Well my dad said, nope only 15 hrs today, ended up at 16
Well most was driving , drove to Va. to get heads and manifold, (off car which is hibernating there until trailer is repaired) But the heads are in remarkably good condition, much better that our last mishap about a dime diamater "nick" in #3 from the piston rotating and slamming the dome edge, easy fix, new valves alredy on their way.
We ordered all out "goodies" for 3 more engines today (most yesterday) A new "Super Secret Squirrel Cam" that well....is a more aggresive grind and a cyl swap cam.
Ive got to get out my "oven mits and apron" there is a lot of parts cooking, I mean Coatings to be done, a LOT.....like everything legal.....
Yep 3 Engines, 2 5.7's done a little different than each other and 1 6.1 , we will also "try" to put the 6.1 back together thats in the car as a "scatter" motor, or well one we dont care if we scatter, superloose, and well....a scatter motor. Only a Crank Shy, damm Mopar changed the PN and now its twice the cost , Im still looking for an AB crank. (now AC)
Probably the first motor that will go in our.....SS/GT Challenger......yes really....yes well have this one passing good before we start but, the "SS Chally Begins" 5 months build time I estimate , a)Based on what we just did b)Im doing the cage c)The fact that well...were using gear we already have, engines transmissions, and rear chunks. One of the reasons is the motor that was going in it has been "repurposed" as a DP motor...So why not make it a GT car ? No reasons we see......itll be the same running gear as the DP so if something bad happens its mobile parts for the priority, the DP.
Soooooooo......after driving to Virginia , pulling the motor down, and driving home, 16 hrs.......Im gonna sleep good tonight.
