    Painted my 360 - Gloss Black, before we put it together last spring. My Demon is that Hemi Orange so I thought it would make it stand out better. Wish I had done Satin Black !!! the Cuda is looking pretty wicked all black like that 👍 Thought I caught a glimpse of some Sawzall'd fenders in the backround !!!

    Mopar Orange will pop nice in the all black car. I'm curious why you went EQ iron heads versus aluminum?

    @jimifed2798 2 года назад +2

    D.W. were you able to get the EQ heads with the intake bolt angle for the La style intake or was that even a consideration. Also did the assembler change to bronze guides?

    • @TheDodgeWhisperer
      @TheDodgeWhisperer  2 года назад

      yes bronze guides but only the magnum intake bolt pattern

      @@TheDodgeWhisperer I guess they stopped making the La intake option. Bronze on the exhaust guides is the way to go , don't ask me how i know. Ok you asked ,I stuck # 3 exh. Valve before i paid to convert to bronze.

    Why did the car sit for 20 years?

    • @TheDodgeWhisperer
      @TheDodgeWhisperer  2 года назад +2

      When I bought the car 20 years ago the front sub frame was basically destroyed from rust. I cut it out and replaced it along with all the suspension components. Replaced the rotten quarter panels and "fixed" the passenger side rocker panel and heavily damaged A pillar on the passenger side. It actually could have the wheel alignment set properly after that. I installed the engine and then got busy with life/school/work/etc and never got around to finishing the car. all said and done the current amount of time invested in the car since day 1 is several thousand man hours, and $$$$$$$. I was persuaded by Duddie and Bad Tree to get it going again earlier this year!
