  1. I have heard the same about the gas...no lead needed. Also, any oil is fine, been running 5W-30 Shell, National, Farm&Fleet SAE 30
  2. I just got back in town from vacation in the stix...let me see if I can run the head over to the P.O. tomorrow (if you still need it) to verify shipping. I apologize for any problems!
  3. I tried to upload photos...but they are too big. make me an offer, as shipping will be a lot!
  4. I have a head off a 52 Desoto you could have for a lot less. Get it shaved, and see what happens, that way you would not ruin the original.

    Oil

    I use National, Shell, Farm Fleet 30w, 5w-30 etc. Sometimes I add a bottle of blue STP. Just make sure it had the starburst of approval.
  7. I see the same thing at shows, and swap meets. I went to the Elkhorn swap meet one year. The theme was MOPARS. There was nothing there that I saw was MOPAR. I think most would see it as a relief from all the 60's muscle cars.
  8. Not sure, but I have a spare...covered in dust.
  9. National 5w-30 and a bottle of blue STP.
  10. get there early, for the best spots. I always park in the Chevy side...confuses everyone!
  11. In my case, i just figure it is operator error...
  12. Gonna be at the Raymond Chevy in Antioch Sunday? On rt 173. All three dealers clear the lots for the charity event tons of cars.
  13. The S15-1 is going in a 52 Desoto that had a S15-1 that went bad. I looked an they all appear the same. I did notice some indentations on the flywheel and crank. Will try that. Sorry for the HiJack!
  14. I am swapping S15-1 engines....will the same apply?
  15. Good idea to drop the pan. You can tell a lot by what is going on in there from underneath.
  16. I was told Dexcron. PowerFlite....0-60mph in 60 seconds...flat!
  17. If the auto trans is the PowerFlite...it does NOT take 10w oil. Only the semi auto Hy Drive circulates motor oil from the engine. Yes, get a manual, good advice!
  18. I am north of you, I have a ton of 218 engine parts. PM me if you are looking for anything! Plano, Bologna, Sandwich...heard that one?
  19. Check out Texas CL listings...till you get back
  20. I sent you another PM. Listen to your DAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And if anyone asks....I am 45 and my dad 75 and I still take his advice (unlike when I was younger)!
  21. Then go with your gut feeling and keep looking. Draining your bank account these cars can do....but over time, not all at once!
