I am traveling to my backyard ?

I have listed some engine bay upgrade pieces they can be found at: https://tx3dcustoms.com/collections/engine-bay-upgrades

I make torque thrust wheels

I really appreciate that attitude and it tends to be the rarity it seems.

Yeah so I'm actually sitting on about four versions of that engine right now because before I catch up I can't start releasing more options

Well I used to send messages to people saying are you sure you want this but I could actually started annoying people and I can understand why of course sometimes I'm still wondering why I don't do that cuz then people get mad because they didn't order the right thing and somehow it's my fault.

I will say that your order actually somewhat surprised me I don't think I've ever seen anybody order those wheels without ordering at least one pair of deep dish I'm not saying it's wrong I was just a little surprised

And yes I was confused I don't know much about AMC never was a fan and I tend to fixate on what I am into, Thunderbirds I can go on for days about the generations the engine choices and differences in models. Of course that all started when I got my second bird back in 02 which was a 67 390 tudor

Well just because someone else did something doesn't mean I won't, otherwise tell everyone to stop making engines after I did first like the Slant six or the flathead. Also I am scanning one so the accuracy and precision will be better to the point of exact and as with most of my engines there will be more than a single variant.

Sorry I was thinking you meant the Pontiac 400 and 455

So here is the deal though, its not going to be any time soon, I have a long list of engines I found at a junkyard, and the Cleveland will be before them, the Pontiac is far back on the list. And as far as I know the 401 and 455 are externally the same so there wont be both

So due to a lot of circumstances I am a little slow on shipping, first I have strep throat, two people have gone crazy ordering from me, especially the 69 Camaro WB like 2 a day for the last 4 days, and last I have some kid events to attend to. Hopefully next week I will drop the long ram and Tri-Power. Then I will start working over the 426 to use the new transmissions the cross ram and a few other small updates.

I am headed to a classic car junkyard to buy some engines for scanning, I will ask if they have a housing for this reason

I do not sell them individually

Another thing that I really didn't think about but I am now when you're talking about working at GMT and I'm not sure who FM is You're talking about multi-million dollar corporations with employees and complex IT departments that probably could make all that happen I am one guy in my garage working with the limitations of Shopify and eBay

And I was right

To make it more complicated you can't inventory sub items so to keep my inventory system now I need to inventory manually

Okay so first Shopify limits you to 3 options but let's go with that one for scale one for transmission and then what one for intake or heads or exhaust but not all, but even at 3 options with my 440 scale heads and transmission is 24 different items to track not if you could do exhaust and only 2 options now 48 items to track now add in carbs and let's say limit that to 3 options we are at 144 items and let's not forget the valve covers with just two I am at 288 items to track, now if you could pick the intake and let's say just stock Mopar and Torker II, now we are at 864 items let's not forget the air filter and let's just say 3 options, 2592 different items or variants that all have to be at minimum price set.

So right the problem is that if I sell the block by itself with the oil pan because that never changes well that's not true but let's just go with it doesn't and then the transmission separately and then the heads separately and then the upper end like headers and intake and carburetors and all that jazz everything gets really complicated for me print-wise because instead of you know six or seven combinations I've got like 500 combinations and then, you know it I know it people are just going to buy the intakes and the headers and I will never sell an engine

You mean offer to discounted price a kit made to dress up a engine from a kit car which is not the business I'm in. Perhaps not the most popular opinion but I make engines full platforms

So I actually have the six pack the Mopar single plane (pictured) the Torker II Bone Stock and the Long Ram. Both the 727 and A833 Transmissions, all made from scans all extremely accurate. I also scanned a 4150 and a Classic AFB. My plan is to do the Torker Stock and Long Rams with the stock VC's and the Mopar and the Tri-Power with the M/T's and the Blown version I will make.

But if it had the stock heads would you feel the same? Most would rather the M/T valve covers, but there are some that don't then there is the long ram and the stock valve covers fit better, but then people are telling me I shouldn't do it that way. So then the solution is to sell the heads like I do with the 572 with the Moroso VC heads as an upgrade then that leads down a whole different rabbit hole.
