Hemi powered hotrod

Nice day, so I took the Hotrod out of winter storage. Next weekend I'll change oil and adjust the valves. It has a 354 Chysler Hemi and ford toploader trans, Jag IRS. Gear drive and roller cam. I built it to look kind of like a 60's style gasser. It's been on the road almost 10 years now.

damn that was a waste of vid are you affraid to kick that pos to the floor?

[pistonfreddy]

pos? You're not very nice. Maybe some day when you grow up you will learn to take care of things rather than destroy them. People should check out your shitty ex rental car v6 mustang with the muffler removed (rusted off?)featured on your video page. Too bad it's the internet and I can't kick your pos to the floor grocery boy -- ha.

i am considering putting a 354 in my 55 dodge as a replacement for the straight six that came standard, your probably the fifth or sixth guy i have heard about having this engine transmission combination, why did you decide to go with the top loader?

[pistonfreddy]

Honestly? Well, I had a toploader oiling down my garage floor and kept stubbing my toe on it. I also found an ancient adapter plate at a swap meet with "McBar Machine Shop" cast into it. My 354 is actually a 331 extended bell block, bored over to take used 354 pistons -- they have the same stroke. I was fortunate enough to scrounge a set of nice 354 heads so I could use a more "modern" (eg 1955) intake with a water crossover in it. What can I say, I'm a knuckle dragging primitive... Do It!

NIce ride you have my car loving friend. Love those old Hemi's I to had a 392 from a 1957 Chy. Never did get to bild it. It was setting on others property. It was halled off while we were gone out of state. That was many years ago now. Still feel the loss thou..My Granddad just did not know where the line was. a new owner had it rechecked off the old deed. I think they messed it up. Oh well life goes on. Thats life in FL for ya.
