Here you are Ark

HEMI

I was wrong, I DON'T need Viagra...

We took it all back apart to stuff some the internals in.

Dropped the crankshaft in.....


Tomorrow we'll install the rings on the pistons and then install the pistons and rods. The Ross Racing blower pistons are really nice.

We got some nice rocker stands to replace the stockers. They install easy.







And then there are these! This worked out well for both me and my dad because I bought his finished iron heads off of him. He put the money toward these aluminum heads and I won't need to have all the machine work completed on the heads that I'm going to use on my next project. My dad is still a little kid when it comes to engine goodies. I try to keep him under control but who am I to tell him what to do.

The heads look like aluminum castings.. I could be wrong. I likes'em! [cl[cl[cl

i really like your attention to the details Gastrick. that's why i always look forward to your posts, and more so, that's why your Dad's, brother's and your cars are so nice. details, details, details. rat rods are cool, but i think if more people spent the time to plan and execute their projects, they'd have safer more reliable cars, and we'd all be a lot better off. i like rust as much as the next guy, but i'd NEVER drive an unsafe car just to meet a deadline or take a shortcut. there's no excuse for it.

keep up the great work and posts

I would give my left n*t for that set-up (that's okay i've got 5 kids now ). NICE job !!

oh my! yes fresh machine work and on a hemi! why would someone want to put sbc heads on one of those is beyond me. man! that is beautiful!

Gastrick,
I love old hemis and the way they sound so, I run a 392 in my 34 Dodge.
I shouldn't have looked at those pictures...My engine is crying to get a set of those heads now!

Yes frankr, those heads sure are pretty and super light compared to iron hemi heads. The weight difference is unreal. The spark plug tube seals are a nice addition also. I like the early hemi's too. I have a 392 in my coupe and I'm putting a 392 in the sedan that I'll be building soon.

I bet your Dad was excited when those heads showed up..........really nice looking. His Willys is going to be a rocketship when done. [cl[cl[cl
