Ok John, I'm also working on project #2 The Chyrsler 500 HP V-10 Motorcycle
conversion in to Kid_Again's Small Block Vette. Trying to figure out how to get the extra 2 sets of 2 wheels into the passenger compartment area and fit the side pipes on....

If you'll look closely, you'll notice Lars' slobber all over the spout:
We'll do the suspension when it warms up a bit. Your engine install takes priority. I want to do that more than my stupid suspension.:yesnod:

Steve, why would you decide against the front leaf spring suspension? I'm pretty sure I'm gonna' go with it but still doing research.

Hey Kurt,
I'm hoping to have the engine by 2/22, but this all depends on the builder getting it shipped. Also, weather will be a factor too.
I'm glad you guys are as excited as I am :cheers:

Re: The Next CCC Projects... (lars)
To help out the engine swap project, I even built a couple of engine dollies on casters. I have 2 engine stands in my garage, but I figured that a couple of low-boy engine dollies with some big casters would be cool to have just to store the engines on and to roll them around. I built each one for about $25, so we'll post up some pics of the engines on the dollies for all you gadget & tool freaks out there.. you gotta' build some of these - they're pretty cool... Right now it's cold enough out here to turn my gin into slush, and the CCC lawnchairs have frozen to the driveway.... I better have another drink and wait for it to warm up so we can do this engine swap.
....And I didn't forget... the next CCC projects include a how-to garage paint job on Milehigh66's 427 convert and a custom under-car big-tube chambered exhaust with "X" pipe on blkblt's '66. Stay tuned for some great fun projects with the ultimate beer drinking fraternity...!

He CO_Sledgehammer,
Been talkin' with Hogan64 and he mentioned your crate motor was bought through AR Racing. I've tried to find their website...no luck. Could you post where they are. Thinkin' about your 406 crate project has got my horsepower juices flowin'. :hurray: Curious, is your motor solid or hydraulic? Roller or not?:
Thanks!
Jim

Re: The Next CCC Projects... (6T5RUSH)
Hi Jim,
Their website is:
http://www.maxhorsepower.com
Also, they often have auctions on eBay. Do a search under "383 engine" and you'll see their engines and feedback. I'll post more once we get it fired-up, but there are several guys in the C3 section that are happy w/ AR Racing.
My engine is a hydraulic 406, but I'm sure they'll work with you to give you exactly what you're looking for.
:cheers:
John

Don't be conned..... The CCC are working quietly on our own car; a ground up build of a big block.
I know I am breaking the CCC code of silence (CCC COS, for you government types) but here is the proto-type mock-up....

Re: The Next CCC Projects... (Blkblt)
Well Jeff, You have forced the "NJCC" to reveal our project. We will be more then happy to meet you at a mutual agreed upon drage strip to see who takes top honors. We are working on the placement of the "KEG" of Schmidts"
and expect to solve the problem soon.

Re: The Next CCC Projects... (JohnZ)
I like dollies too. Here is one I bought at Carlisle a few years back. It came with a few options. A friend built the wooden skid we added to keep the real 67 L88 engine (slightly modified to facilitate a running demonstration) from flipping over when reved to 7600rpm. :eek: :eek: :eek:
