Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
I was wanting to try 175* oil and 100* water in the honing plates, it would be almost like a heads up run.

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
Had a good day today. Made an A2 steel crank key, degreed the cam in. I got my work-out in by moving the block , crank, and cam around from horizontal to vertical a couple of times. Installed all of the pistons but still have to tighten bolts to stretch. locktighted and torqued cam bolt. Its about supper time.

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
Heads are on and valves adjusted. If any of y'all haven't tried installing push rods and rockers on a GEN III Hemi, don't, it almost can't be done.

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
I will get pickup and pan on and mount engine on carrier. Will be heading south to dyno. I will try to get a video of a pull, it sounds pretty cool when it starts to really sing.

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
Larry, Chrysler makes a special tool that holds the intake push rods in place that makes life a lot easier.

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
That tool is about $90 delivered, I bought one and two out of the four supports broke. It's made of plastic. In short I had to take the rockers off to find the broken plastic. The Ex. side gives me the most trouble.
