Thanks for the advice guys.

I will also add that I am not looking to make a smoking hot pavement eater. I just want the engine to run as it did when my dad parked it for the last time in the early 80's.

I have spent nearly a decade looking for a machine shop that can handle my 383 rebuild. There are none in Memphis that I both trust and can afford. There are some guys I know with a resto shop but they charge too much. I am sure their work is worth it though. I got rid of my 318 vehicle...

Im in Memphis. And yea I need to stick around more. I still do want to rebuild my own 383, though in the interim I wouldnt mind a free one. :)

Haha good stuff :)

As it's been a little while I figure there may be some new members here. Anyone here in the West TN or North MS area? I have asked around locally for recommendations on machine shops that could do my machine work for my 383. But after three years I have come to the conclusion this area has none...

Thanks guys. Yea Im still around. I just keep waiting for the day I can invest in the car and get the show on the road. :)

Hi fellahs I have had my 383 disassembled for over three years and just haven't had any money to deal with it. This year would have been the year as I got some good money back on my tax returns. Unfortunately, I had blown out a head gasket in my 01 Durango when my coolant system blew up a few...

To be quite honest, it's been a *long* time since the car ran, and I'm not sure if it was left with gas in it or not (probably was). Whatever gas was in the tank and fuel lines has been in there for over a decade or more. Not sure what I'll end up doing about that when the time comes to get...

Also, my five month absence from the board is inexcusable. We're ALL busy (Being busy is what I tell myself for forgetting to keep up with friends and family and I'm wrong for it) so that's no reason for me not to drop by and say hi to y'all. You've all been a great help since I got the car in...

I've got a Blue 69 Plymouth RR parked in my garage (who knew!) fussing at me for not doing anything to better its condition the last few years. Actually I was wondering about the fact that my stuff has sat around in the garage so long... My engine block has been on the stand for like 2 years...

I hope everything works out man. Cancer blows. Just about everyone in my family has had some form of it and there aren't many of us left. I will never forget my dad back in late 2007 in his hospital bed (with leukemia). He had been depressed and was looking down at the floor and told my mom...

:brickwall:

Holy crap man, just reading that made me cringe at the very near catastrophic loss you had there. There's two things I wouldn't drive my Road Runner without having - a pistol and a fire extinguisher. Both keep you from losing the car.

Really good looking bay you got there. One of these days.. :(
