Mick, I'm glad you were able to get that DODGE script to work for you. Looking forward to seeing the photos!!!! Alas....I'll probably never be able to own a UTE but at least I cansole myself with the knowledge that I was able to contribute to the resurection of one !!!!

Sorry....it's spoken for.

I'll go to the parts store today and see if they have one of those needle nosed grease attachments. Keep the TO bearing Don unless you can fax it to me right now:rolleyes: .

Hey....one new project isn't really enough. Maybe you'd like to take this one on too. You could come and get it and drop the camper off. $1000 outright or $700 + the camper. Just an idea. I'm getting ready to list it on the Bay.

OK...I'm going to install the engine in the Coupe today and will be reusing the throwout bearing. Should I lube the bearing and if so how?

I do...and it would give me some more dry storage for parts.

That's crazy !!!! It also went for more than I just paid for this puppy (49 Plym Suburban) This one came with a good head and an entire car attached.

That camper is a collectors item. Don't junk it.....put it on eBay.

A Franklin ????

There is!!!!!!....you just started it. You go girls !

The frenzie has begun! Thanks again Harold. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=120192410838&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT&ih=002

Maybe not.........there could have been a sniper or two laying in wait till the last minute. Glad you decided not to sell. They're not making them any more.

JH, Oh......My.....God......! Has your wife gotten wind of what you've done ?

Wow ! Nice wagon Lou.

Yeah Bob. I think you're right. Maybe I should have my head examined.

It is Norm. It's going to be interesting to see how the engine performs with that 2 bbl carb. My plan is,or was,to only run this engine in the car for 6 mos or so until I have time to rebuild the original '42 engine. My friend who is helping me with the r and r seems to think the the engine that came out of the '42 might not really be a '42 even though the engine number says it is (might have been altered). If that's the case then you are right. The '48 Dodge engine will stay put. Does anyone here have a book with casting numbers? The casting number on the '42 Block is pictured # 870229-3 and heads casting # is 870066-2 There is no date cast into the block under the distributer.

New tally from both boards. (10) OK's (1) Not OK Since my friend is helping me with the engine swap I won't tell him of this little survey.

Tidy I'm not. The lift is a recent and long awaited improvement. It was under $2K delivered to my house. No more dirt in the eyes and mouth,wrenches just out of reach and unnecessary sit-ups. AH ! My ceiling is 12' high and every vehicle I've had on it had plenty of clearance above. Remind your wife that Christmas is right around the corner.

Well Don....I knew there was a bastard in the mix somewhere. Glad it wasn't you afterall.

Yup !!! Dual carbs,dual cherry bombs,and dual S's. Don...so you're the bastard ! You taught me everything I know about sniping but not everything you know eh?

I've been looking for a very very long time now and finally found a SpitSfire Head for the 23" 230 ci engine. Extremely rare ! Might be the only one in existance !

OK....so far we have (3) OK's and (1) not OK. Thanks for not straying to far from my little poll. Anybody else?

That's what I have heard over the years too. Anyone here have a .060 over or more engine they can report on?

Well...the strange thing about his comment is that he is an old Mopar flathead guy too. He has owned and worked on the old L-6's for 30 or more years. Any one here have a rebuilt engine bored 60 over?
