Man, alot of things in life have changed since I last posted to this thing. Moparts really looks different. My shop is a much bigger mess now, but I've got the hoist I always wanted and my capability has increased quite a bit. I let music take over my time for quite awhile and just recently have been getting back to the cars again.

I've still got this C body and been driving it a little bit and chasing parts with it just like the old days. Getting ready for a small interior upgrade to New Yorker seats, since the originals are pretty much shredded.

I'm not very active on here lately but am trying to stop by every so often.

A couple times I have wished I went with a little more tame camshaft, but this one does sound kind of cool (and that probably does matter).

Here is an idle clip. It's a little smoother when warmed up.

Awesome, Rich!

Don't be a stranger.
