>>>*Just dropping by to say howdy and introduce myself. I am an old retired engine machinist and rebuilder.

*I probably should fit here since I am into inline engines (1969 Winternationals class champ DG/Dragster)...*well, that was a 321" Chevy but still..I mess with Toyotas, Datsuns, and Fords and AMC's.

I kinda like the old slants too, my Dad used to kid about how when the bodies rusted out, we could block them up and use the engines to saw wood!...*LOL**..

Anyway, hi and hope I am welcome....*EB

Sure, you are welcome!

I am guessing that you will have lots of useful advice. Please feel free to share. Most of the people here are pretty friendly, and I am sure that you will fit right in.

Thanks for coming over

Anyone who has or still does rebuild engines and can offer advice or help to us who never have will be more than welcome.... Maybe even sacred......

>>>*I had me an old Plymouth a jillion years ago, a 1964 Belvedere. It came with a 318 but threw a rod so I bought it for $60 and stuffed in a 225 that came out of another car that lost an argument with a tree. It had a 3 speed stick in it, on the floor, I just swung it all in there. Cut me a hole in the floor for the gearshift, cut up an innertube and made a boot cover.

It was way underpowered so I bought a 4BBL intake manifold from an outfit called Clifford. *Don't know if they are still around. I managed to get a Rochester off a 1964 Impala on there after making some parts.

It actually ran pretty good from about 50 mph up, but if I got in too much of a hurry with the gas pedal at low speeds it would shoot flames you wouldn't believe.

Then one day I figured out that it had an automatic ratio rear end in it, which is why Saturday mornings were "replace the clutch" day...*LOL**...If I stopped at the top of Main street in Toledo, Oregon, she wouldn't pull herself, I would have to back down the hill and go around.

Of course, that meant I backed up past the police station, they used to come out and yell at me.......*EB

Those were actually dual Weber two barrels on I believe an offy intake. Sweet set-up and easy to tune. the same company carried several different set-ups and also some nice fastener kits. they have been closed for over a year, can't figure out what happened to them, very sad, I was just about to purchase the dual Webers when they shut down.

Last time I checked you could still put the set-up together on the Weber site but get out our wallet.....or guard it with your life, one or the other
