Good one Chris ( Dan)  unhemi 348 can only wish. 

it was great to see ya again Chris. it was a good day for me, spend the forenoon in the garage rebuilding carbs (sorry Dave), had you drop in with a 348 in the back of your truck (nice score on the intake), motor off in the 55 down to dans (gotta love the overdrivein the t5), speeding the late afternoon in a garage shooting the breeze with other auto enthusiast at Dans. then off to a cruise following the 28 down the back highways to port hope and supper (thanx for supper) gotta love pizza pizza. i even had time to hit GT boutique on the way home to pick up a mother day gift for today.

Here we go!!!!

Nice to see the fashon police are active . Do you have people at the gate checking clothing lables befor you are allowed in the gate. I am guessing your lawn chair probably matches your shiney paint job and your feather duster is never out of reach . Given your superior fashon sense, please oh wise one tell us what is the required attire for the approately dressed rodder this year. Ed

 You Guys need to realize that this forum is exactly the same as all the TV shows we watch . It ain't real life ! People are different when they're not behind that keyboard.

Hey the cool thing about the Port Hope vintage tin gathering(just can't bring myself to say cruise night) is the local radio station 89.7 has set up a show just to go along with it. You can phone in any requests and they play songs that are unusual. Really cool of them to get behind it. Ed

It was good to get out to see y'all.

First time this year riding in a carbureted vehicle. I found it nostalgic, and not as bad as I remember. No anxiety at all this time.

 Something stood out as wrong , after closer examination Ive came to the conclusion that stax's is sporting common hole digging dirt . Not auto related at all. My god man have some pride. Second infractions are punishable by being keel hauled under a Dodge. ...... To scary to even think of .

 When's the last time you've been under a Dodge?

 To diagnose ring and pinion noise from a non-Dodge part. You forgot to add that !!

 Best of my knowledge, there was nothing broken, or on the verge of breaking. And mostly from a guy who is in search of perfection, (a bit anal maybe).

To be quite honest, I've put a 9" Ford under my '38 Dodge, and it will be coming out ASAP.

It was simply cheaper and faster to buy an axle that was the proper width, then to get an 8 3/4" width modified to fit.

So yes, I will have a late '50's Ford 9" for sale in the near future, complete, drum to drum.

 

So, you didn't say, when was the last time you were under a Dodge, fixing it?

            The last time I was under a dodge (1968 Plymouth barracuda formula S) was 1986

             checking for a spun bearing, turns out it was a broken c clip on the piston pin and wore

            a hole thru the cylinder wall . 2ND  340 I had that happen. put it back together ,

             sold it and never looked back piece of shiit 340's , I am looking for another 68 cuda

             but will put a 5 liter , 5 speed ford in it

one of the supposedly best builders in TO at the time, wouldn't stand behind it,

claim over revving I claimed re using old clips !!!!

There's a reason 340 blocks and parts are hard to find

and it's not because they are all in the hall of fame

they were notorious for blowing up . I went through 5 motors in 5 years

I swear to god the things had square crankshafts .

Haven't blown up  anything since getting rid of the Plymouth!!! 

Dodge made some of the most reliable cars ever , what about the K car went years past , you wanted it to and they have been major trend setters , what would life be like without a herd of Mini vans . I have to admit I have never been under one to fix it. I always preferred to just sign the ownership over and leave it on the drivers seat. 

I hope that car runs better than that truck !!!

 

OH !! BTW, machining costs have just doubled ! HAHAHAHA...

 I could still see spots in my vision the next day !!

 

When I'm focused on getting something done in the garage, I usually close the garage door and wear nothing but an extra large pair of adult diapers. No clothes get dirty and no wasted time with silly bathroom breaks.

Bet you guys are glad I wasn't invited
