Gentlemen, Show Your Engines!!!!!

[dodgedarren]

I thought it would be fun to start a tread for people to show what many don't get to see all that love we mopar freaks put under the hood.

 Nice Darren! I see chrome valve covers, did you install them or were they on the engine already? My 69 440 has chrome valve covers, coil cover, pulley and breather cap. The OO I bought the car from told me it was a "dealer install". I have all the docs for the car including the window sticker, build sheets etc but there is no mention of this engine dress up. What's the deal?

This one I can do... Not together yet, but parts sitting together. Short block is done. Hopefully this coming spring.

Howdy, the car came complete. I rebuilt the engine with the help of a Harley mechanic friend. He has a count with Edelbrock so he gets dealer discount so I went ahead and put the Edelbrock top end kits on which includes, heads, cam and intake. The Valve cover are actually MOPAR performance aluminum cover that I polishes and painted to match the block. I tried to keep as much as I could factory correct cause I will mostly put all the origanal components back on in ten years after I burn through a couple of sets of tires

A little dirty, but it still carries the mail...

Probably dealer installed from the old Hustle Stuff cat. I don't remember coil bracket or pulleys being in there.

From our '68 Coronet R/T.  Our '68 Charger R/T was done the same way.

the Daytona


and the cream 66 Charger with the wrong air cleaner on it..I still got the OE one on the shelf

Here is the latest version of the race 383 on the break-in stand.

A valuable lesson I learned from Asphalt Paving Crews is to always throw a couple of sandwiches on the engine so they are nice and toasty by lunch. In this case, Arby's Roast Beef.

Here's my 383, just hit 1500 miles on the rebuild and hasn't blown up yet  

[68RRFlyer]

From my coworker's 68 RT I restored for him.  Number's matching, he bought it new in 1968!   We upgraded the A/C to R134a, but other than that, all stock.
