My New (to me) Mopar

[RAINMANYEH]

Warning. Dealing with Jims is a mistake.

No worries there as they didn't have it anyways, but thanks for the heads up...... I may have located an original 2806301 intake. I also found this online, but never heard of parts.com before.

Ive heard the radio ads is all.

 

[RAINMANYEH]

Should have an original intake sometime next week. It's been bead blasted inside and out, no cracks, and in good condition.

 

[RAINMANYEH]

Cam got delayed in shipping, but should be here shortly.

But the OE intake manifold arrived today.

 

[RAINMANYEH]

Dropped off the intake manifold at the shop after work this afternoon and the guy there was surprised I was able to find one in such good shape. He also told me he got an update from the engine builder.... The 2 Pistons weren't burned, they were cracked. It had previously been bored 30 over and is now 40 over. He was able to locate new pistons with no problem. Still waiting for the cam to come in. The one that was in it was just a hair larger than stock and will be replaced. I also went ahead and had him go through the heads with new seats, etc.

 

[RAINMANYEH]

Received a call earlier.... The engine is done and at the shop. He's getting ready to prep and paint it.

 

[Basketcase]

is he gonna test run it?

 

[RAINMANYEH]

He will, but hasn't yet.

Stopped by after work and told Richard he couldn't tease me like that. He knew darn well that I'd have to see the engine.

 

[quikbird]

That looks nice

 

[RAINMANYEH]

Got a surprise teaser pic a little while ago.

Air cleaner to go atop the freshly rebuilt engine. I was able to get the air bubbles out with a heat gun and plastic bondo paddle. I went with the K&N filter as my RR is going to get the classic air A/C once I get her back, so it's not all original anyways.

 

[Basketcase]

I went with the K&N too.

 

[RAINMANYEH]

Looks good Dave.... Just makes me antsy to get her back home.

 

[Basketcase]

I'm antsy to get mine out. in the 60s today, supposed to rain tonight, so they will get rid of the road salt. but gotta work two twelves, then more snow on my days off, more salt...vicious cycle.

looking good.....yeah warm here today......we will be cruising soon

 

[RAINMANYEH]

Dropped off the air cleaner at the shop yesterday afternoon and saw the engine in person. Richard, shop owner, is almost as excited as I am to get the engine back in and top it off with this air cleaner. Took a couple pics of the engine while there.

 

[69hemibeep]

Where and what kind of compressor are you mounting to stay away from the air cleaner?

 

[RAINMANYEH]

I'm adding the Classic Air setup, with the smaller compressor. I've got the entire kit, with the Bouchillon bracket.

 

[69hemibeep]

Is that the shorty on top or under the alternator?
