Before I saw yer edit above I was going to axe who the Amish guy was behind the Blazer. I was also going to axe why the Amish guy was on a cell phone, since they tend to distance themselves from modern technology. Then lastly, I was going to axe why the Amish guy seemed to be shaking hands with Mr Beef. :mrgreen:

PS: The grillwork on the Blazer looks good. But it kinda makes it look like a Dodge for some reason...:nod:

Thanks! :lol:


Yeah, thats Amish Matt. Thanks UBG....and yeah, I figured since it looks like a Dodge, I should put a Dodge engine in it...

Amish Matt needs a wide brimmed hat and some suspenders. You're putting a 360 Dodge in a Blazer? I thought it was an over bored three fitty Chevy...

Im not amish!

:funny:

Hey Big Jon,

Is Amish Matt one of the Amish guys who put up yer pole barn? If so, can you, er, I mean THOU puttith me in touch widst him? Maybe you can PM me his cell phone number...I won't rat him out to the Amish elders that he has a cell phone, or was pictured w/o his wide brimmed hat and suspenders. Come to think of it, isn't it even against the Amish way to be photographed? Anywho, it's all cool wit me. :mrgreen:

Eh hes got cool (gas powered) toys so he definitely isnt Amish

His secret is safe with me. I don't care if he has a cell phone and hot rods, I won't rat him out to the Amish elders. Just get me in touch with him, 'casue i want to talk to him about putting up a building. :mrgreen:

Sorry for the crappy picture...but, I was an idiot and never changed the flex plate....I had to pull the engine BACK out to switch it over, but its in...headers fit great, and hopefully will be fired this week.

sorry for being a chrysler noob, but i thought the dizzys all came out on a angle near the water pump.

good progress though!

Bigblock mopars (400-413-426-440) have the front distributor...I do believe some older small block mopars did have them in the front, but I could be wrong.


EDIT* The 383 Mopar had the front distributor also.

Sorry for the crappy phone video, but it runs!

Well, a big accomplishment was made today. It moved under its own power. From our barn, around our field, up to the house, and back to the barn...
