Thank you, lear4406 for the first really kind words here.



I was not offended, nor was my chain jerked. I simply felt insulted. I have not misrepresented any of my posts here. You could...

Don't think I want to be first in line.

Sorry for not posting much. Been just reading the forum mostly.
I like it seems some of you are willing to wait for a time before buying any car.
That and the fact that my 1971 Challengers and...

Very nice, you may very well be right about a Cuda. I would love to see a sister car to the new Challenger come out. But with the Challenger concept spy photos leak last year they may keep this under...

RE: College kids are spending billions of dollars to customize their cars

That made me think of this guy with a new GTO that wanted to race my Challenger.
I ask him how much he paid for his car. His reply was "about $36,000" so I told him I need
to spend another...

RE: Pictures of the "Dodge Room"-56k beware!

That is sooo cool. I have only one wall that I can use to display my toys.

RE: The big question

I know that if I want something bad enough, I will somehow get it. I will make whatever sacrifice is needed. If that means that one of my treasured E-bodies needs to be sold it will be sold. I will...

The big question

Now that it’s for real (the 2008 Challenger). I have to plan a way to get one. It looks like only a limited number per year will be made? Will all of them be high-end models? What options? And the...

RE: Would you buy the V6?

I do not want a V6 when I can have a V8. But they should build them with many options like a V6 and an automatic trans. Ford has sold lots of V6 Mustangs. I think V6 Challengers would also appeal to...

RE: Real Challengers?

Didn't want to offend anyone thats just what I call them. I did like the little Charger. I always wanted to convert it to a V8 rear drive and go rice hunting.

I call them fake Challengers. Just like I called our 85 Charger (yes my wife and I owned one of them once) a fake Charger.

I have no history on this engine. Guy I bought it from got the car at an auction.

He thought it needed a oil pump. But I can clearly see all the noise was from the pushrods and rockers

RE: One of my cars is getting a 440

Not upsidedown. But look at the pushrods where they are hitting the head.

Rocker arms have an offset where the pushrod is, some one installed them with the offsets the wrong way.

RE: 440 or 426?

I would on one hand like a HEMI. But the 440 is so much cheaper. Less tuning needed. And all the HEMI stuff is so hard to find.

RE: One of my cars is getting a 440

Great news. Got the 440 inside and tore down this weekend. Some IDIOT installed the rocker arms wrong on one side.
The pushrods were hitting the heads!

Other than that the rest of the engine...

If the Challenger is not produced, I will just put my money into my classics.
