deathbound Posted October 29, 2015 Report Posted October 29, 2015 Welcome, VERY NICE! Love the color, engine, everything, but I'd look into getting a new parking brake, must be a pain to put that brick in front of the tire every time you park.....seriously though, perfect looking car. I'm sure Andy will chime in. Quote
casper50 Posted October 29, 2015 Report Posted October 29, 2015 engine and car both look great. Quote

Andydodge Posted October 31, 2015 Report Posted October 31, 2015 Tom, who did the cam and balance?........will have to go for a ride around the block when I'm at Yamba.....lol............andyd Quote
Desotodav Posted October 31, 2015 Report Posted October 31, 2015 Welcome aboard Tom. That's a good looking engine in your old car. I was wondering if AndyD had sold you his spare motor as it looks quite similar to what I saw in his garage... Quote
p10_tom Posted October 31, 2015 Author Report Posted October 31, 2015 Everingham engines in lismore balanced the rotating assembly and waggots ground the cam. They had to cut between the cam lobes for more base circle! She's a lumpy grind for a flatty! Yeah I'll take you for a spin in it Andy I tried to buy andys engine but someone beat me to it ha ha Quote
Andydodge Posted October 31, 2015 Report Posted October 31, 2015 Yeh...Waggots did my cam also, I asked for a 3/4 race version.......the engine went to Perth WA and the car to Victoria...............boo hoo..........think I might take to Dodge out and blow some cobwebs away.........lol.........cya at Yamba........andyd Quote
