Its only me who wants to see the magnum rock and roll! Big block power that car can be a star its very underated in the car world....but there's a lot of work that can be done to it that would make good content...but I guess I'd be the only one that would watch!😂😂😂
I’m impressed with anyone who can juggle so many projects. I have a difficult time with two. Not enough time and resources to split with for me. Love all your cars/trucks. Good mix of different things.
I enjoy every project you do. Thank you for taking the time to answer specific questions that I have asked. The fact that you share your knowledge freely is much appreciated! As for your schedule and updates on any of your projects, I'm never going to question that. I have projects that are on the, "I'm going to make time for that one day list." I think about that list while I do the things on the, "this must be done now list." Looking forward to watching whatever content you post! It's always entertaining and educational. God bless all you do.
I can seriously understand why everyone seems interested in the paint on the Van of War having made the mistake of inquiring into having my W-150 painted. They wanted 5 times the money I've got in the truck. Great Job Thanks👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
Keep up the great work Tim 😊👏👏👏, oh before I forget...how's the giant Dodge truck you bought on the hill coming along? I'm not sure what you call that one 🤔. "The Haymaker"?🤷😅 stay warm buddy
I like your fleet...I am partial to the Magnum...but also love the 77 van! My Dad bought a new Magnum X.E in late 1977 and ever since I was 8 years old I rode,drove and or worked on a Magnum...I own it today, its a 1978 X.E with factory GT wheel flares and the rare GT wheels that look like cop car rallye wheels but are NOT (dog dish caps wont fit).Console and rare 150 speedo and tach..Oddly was a 360 2bbl,it was a special order car that the guy bailed on the last moment..Dad had the dealer add a 4bbl and removed the lean burn and add duel exhaust when new,even had full warranty on it! He did the same on his new 1985 Dodge Van Maxivan 250,it was a factory 4bbl but dealer removed the lean burn when new and had full warranty! If he did it himself the dealer would not include the full factory warranty.. Things they did back then were great! My cousin owns two GT Magnum's one 78 400 4bbl and a 79 E-58 360 4bbl (his dad also is the original owner of a 70 Cuda 440-6bbl).My cousin has a Mopar collection that most would die for lol..He also restores them.I have a few nice cars but not the same level,but don't care I am blessed to have what I do!
The Dodge vans are cool too even the Magnum as well but I’m more into the full-size Chrysler C bodies like the Imperial Newport New Yorker 300 Dodge Monaco Polara and Plymouth Fury and gran fury even though they aren’t mentioned in this video but I like them as well
I will post this on the thread on fabo as well.... after driving it how do you like the summit cam vs the perfered cam that was out of budget? On the lowbuck 318 😊
Thanks again for the inspiration to get my 69 318 running again. Got it to fire off. Gotta deal with gas tank. It good but sat with lil gas in it. Don’t want to kill the electric fuel pump. But next is to start cleaning the dust and stink out of it so it’s not so gross to deal with. Thanks. Want to see first non sputter real start? 😊
Dilemma for me is what to do with my 'survivor' classic car.... you know, one of 'those' that's never been touched, bone stock and all numbers matching. I mean it still runs well, but starting to get a bit of blowby.... so probably 'time' for a rewind ? My dilemma begins here.... being a former Racer throughout the 80's/90's... albeit, still with some of the 'bug' left I guess as I get older ? I'd like to keep and drive my Car..... but also apply a bit more power which is the dilemma to do it with the factory unrebuilt numbers matching 440 Magnum ? or.... crate it off to the side still untouched for posterity.... and utilize another 'core' 440 to apply some fun factor ? I can DO anything I want capacity-wise.... because being a former Competition Engine Builder, I still have a full service Machine Shop here on my property, everything from Boring/Honing, Block Milling, anything Req'd right thru to Balancing and Cylinder Head R&D/Flowbench, etc., etc., ..... not bragging because been there / done it and Dyno'd the results many times... but it's pretty much childsplay for me to get 425 hp and 520 Ft/Lbs out of just a .030 over 440 on pump gas with a Flat Tappet Hydraulic Cam thru hp exh Manifolds..... which is still a very tame build by my criterion(lotsa N/A 800-1000 hp BB Mopars).... but waay more fun than bone stock ? Thoughts ?
I think you get a lot of questions because your cars are over achievers. Good tuning and sensible parts selection on your part, seriously. The fun of car projects doesn’t necessarily increase with an increase of cash outlay! Now, grab that roller and get some pretty B5 Blue on that Duster hood lol!

Quick question I'm getting ready to buy a carburetor fir the 318 I had bored 30 over I think I mentioned it had shaved heads abd a bigger camshaft it's got flat top pistons I'm using a 600 cfm carb that belongs to a buddy it seems as if it's, constantly not getting enough gas will not idle even after warned up it had tge carter thermaquad originally but wth it now having a aftermarket high rise duel plane air gap intake off Amazon I can't use the thermaquad inlets I use a adapter plate plus my old thermaquad had tgat middle part tgst was fiber composite and had split right where float sets I jb welded it several times it would last a month or so then stsrt leaking I didn't want gas leaking out on new engine I checked his carb for vacuum leaks at base an where throttle linkage went through wth carb cleaner sprayed on it no idle difference I sprayed front wn rear of intake same thing no idle difference I threw the cork gaskets away never use them on intakes I use black high heat rtv I even adjusted floats several times set mixture screws set timing set excelerator pump every thing he sdid he rebuilt carb 5 months ago but set on shelf not used my question to you Mr 318 willrun is do yiu think a 600 cfm carb is too small wth all the machine work done to block an heads plus all the upgrade high performance aftermarket parts that's in it or what trll me which yiu think would be best to buy a original carter thermaquad an adapter plate or a aftermarket carter or a holly ????abd what cfm would u recommend I run on it like I ssid it will not idle I've not had the privilege of driving it since engine was built sn put back in van so I have no idea what it would be like using this holly 600 cfm
