I havnt had a chance to take any good pictures, so youll have to accept these from the first week I got it.
I have a line on another 440, plan is to build one up then swap em. Got a couple shock and awe pieces for it.
I was looking at some adds for 67 Barracudas. Darts, Dusters and whatnot. I want one too!
Sweat! I like the air cleaner and that intake is very interesting too. Seems like recently these big block mopars are as cheap to build as a sbc since companies started making affordable GOOD parts for them. I like the fact that they dont take much to wake up. Even with the smog heads they still produce good power.

Holy cow! At 4:29 this morning, ATLTF hit a new record for most users ever online. 87 users! It's been the number 81 since 5 and a half years ago. Good to see a change!
Just changed again last night.
Most users ever online was 108 on Tue Jan 21, 2020 9:10 pm
Not sure what is going on. Most of the hits are from CHINA and Apple Valley, CA.
Bots. Or hijacked IP addresses. Computers with trojans, or IoT devices bouncing off the forum to send their stuff 'home'. I deal with it every now and again. Sounds ALMOST like an attempted Ddos attack. If the numbers keep climbing, I'd find a way to lock the forum down or get in touch with forumotion regarding what you find.

I have a few more heads, and my brother has some heads Im gona put the best ones on it. None of the real desirable heads, but better than the smog heads. Its a good start I think.

Been changing wheel bushings today, now I'm trying to take tires off the rims... I've learned that you have to get pissed off with them before they come off. It's gonna be real fun gettin' these off. Also, when I was knocking out the wheel bushings, I was using a sledge hammer on a spark plug puller... GREAT idea on my part... Managed to clip it with the sledge hammer and send it flying literally about 5 cm from my eyeball. Then it went and cut the top of my ear after my eye socket deflected it. I'll be glad when this tire stuff is over.

I usually have great luck removing/installing lawn tractor tires with simply a ball peen hammer and two prybars. You get to learn a few tricks that really make it a lot easier when you've done it enough times.

I've never been too good at changing tires. Then my grandpa came up to the barn after my 2 hours of working on it and had it off in 2 minutes....... Figures.
Pretty much. I can't remember how many times I stood up with intent to break something, stopped, dropped whatever tool I was holding, flexed my hands, and told myself, "breathe..... breathe..... don't touch the crow bar..... breathe....." Wasn't too bad though... the amount of kicking doors and wheels was minimal, so. I only broke one pencil...

Good-ish news for me. Got a "promotion" at work. Didnt get a raise unfortunately but got noon-to-close hours so I now have the opportunity for overtime on either end. Gonna snek in that fuel money somehow since nobody wants to buy my excess shop stuff.
