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.

To be honest, I am not sure how I am going to handle that. Seems any combination I sell there will be a lot of kickback, like I want this intake with that valve cover and vice versa.

I'm working on trying to get all my orders out That's the biggest problem My wife my kids everybody's sick but me So that leaves a lot of responsibility on me right now Plus 1:18 guys remembered me I guess because all the sudden they're ordering again and in mastroves put all that together and I'm trying but I have to take care of current orders first. I already have the stock version completely printed out at my scale I keep an inventory all time I'm hoping maybe tonight I can list the stock version.

I made it one of those eventually especially if I can find one to scan I don't like fans they're extremely hard to print I started doing them and then I realized it's just hideous break too easy and you can get them and photo edge that look just as good

Well I am not saying that the one that Jays, it looks like his, is the same

That is not my Hellcat, my Hellcat looks like this.

Usually nothing is needed if they didn't do a good job cleaning then maybe an alcohol wash but even then it's just going to be the quality that suffers because any residue that was left behind will cure. It's never a bad idea to wipe it with alcohol if there's any oil or grease from your fingers it gets on it it'll remove it we get the best results when painting

So as far as my photography skills and color balancing things it's not very good Not only that but they are shot under bright white LEDs but as far as widest snow I can only think of a few that are older pictures where I was using a much lighter resin that did not show the details as well and I've never went back and assembled those engines and we took the photos. But that's generally limited to the coyote engines and maybe the original Firepower Hemi.

New year new stuff

I mean it's possible do you already have a design or do you need one made

I have all three generations of the Hemi, first two "Firepower" and "Elephant" come in stock all the way to drag variations and in between.

I have a pretty good selection of off road tires and wheels, and have wheels designed for VW's that would translate well IMHO
