thanks rip... I will post the pick of the M5 that i customized using an S10 bed and an old hemi I had laying around.
I like to drive the Healey by the Harley hangouts with the windshild folded down and run my hands through my hair (no offense rip) while they are struggling to put their helmets on and waiting for their old lady to squeeze into her gucci/harley leather outfit.

Frued would have a hayday with your apparent need to own cars that can only hold 2 people;)
I thought you poked a pushrod through the block on the Austin? You have the new engine in already?

are those REAL torque thrusts?
If they are that is sooooooooo cool.
-
The Elky blew a 396 (someone unknown built it) but I had a line on a good, fresh 468 block... All is well.
Yep... Like all kinds of cars tho but.. one is small one is big. My girlfriend says that finger length is a better indicator of noodle length than either guns or cars.
Been divorced so long now and the kids are raised so.. no need for a taxi cab. Needed something with a pickup bed so.... the Elky instead of a SS coupe or convert... (hate the roof line on the coupe anyway).
My Harley only had one seat most of the incarnations. Was a "moral" scumbag... figured it was ok to kill myself but felt a little bad about taking others with me.
Oh... two seats is no problem... there are very few people who will ride with me.
If anyone was at the con... A buddy from a modified healey group met me there and we drove his car to meet some of the other guys (I had never met)... His 60 healey was VERY fast. made me a little nervous even.

loser.... they are even better than "real" torque thrusts.... They are American Racings first mag wheels... they are not aluminum... they are magnessium. They are what Torque thrusts were modeled after. Buddy gave em to me 20 years ago because they oxidize very fast and.... they are actually illegal for the street. Love to run into the cop that knows that fact tho.

hmmm thought torque thrust D's were magnesium centers. Oh and if i were a cop i would know they were illegal due to the sudden cracking and structural failure assoicated with magnesium.
Bet you can lift those things, tires on, with your pinkie finger.
way cool man.
but i think ill stick to my draglites.
-
lazs2, is that your Healey?............Yum, Yum.
-
In case you hadnt seen it before lazs
my girl has a 340 full manual valve body 727 and 8.75 out back.
in fact maybe you can help me. I porked the tranny 2 years ago on the 1320. Lost all line pressure and welded the input and output shaft together. Foot never left the floor though (didnt want to lose to a Ford.
Had the tranny all gone over and rebuilt and it is all good. But something is shaking around 2,800 rpms.
bent crank or rod? I m hoping and thinking it is a rod seeing as how it shoudl be pretty hard to twist a 340 forged crank.
What do you think?
-
"dixon, ca"
Hmmm, that about 20 miles from my place.
-
My girlfriend says that finger length is a better indicator of noodle length than either guns or cars.
Which brings up the question: how many fingers has she seen?
-
What are you running in the Healy then? A 350 or a 327?
MiniD
-
loser... no.. modern torque thrusts are all alluminum... unsprung weight is way down with real mags... I run bilstein shocks in both cars. Vibration can be anything... check the driveshaft and u joints first. Nice car btw... the 340 is a very neat motor. Seen the stroker kits they have for em now?
monk.. yes... that is my car. I've had it for 30 years. (it has had paint from time to time).
ra... if it is a girlfriend of mine then she has probly seen enough fingers to judge. Wouldn't have it any other way... I don't get paid to teach.
deja... 331.. 30 over 327. 11.5/1 forged pistons solid lifter cam. muncie 4 speed.
driveing the two cars one after the other is interesting. The elky is all torque and a 6 speed tranny. 5 grand glues you to the seat and sounds like the end of the world... the healey loves to shift at 6500 and the "pull" builds.. if that makes sense. The healey is, of course, faster but not by a huge margin.. It's more a matter of feel... that... and the wind and sun factor... heck... I even put a 'vintage air" air conditioner in the elky. The elky feels huge after the Healey...

Russian, which side of Lazs do you live on? Citrus Heights here.
-
3 min from Fairfield.
-
airhead and russian..we should all meet up.. plenty of places to eat here and I live alone so we can relax. just push some of the junk out of the way and find a place to sit.
If you like guns, cars, WWII stuff, AH, movies... we will probly find something to talk about.

oops lazs! forgot to mention this with the vehicle at rest or moving. Guess the only real way to figure it out is to pull the bottom end apart.
-
I'll take both those off your hands for 50 bucks each and not a cent more. Rather good deal if you ask me, don't let this chance to make some good money slip by.

I'm in
-
loser... Pull the pan and look for broken piston skirts. I drove a 327 for a year once and it had 4 broken skirts... knocks em out of balance a bit. If you had a stick I would say look at the clutch disk.. I have ripped the face off half the disk before and got a wicked vibration. Pull all the belts and run the motor to eliminate alternator, water pump and power steering ac whatever.
Sorry .. don't know a thing about automatics except that they don't like me and I don't like them.
And yes MT.... I am generalizing.

Here is my other car. Too bad I have t wake up in the morning...;D
-
Ammo.. this is my buddies car. It is a punched out 390 to simulate the side oiler 427 and he races it at sears point.
lazs
-
Lazs, say when and I'm there.
-
how mucho greenbacks has he invested in that sweet car?
-
airhead.. email me and we can set up a day for lunch, dinner whatever. I can even take a day off during the week.
Ammo... It is the third ERA cobra built. It has real knockoff wheels an two 650 holley's... neat car and he got it for some really cheap price about 8 years ago.. I think it was like 40 grand. It runs 12.20's the car is very well done with independent rear and all the cobra trim even has a toploader 4 speed with the mustang linkage reversed.... We punched off and the healey can't pull away from him.
Just put about 50 miles total on the healey today just driving around town (and back roads)... gawd it's nice out! Took the M1 Garrand out and shot about 40 rounds of ought six ammo up too...... Us old unhip guys are really easy to amuse.

Being easy to amuse is a good trait lazs. I am pretty simple myself. Luckily, I have a full load of college courses, full time work, three little boys, a wife that works full time,.. to occupy my time. So, I don't have a whole lot of decision making to do, its already spelled out for me:)

Geez!! Ya AH slacker! Get away from those kiddy toys and join the adults in the MA!
