Most good paint jobs in my area cost between $8-10000. Materials range any where from $1200-3000 depending on what brand of paints and color. Friend of mine pd 8500 to paint his Ford and it was just a basic blue and car was pretty straight

Very nice. Get yourself a starter off a 94-95 dodge truck with a v8. They are high torque and much smaller. Would give you more room

I would have left the efi pump in the tank ran a return line and regulated it down. Much more reliable and quiet compared to inline pump. Looks good though

Plus those trans are probably the simplest to build. Built my own for years. Watched a guy once and realized how simple they were

Looking good. Wish I was this far on mine. I'd like to just get it back rolling again

Yep like this one.http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j148/LODI3QTR/1950%20Plymouth%20Wagon/_54-----_zpsa89921f2.jpg I'd buy one if its priced right

Wish I could find one for my 54 dodge suburban

That is cool

Looks nice. At least you have a place to go sit and look at service manual or write something down if you need to

Back in the day people used to take the old cams and cut a groove front to back on the journals then put the cams in and rotate them to clearance fit them. I have a cam that's cut that way. I've only done it once and it worked fine. Motor had 75k on it when I sold truck and had great oil pressure. I've personally never had one go in and turn the first time. My machinist I use now always asks for the cam I'm going to use

I've put together several dozen big block Mopars and have had to have all cam journals line honed. If not the cams are hard to turn. My last one I had the bearings in and out 5 times till it turned free. Also have seen people polish the bearing to make it fit

That's awesome. Best rewards are when things come together and work

sorry to hear about that. I figured that would have ran pretty good since the weight of the cars are pretty close. I built a 400 stroker. They run well 400 block .030 over 440 crank and use chevy bb rod you'll get a 472. I have one in my wife's 66 charger. Six pack cam and 10.1 compression with Mopar aluminum heads and put out 513 horse.

ya I cut and reshaped the original snuber to get more clearance. Also raised the car an inch in the rear. Still very low but that's what I wanted. Next weekend onto installing rear wheel wells back in.

Well pinion is 1" from the snubber. I like it but what a chain reaction to clear everything else.
