My Engine

Beautiful Nick, simply clean. Gotta love that ARP (is that right) hardware too. And by the way, happy birthday.

thanks mike....yeah thats an ARP stainless bolt kit. I wont be getting another one though. I was missing all kinds of bolts, and so was GunPilot on his.

Looks sweet... This is the one for the TD right?

PS- Happy B day!

yep, this one is all for the trailduster

I like the other valve covers better myself i think they look meaner id shop for another booster.But thats just me.Sweet engine though no doubt.

All I get is the small x in a box?

same here, no pictures showing...just little x in box

Bob

ditto

um double ditto i see two X's

sorry bout that guys, the pics should be working now

Yep, I see'em now. Nice looking engine Nick. Real Sharp! I can't help but notice you have your heater bypassed on the picture of the engine in the TD. Any reason for that, or do you not use your heater?

Bob

well umm...i uhhh....kinda hit it when i was pulling my old motor out, and broke it.

of course i didn't know this till after i started the engine and saw it spewing antifreeze all over the place.

nice engine there keep it running good and keep it clean

3600 miles later its still running, but unfortinately its not as clean.

I'm gonna do a 1" body lift pretty soon to clear my MP valve covers, and put some magnum exhaust manifolds on it and get the exhaust system bent. After all that i'll spend a few hours cleaning it up and take a new pic

You broke your heater core? Well, it's not like you'll need it 75% of the time anyways, being out there in AZ. Oh well, I'm sure when it gets cold enough for ya, you should be able to find another fairly easily . Nice engine and TD Nick, real sharp! Hope to see the pictures of it all cleaned up and purty! Also, 1 last thing. If you find a 1" body lift, let me know. I didn't even know they made them, as I've never been able to find one myself. Thanks in advance, and Nice TD!

Bob

4wheelparts.com has the individual lift blocks for $1.99 each, i'm gonna buy a bunch of those and come up with my own bolts and stuff and go from there.

the part number i have for the 1" blocks for full size is... PERBB01

SWEET! Thanks Nick, I've been unable to find that for some time now, and it's CHEAP too! I'm just gonna start calling you whenever I can't find something from now on J/K

Bob

what mainifold are you using on that motor? if its the MP unit you may have to trim the MP valve covers to get em to seal.... my 71 dart has the M1 intake and i have a set of MP valve covers and they wont seal because the intake side of the cover hits the manifold causing it to lift. not enough to notice but enough to blow oil out of... just a little FYI..... but otherwise that looks KILLER!!!!!
