Well! I see he's into big blocks and Big Transmissions. 727 tran pan, couple of older Hemi valve covers. . . . I would kill to have that much space. The milling machine alone! would be helpful. Is that were you got your "old Coot" talents??? LOL
I was going to ask you if you knew what those manifolds were, but looking at your birth date... I'm two years older than you.
So far, you and I are leading the Old PPPPPPFFFFFFTTTTTT Club.

Yeah,Sonny is about 20 years older than I,and he's probably forgotten more than I know.He did all my racing engines and trans for 18 years,and will be doing my stroker motor this winter.Retired from Chrysler Proving Grounds,Chrysler man all his life,does all the Hemi's & 6 Pac's & trans for Roger Gibsons Restoration.
Hey Rog I've heard of Gibson. I hear they are top notch and not rip off artests. We have Hibernia here. I happen to know who all thheir outside sources are, so I go around them. About the only thing they actually do in house is paint and assemble.
Right now, My C is at the upolustry shop they use getting an interior. The only place I don't use, that they use is the rad shop. I do allot here too, but lack the machinery and room to do more.
I am more a stock guy. Hvae a pile of sleepers. Have a 62 300H in a Frame off. . .did some magic to that motor, it's all new. But the real sleeper is a 59 Saratoga with a 413. It has the shorter version of those cross rams (Those are the long Ram. . VERY RARE!) and dual TBI fuel INjection. Sucker runs low 13's. It also gets about 17 on the highway. I guess that will go down when I get all the rust fixed. . .LOL
Been a Mopar man all my life too. My dad was Mopar. I buy my cars today from the same dealer he did
