Fargone Posted August 20, 2019 Report Posted August 20, 2019 The engine is an over sized 251 that I thought was a 265, but with help from Tim and George at Aok I've got a really strong and cool engine. George supplied cam, triple carb intake, rebuilt the carbs, crafted the throttle linkage and carved up my exhaust manifolds. Keith Black Racing actually had pistons for this thing not forged but nice cast units. All that's left is about 2000 small and medium sized jobs to finish her. The guys at Pro Stock Performance Machining asked if I wanted the factory engine color for my engine or if they could use hemi orange. 4 Quote
tom'sB2B Posted August 21, 2019 Report Posted August 21, 2019 I look forward to seeing it with the George Asche triple carb intake. You're going to have to wear sunglasses every time you open the hood ??? 2 Quote
NiftyFifty Posted August 21, 2019 Report Posted August 21, 2019 Mine is hemi orange as well...looked great for about 2-3 years...now it’s a bit hard to keep clean....I know it might shock guys...but these things can leak oil and need repairs that scratch the paint! LOL Looks good, just keep up the pace and you’ll be on the road in no time! 1 Quote

Fargone Posted August 21, 2019 Author Report Posted August 21, 2019 Thanks for the responses guys, I'm ironing out trans job first then I'll bolt up some jewelry to the engine. A dirty engine is a running engine and I look forward to the maintenance. Quote
1949 Wraith Posted August 24, 2019 Report Posted August 24, 2019 Very nice, did you split your manifold or make a header? Quote
