:lol: Sounds like that guy could be the other guys brother :lol:

I am lucky because I found an old wrecking yard that shut down over 20 years ago and inside the old yard is a treasure trove of old mopar parts and the guy who owns the yard sells stuff cheap. I boughta stock 3 core rad for $50 he gave me all the trim off an old 72 SSP. Found a pair of tailights for a 72 SSP.....
The best is there are quite a few enigine/tranny combo's just sitting in cars waiting to get bought. He has 2 x 1972 340's sitting in Demons, a few 383's/440's and 3 x 392 Hemis that he will sell cheap etc.
Sometimes I get to feeling that if Xmas, Fathers Day and my Birthday did not exist, then aftershave too would not exist.

i'm running 2x4 on my 440 and haven't had any problems, as long as i don't get caught in the rain.

I have been out of the game for some time now, but are people getting away from them? Just curious. Thanks for all the input.

I love the my tunnel ram, this past summer I only seen maybe 3 other cars running it on the street, 1 local chevy and 2 at the mopar nats. at first I thought the cops might not like it but i ain't had any trouble with them yet.

I love seeing stuff punched through the hood of a car. It just seems like raw power. I have only seen one around here. it was a 69 mustang, and that was at least 8 years ago.
