We did about 49 mile between Amboy and Oatman, Az. through the mountains. Beautiful country for sure… joe

Nice, love the salute to Jackson Brown and his song, better known by the Eagles playing it! Personally like the original by Jackson Brown.

Cadillac Ranch and a souvenir I found on the ground

My wife and I stopped there on the way back from picking up my 71 Camaro ( which Ryan owns now ). I remember slamming on the the brakes and whipping in there. It was a pretty cool thing to see. The layers of paint is incredible!

We basically did the same thing, when I seen what it was, Renee hit the brakes and off the exit we went. It was a once in a lifetime chance to visit it

I hope it runs as good as it looks. Tore it down and everything looked fine inside, so I just put new gaskets in it. You could still see the cross hatch marks inside the cylinder walls. But then it did have a rebuild tag on it so hopefully it’ll run fine. So some time in the past it was rebuilt. Now I need to finish the fine sanding on the valve cover before I polish it. Just one more piece of the puzzle down, at least I hope…..joe

Looking good! What's it going into, Joe?

Remember folks, Dick down in Florida destroyed my Cadillac motor and transmission. So I picked up this six cylinder last year at a friends salvage yard. I got that and a 200 R4 or a 350 turbo for Marge with 253 gears in the rear end. I’m hoping to have it pretty much together or who knows running later this summer. Only time will tell, but at least it’s a step forward…..joe

Those details are burned into your memory, painfully but it's been a long time ago and random posts on "Random Stuff" so apologies for not remembering! The 6 looks sharp, and polishing the rocker cover will really make it pop!

No need to apologize, but I appreciate it. I think sanding down the valve cover is the most tedious part about this. Because I had a brain fart and sandblasted it rather than using paint stripper, DUH……. I’ll remember next time….joe

You know who you are….joe

i`m here every day but did not realize it had been a year since i posted .. i need help .. i have wanted a 5 speed in my pinto for years and have finally found one and began the process .. i was told the trans was from a 4,3 camaro .. the trans is indeed a camaro 5 speed but the flywheel that came with the purchase will not fit my 4.3 chevy motor ..the bellhousing will fit but not over a 168 tooth flywheel .. i need a 153 tooth flywheel for the 4.3 engine but can not locate one and dont know for sure if it is even available .. i made some clutch pedals from other parts and plan on using a cable even with the hydraulic stlye clutch arm .. i can work around that ..there are flywheels on ebay that are 153 tooth but not real clear on what they will fit .. it seems i dont know how to load a picture anymore ..

Have you called one of the big parts warehouses? Jegs or Summit I'm sure could offer you some direction. I tried some basic searches but the 153 tooth flywheel didn't come up.. I'd say a phone call to Tech services is in order. FWIW...
