I have spider caps to go on this weekend.

I like the welds on there better than those chromies but the chromies would look good with the moon caps.

I change wheels every year, may go back to the welds, or thorq thrusts next.

block and heads are at the machine shop. 526 inches of angry wedge coming.

Trans part came in. reverse manual valve body( lot's of button pushing!!) Ultimate sprag, 4.2 lever, billet drum.
Hoping to get it together for Carlisle. We alreay have 10 rooms booked at the hotel! Look for all the 57/58 plymouths!

Getting ready for the temporary engine while the stroker is getting done.
Inner fenders body worked, holes welded up, battery tray removed, skim coated and painted. Crossmember notched and boxed for Hemi pan.

Billet drum, Ultimate bolt in sprag, Rev manual pushbutton valvebody.

This is getting cooler all the time.

The last two years I have looked at this beast at Carlisle and marveled over it and wondered if you were a Moparts member - nice to see that you are.

Your car is gorgeous, and I absolutely love it!

Can't wait to see it again this year!

Getting closer! Still much to do, redo front of exhaust, relocate battery to the back, misc wiring, etc. Fingers crossed will see ya'll in a week!

so, after the stroker not getting done yet, i had a punched .040 over, crank cut 10/10, decked lined honed, cleaned and new springs installed. get it back together, go to drop the lifters in, and 8 out of 16 lifter bores are oversized from the factory, so that's what that little diamond on the id pad means....... which that was check before hand. anyway, with 1,600 into an engine that is now useless, i got this "rebuilt and broken in" 440 for $1,500 bucks. looks to have been honed, crank cut and put back together, and has a small cam of unknown specs. so, get it in, fires right up, no smoke, no death noises.
Back out of the garage, and oil on the floor. take it for a test ride, look like a crop duster, but not from the exhaust....
get it up on the lift, rear main is puking. Pull the pan, look at rear main, old style rope seal. put in new rear main, get it back together. let it run, no leaks. Take it for a ride, more smoke. Pull over, oil leaks again. back onto the lift, pull pan, pull rear main seal, notice crank looks polished in area of seal, clock the seal a little to see what happens. get it back together, still leaking, but not as bad as it was. guess i'll just carry oil and keep an eye on it.
CARLISLE OR BUST!!
Still need to make a heater block off for the fire wall, secure the battery in it's new location, and change the master cylinder, ands she's done for now.

new numbers for the buttons.

It's the red one. Park is the factory "pull handle" under the dash.

Congrats!!!!!!!

I love it!! When is your stroker going to be ready?? I'm building a 520" for my 65 Coronet wagon. Is your engine using a stock block? You are inspiring me to make mine nicer now. Your wagon is amazing!!
