MY PROJECTS
Well, here's my project for the next couple of weeks.  I had a nice knocking noise
coming from the engine, so I decided to rip it out.  The plans are:

Mopar Performance Cam

Mopar Performance Lifters

Mopar Performance Springs

Bore Block .030 Over

TRW Forged Pistons - .030 Over - 8.5:1

Mopar Performance Big Valve R/T Heads - Ported and Polished

2.02 Intake Valves

ARP Heads Studs

Mopar Performance Torque Convertor

Manley Forged Rods

All New Mogul Bearings

Mopar Performance Cast Crankshaft

Entire Bottom End Balanced And Blueprinted

Also, the entire engine is going to be painted Chrsler red.  Which is the color that they
 used in the late 60's and early 70's on most of the high-performance 318's and 340's.
  These are some pictures of about how far I've gotten.  It'll be updated as I get a little
 farther on it.  As you can see, the bearings aren't looking too good.  And all with
21,000 miles.  I guess that's probably what a supercharger will do.  That and the fact
 that I drove around for probably about a month with coolant in the oil.

Today, I put almost the complete long block together and primed, painted and clear coated everything.  The engine should be back in the truck by Monday night, and at the latest Tuesday night.  My goal right now is to have it running by late wednesday - early thursday.  I'll of course keep everyone posted.
What I've already done:

6 psi Powerdyne Supercharger

Mopar Performance Headers

Mopar Performance PCM

23.5 lbs Injectors

Mopar Performance M-1 Intake Manifold

Flowmaster Muffler

MSD Boost Retard Control


Mopar R/T Roller Cam and Lifters
Mopar 2.02 Intake Valves
