Welcome to the “Keeping Up with the AoK boys” blog, or in other words, Ramblings about Vintage Mopar Performance stuff with the Kingsbury's and Asche's

This Blog really originated after several forum members suggested I should start a blog. After discussions with the p15d24 site owner, my “brothers”, the guy who calls me his “3rd son” rofl, George Asche, and a few forum members, I decided to take the plunge.

I will start off apologizing in advance to all of the above ! Lol, in other words, be careful what you suggest.

Along the way, I will maybe provide some history of the Asche’s and the Kingsbury’s, what each have been or are up to, and maybe some snippets of our past projects or future plans !

This blog will primarily focus on Mopar. Don’t get me wrong, my father Eddy and George always loved Chevy and Fords. As Dad often said, "if it wasn’t for Chevy’s and Fords breaking down, I likely would have never made a good living !" But after loving their obvious inferior qualities, that ends it.

So discussions about putting 350 chevy v8’s into mopars will be confined to the numerous times one member or another of the family put one in the box of a pickup, because we sure as heck wouldn’t use one to power a vehicle.

So if you think using Chevy V8’s to power anything Mopar is a good idea, well, this blog won’t be for you, so save your blood pressure and don’t read it!

We / I will happily take questions, and will be pretty liberal about letting people ramble on among themselves. As a former Canadian Junior Hockey player I learned early, I don’t need to be in the middle of every fight !

Thanks folks and let the games begin.

I'm not a Ford advocate, yet I have an 87 T-Bird parked. I parked it at 3OOK. It has never been opened has a 5.O EFI engine. I never replaced the spark plugs nor the wires because it always passed Calif smog up to the day I parked it. That Bird had a sports suspension in it but not all that crazy plastic stuff. It was one of the best driving cars I've ever owned. Aside from brake pads on the front, tires and battery, the only thing I ever did to it was replace one water pump.

Lol, well you should have donated it to the Smithsonian or bought a lottery ticket the day you bought that one.  300K on spark plugs in anything is way beyond their effective date.  Now having said that I own a 1998 dodge 5.9 diesel that has 1 million kilometers on it and only had oil and airfilters.   Unfortunately you wont hear a lot of 1987 t-bird talk here !

I'm interested in the blog!

 

Should at least be informative about the history of this relationship.

 

Should be a good read.

 

Thanks for the effort!

thanks for your time and effort to join in.  You and others will be the judge on how good a read it is !  Ad for the history of the relationship.. did you mean between Asche's and Kingsbury's or the family's and mopars ?

I am laughing on the suggestion of getting George online, although interestingly I had him standing over my shoulder yesterday looking at a few things online.  But in terms of having him take the controls, I am not sure that is happening.
