Needs more anti-seize.So this cobra kit car comes in and wants a carb change and some suspension work. Changed the carb out and sounds better already with only touching the idle screw. Go to take a back wheel off to get access to the coil over. Broke all three ears off the knock off. Mother ducker. In 20 years of doing this, never broke one. And it’s not like you can get a full swing on the lead hammer with out hitting the wheel. Made a bushing for the center hub and a 2-1/2” hole saw and we got the wheel off. A small chisel and a hammer and we got the the rest of the threads out. Hub actually looks real good. Now to try and have better luck on the next three. Well it was Monday. Oh and got my new Trumpf metal shaper off the trailer and back where it belongs with out hurting it or anyone else. 4500lbs. She is a big bitch.

I need to do something similar. And relocate the battery on the inner fender against the firewall. The dry sump needs to go up front where the battery is at.The coolant tank for the inner cooler?? drivers front behind the headlights. we use the Bosch pump. We made the tank.
It's not even April yet.My formula car has been sucking the life out of me this year.

Nice 64 Lincoln there. What colour is the interior? Also, mine had the individual 6 way bucket seats with console between.Over at buddy Jason’s house today in Camarillo checking out his dodge he’s building and he mentioned he may need to have you custom make some headers for it. Thought it was funny he mentioned you.

Not sure what "his" is but if you're referring to Bonehead your pooch, is he available for dinner?He never gets any attention. And the caddie is another one of “his” cars.
Yes he is the His. And he has his own booth at the bar he can take you to. He prefers filet but will settle for a burger patty.Not sure what "his" is but if you're referring to Bonehead your pooch, is he available for dinner?

… was not aware that the mystery motor had been available. In anything other than the big size Chevrolet… If I am reading the post, right… Friend of mine took his Biscayne, which was new …back to the Chevy dealer and had a mystery motor installed… We drove it down to Merls drive-in in Newport Beach… Friend had us passengers wait at the drive-in… Well he went and raced somebody… supposedly …He came back, saying there wasn’t enough money in the race so it never happened… My guess is he got his ass handed to him …with his new mystery motor… the car itself to me did not feel much faster than the 409 425 hp that had been in the ‘63 Biscayne to begin with … it had the W shaped valve covers… And I had been under the impression that the mystery motor had the rectangle valve covers like what evolved in to the 396’s i’…427‘s and the 454s…. ConfusingNot being well versed in Chrysler legends, never heard of that beast!
About 20 years ago I was in a small, nondescript, warehouse in Burbank, and saw a Chevy "legend" sitting on a custom stand. It sat next to the Corvette it was "born" to. It was a fabled "Mystery Motor", and the 'vette was what they called a "white body". Being a Ford dork, I got a history lesson.
What I saw looked to be a 396 type of motor. What really struck me at the time, the exhaust manifolds looked more like 3/4 to full length "headers". I just did some looking, and found this article from a few years back...this is the one I actually saw.… was not aware that the mystery motor had been available.

… just speed read what I could on the mystery motor and the differences in that and the 427 Z 11 which would’ve had the W shaped valve covers… there is an article on I believe the actual mystery motor that you saw… Yes, with the rectangle valve covers… it looks like my friends supposed mystery motor… Was in fact a 427 Z11W a W shaped valve cover motor… It is going to be interesting to hear what my friend has to say about this particular engine swap that the Chevy dealer in the West Valley did for him… although that was 60 years ago… I remember him specifically saying he was having the mystery motor installed… I popped the hood and the carI did have the W shaped valve covers…What I saw looked to be a 396 type of motor.
