wayfarer Posted February 5, 2019 Report Posted February 5, 2019 I just finished a 330 rebuild for a customer and weighed it for shipping. Fastenal, $175 to SFO, for those interested. 2 Quote
59bisquik Posted February 5, 2019 Report Posted February 5, 2019 Wow! I knew my 325 was heavy when I installed it and such, but that’s a bit more than I thought. Quote
wayfarer Posted February 5, 2019 Author Report Posted February 5, 2019 Should be similar. I have a 315, complete with PF, maybe I should hang it on the scale. And at 600lbs, probably similar to the 230, not sure. Quote
59bisquik Posted February 5, 2019 Report Posted February 5, 2019 Must be heavier than the 230. With the same tranny etc, she rides about an inch lower up front with the Hemi. Quote

Especially not for a hemi V-8. 12 minutes ago, wayfarer said: I just finished a 330 rebuild for a customer and weighed it for shipping. Fastenal, $175 to SFO, for those interested. I have a 291 S-22 from a 55 DeSoto and a 330 from a 56 DeSoto. I am going to put one of them into my 33 Plymouth coupe. Not sure which one yet. The 291 is standard bore and low mileage with no ridges,but I haven't pulled the 330 yet to see what it looks like inside. I will go with the 330 if I can because the 291 is the special order S-22 engine with the 4 barrel carb and higher compression,and there has to be a 55 DeSoto restorer somewhere that wants it. Which ever one I put in the 33 is getting a 6x2 intake and lumpy cam,so the 330 is as good as the 291 for my purposes. Quote

I cant get over how some of youse, have all kinda projects on the go... I got my 51 Victoria on the road this year. Even got the seats reupholstered and was ready to get the headliner and door panels done. Then I came down with lymphatic cancer,and right now all my money is going to paying doctors and hospitals. Ironically enough,the 51 Vicky is one of the projects I bought to fix and make a few bucks selling in order to have the money to spend on the project cars I want to fix and keep for a while. Kind of a "one hand feeds the other" philosophy. Yeah,it's a nice car to drive and all that,but I had rather be driving one of my "keepers". Quote

Had the port installed in my shoulder to inject the chemo,a bone marrow tap,and my right lung drained again last Monday. This is the 3rd time they have drained 2 liters of fluid out of my right lung. It is flooding my body with fluid as it spreads,and my stomach is also flooded with fluid and putting pressure on my diaphragm that makes it hard to breathe and impossible to bend over. The good news is that even though it is Stage 4,the surgeon tells me they can now kill it almost all the time with chemo,and if that doesn't work they have some pills they can give me as a last result that will kill the cancer. Since chemo is the gentle first step,those pills have to be some serious stuff. I have nothing to complain about. I am an Agent Orange veteran and one of the first to be awarded compensation for it because i was medi-evaced from VN with open running sores all over my torso combined with infected lymph glands. Lymphatic cancer is the one most commonly linked with Agent Orange,so every year I have had since 1970 has been a bonus year. Edited February 6, 2019 by knuckleharley Quote

It's Feb,so we are still going to get hit with some cold days before it's over. No big deal for me either way because I can't work outside anyway. Quote
