I'm sure it just fell through the cracks with the holidays and all. I'm still looking forward to it.

I'm looking pretty free for Saturdays in February. Pick a time & date. There's got to be a great place for breakfast or lunch burritos near by.

Anyone going the the Grand National Roadster Show next weekend??

Re: SoCal checkin' in

What engine do you want ? .

L.A.'s chock full of good used engines of all types , SBC's are prolly the cheapest to find good used ones .

Get a big battery & compression tester and go find one .

Thumbs up Re : SoCal Meet & Greet

O.K. then ;

Just remember to give me as much lead time advance notice as possible ~ I only come here when I get a notice and my Internet access is severely limited these days .

I always enjoy the gatherings of The Faithful , is it O.K. to bring the Hearse too ? .

You interested in a v8 283/th350? Back in November I was told from another member on a different site he had it in his 67 chevy but was goin with something else. He said make a trade offer but I passed cause i already had my 250/th350. He may take a trade if he still has it. Let me know I will try to get a hold of him. I think he is in the I.E.

Post Re : Drivtrain Choices

RE : the 350 SBC & Turbo-Hydro 350 trans is a hard combination to beat because it is cheap & plentiful and as long as you do a compression test , before purchase to insure to bad cylinders , you can tinker it a little bit then plop it right in and begin driving & having fun , if you're smart you can do many basic mods as you go along and vastly increase the driveability as well as fuel economy , using inexpen$ive locally sourced parts....

For starters , always re seal any used engine 7 slushbox tranny *before* you install it and in the case of V-8's , always , ALWAYS replace the cam chain and gears as this affects the cam timing , very few after a few years of use are anywhere near spec. and nothing else you do will make it right with the dang cam 2 degrees retarded from a floppy old cam chain.....

You were going to replace the water pump and timing cover seal anyway , right ? .

Later on you can add big valve heads from a junked later model car cheaply , etc. etc........

If you want to make it all chromed out , that's easy & cheap to do later as you're driving and enjoying the rig .

Yeah , yeah , I AM a InLiner guy but being a Jouneyman Mechanic , it's most important to me to have a good runner and making a tire burning beast On The Cheap is dead simple .
