Thats some truck, two chassis's one under the cab and one over!!!:bananaweed:

Oh yes, the Canadians did things their own way. 1971 Hipo 440's were always Orange except in Canada they were Blue! Yukee boring blue as well lol... A Moparmate always painted his engines silver and it looked pretty bad! He said it was so Folks thought he had an aliminium block and heads?

Kind words Mr Wayfarer! I have got a Hotheads Desoto roller cam for my 291 hemi but it was very expensive and only just big enuff for grocery getting! I have a trash-can full of busted flat-tappets and thats why I won't run them anymore. Its not just a cam change when the cam fails, its a full...

Thanx for the replies. Mopar fans are blessed with many fantastic engines! Some of us are looking at the less desirable ones, aka pollies, like Gary P. and his faithful followers (bad cam pun). He and his merry 'band of brothers' are trying to fund an Aluminum Poly head! Before that I would be...

Hi Jobman, Yep pre 1960 pollies were silver as you thought! I found out when building a poly that the pre 1960 blocks and heads are different to the 1961 onwards. You can bolt later heads onto early blocks but if you do what I did, put a 59 head onto a 65 block, its a disaster!!! Water, water...

Hi Wayfarer, Yes Gary P. has been supplying us our Poly parts for TEN years now! We started with the 360 Poly and stepped up the the 402 stroker back some eight years ago. There is a distant lack of hipo cams in the Poly market at present and we have the largest Schnieder flat tappet available...

Hi Jobman, I have seen a lot of 318ci Pollies going back to 1959 and they have all been RED! Even the 58 270ci Poly is red too. Paint it whatever color you want as its a personal choice I believe. I have a resto-mate that paints all his engines BLACK! Go figure...:moparsmiley:

Thanx for the reply Wayfarer. My Moparmate has just bought a 'Hotheads' 291 hemi roller cam, its a mix'n'match with a LA geardrive. Comcams have suppiled Poly 'ROLLER' cams for the 'Engine-masters' Pollies, but are saying they have no more and can't do anymore? I will try and contact the...

Yep, Rollers are the only way to go methinks! Just had yet another LA hipo flat-tappet cam failure in a 400hp 360 LA motor! That was after five years and it does a lot of damage to the piston skirts etc. So we are gonna go Crower Roller as per our Bigblocks as they are AWESOME! Just need to...

Many thanx for the replies fellow truckers! We have had the 'Beast from the East' from Russia bringing extreme cold and deep snow. So my truck is stuck in the Carport until it passes! Yep I know minus 15 degrees and a foot of snow is 'chicken feed' to you guys , but hey this is ENGLAND...

Those stepsides are awesome, I had a 72 and regret selling her! I now have a 64 D200 WSS, is the only way to rock and roll!

Hi Truck Folks. I have a 64-D200 poly truck which I was going to make into a 426 WSS special, but I'm gonna keep her Poly! Best wishes from John Location: Sheppey UK
