no joke huh? Looks cool anywho. Mike, when you gonna build a street performance truck (Ram VTS) for your trailer queen moaprs?

[CamaroSSBoy346]

update: Did everything in BMF except doorhandle, gascap, and fenders. This is my first time with BMF so it isnt perfect.



FYI its burnished aluminum.

[CamaroSSBoy346]

i plan on getting the VTS for christmas maybe (my local craft store has it) then order a perry's resin 4x4 conversion kit for it.

[86_SR5]

ahhhh. Why don't you just build it to haul ass on the streets, not fling up mud?

[supramike420]

some people like to fling up mud

[86_SR5]

Yeah, when I had my SS, and would go out to my cousins house in cutoff, usually it was wet, and he had a dirt road to his house (muddy, all the time). I admit, turn down the road, slow down a little, and nail the accelerator and muf would fly everywhere, that was pretty cool, but it was even better when I cleaned em off and smoked em on the stree.t

[CamaroSSBoy346]

yeah, living on 10 acres of field and having a factory equipped NP205 F-150 with a 351 is prett fun.

BTW i took off the BMF and repainted it with plasti cote chrome (paint for the bumpers)

[86_SR5]

Mike, I have some Krylon chrome, Dupli-Color chrome, the dupli looks a little clearer, how's the plasti kote?

[CamaroSSBoy346]

well... you cant tell the difference between the BMF and the paint.

[EMAXX]

Looking good so far.
Looks like once you guys start talking about cars, it never ends. lol

[86_SR5]

mike, what do you use to mask off for your window trim?

[CamaroSSBoy346]

3M Masking tape. I'll get some updated pics in a second. Unfortunatly the chrome paint isnt as rich; because i clear coated it (dont clear coat chrome paint!)

Yes Sir.

In 1971, the 340 came with the J heads and 2.20/1.60 valves. Then in 1971 saw the introduction of the "360 style" J head, they used the same casting for 1971 340s and 360s, with different machining for the different sized valves.
The 360 head actually saw first limited use in the 1970 340 Six-Pack AAR/TA, which also had 2.20/1.60 machined heads.

The 340 was offered in a "Six-Pak" NOT 6-Pack(as most people mistake) Configuration. You could order a 340 R/T look-alike with a shaker (Hemi Look) and a go-wing, and most of the R/T paraphernalia, without the higher insurance premiums.

340=small block, distributor stands straight up in rear, like a chevy.

440=big block disributor is in front angled to the passenger side.

Not true, the Challenger R/T offered 340, 383, 440, 440+6 as well as he Hemi.
