Headers by Thor and his hammer!

Because of parts availablity for the w2 engine I had to move on to plan B. I have a 1970 340 that I bought at a swap meet years ago. They guy swore up and down this was a great engine. I bought it but was always very skeptical. It's been on a engine stand in my garage for about 10 years and...

That would be fucking awesome! I would love to see that! Or, you could come and drive one of his cars there for me!

We are having a car show in Pierre's memory June 21 in Niagara Wi. 54151 if any of you are interested. Don't know if any of you can make it but if you can it would be cool to put a face to the name and hear any stories you might have about him.

I do appreciate the wheel offer but I don't need them. Thank you for the offer and making the effort to get shipping quotes. If they were slots like what is on the car I would have been all over your offer. Thank you Sir.

He always spoke highly of you Rusty. He really did enjoy helping people. The things that involved research he loved the most.

I think it has more to do with the incredible volume of parts. It's mind blowing. My basement is 1200 sq feet. Its packed full. My garage is packed full of my stuff and some of his. Its 36x42. My 40 x 50 barn is full of his and my stuff and I have 2 storage garages that are big enough to store a...

Rusty, that looks fantastic! Nice job. Now enjoy it as much as possible.

While working on the heads I realized the old heads required offset rocker stands that Pierre had made by a friend with a mill. I can't use those stands because the new heads use standard rocker stands. Not a big deal I know he has the standard stands. I have seen them. Do you think I can find...

While waiting for parts I cleaned the interior and reinstalled the rear seat. I have no idea how the interior ended up such a mess. I'm guessing it must have sat in his yard with the windows down. I must not have taken a picture one it was clean.

While waiting for engine parts I finished the roof repairs and painted the roof. I primed it this past Friday after work and painted it early Saturday morning. I ordered the paint from our company store in the next town over. They have a paint bank. We do not. I was blown away by their...

I haven't posted in a while but I have been busy. The short block is done. I'm still waiting on custom head gaskets. I'll get to that in a second. The heads are done. They were a lot of work. I transfered the valve springs to the new heads. I had the first one done and when I grabbed the 2nd...

The short block is done. I tried to install the oil pan but I have the wrong pan gasket set.

This morning I pulled the crankshaft, cleaned the block, honed the block and reinstalled the crankshaft.

Are they 15"? I'm absolutely intrested. Although they will likley go on the challenger or the other valiant. This one is small bolt. I'm converting the '68 valiant to big bolt with the parts he already had. I'll PM you. Thank you Rusty.

The 340 is on the stand and disassembled other than the crank. I hope to have everything cleaned up and ready to assemble tomorrow. Oh, and if you ever have a desire to absolutely hate an oil pan, get one of these bastards! I had forgotten how much it sucked to drop the engine in, line up the...

The engine is out. I have to run to my storage unit and grab a engine stand in the morning. I'll start the tear down and cleaning once it's on the stand.

Here's a picture of the "T" we used when we put this car together. It's just your standard parts store brass.

I can get you a good picture of that "T" tonight rusty. I am ready to pull the block out of Agnes and the "T" is right out in the open.
