Tearing it down to build it back up! Engine refresh step one.

That dodge dashboard looks like it was part of the light show 😂

[@raggedyannohiosmalltire2329]

It’s a light show all in its own. 🫣🤣

[@stephenneat4277]

I know you all prob try to keep Darin out of the spot light due to his condition. Is great to see him and the family together.

[@waltersmith1018]

Thin coat of never seize on both sides of header gaskets will help a bunch! Displaces heat so good! I’ve done this since the late 80,s! Works so good!

[@raggedyannohiosmalltire2329]

Thanks for the tip. Appreciate it

[@vw64manyrd]

A comment for the youtube algorithm. The trains and lights are always a hit for the kids, young and old alike. Thanks for taking us along and thanks for all the videos. 👍

[@donaldhaire1502]

I'm a old man but I liked the train sets

[@raggedyannohiosmalltire2329]

It’s my pleasure, glad you’re enjoying the content.

[@bradchandler6967]

Old Raggedy has been a tough old girl. That engine's done acrobatics and even snorted some grass and dirt a couple years back but refuses to give up ! I know you'll get her all updated and battle ready for next season and I can't wait ! I watched Limpy's episode with "Beater Bomb" yesterday and he said "the cars are getting faster every year", and I've noticed that just sitting here in my recliner ! I guess you'll have the turbo car next year too ? And that conservatory was WAAAY cool ! They put a lot of effort into that for sure ! The golf course was neat too, but nowhere near as impressive. Darin has good taste !! Ok guys--I'll say MERRY CHRISTMAS now just in case you don't post another one before then. Looking forward to 2025 🙂

[@guiguitonicmotorsport]

Thank you! We had a great time and he did indeed have a blast!

[@eddie3489]

Amazing getting all those passes on a nitrous motor!

[@raggedyannohiosmalltire2329]

I left a lot of power on the table

[@eddie3489]

[@freddiemoralez1536]

Motor not to bad. Your tune ups good 👍🏾. Thank you for the update.🤔🙏🏾💪🏾🇺🇲🇺🇲 4 all ✅

[@davidcason2668]

You should get a hold of SRC those guys could probably help you out with the transmission portion of it take it over to Vickers and have Vickers go through it I'm sure Billy would be happy to help you out with that you guys are close

[@WilliamVance-y5r]

If I stayed closer I would be Happy to Help

[@tca375]

Nice that you can get away and go to awesome place like that.

[@johnathangehring9370]

Hey CJ what are your plans with the rockers since your replacing them ?

[@raggedyannohiosmalltire2329]

I’ll more than likely be selling it all when the new is on.

[@nataralabrams8933]

Don’t never say that you don’t know if she can run with the big dogs at dig or die,you’re the bigger DAWG👍

[@raggedyannohiosmalltire2329]

Shoot, make me blush over here. Haha. But really I just do the best I can there. I’ve went threw my yrs of not doing good at dod for sure. Had trans issues and was just unable to locate the issue for a long time as everything seemed to be perfect in it.

[@micah6615]

You ever use that line to line coating that is very good application to have on your Pistons skirts

[@raggedyannohiosmalltire2329]

I have not.

[@98Z28LS1]

👍👍

[@davidreed6070]

It looks like you have some reversion going on there.

[@raggedyannohiosmalltire2329]

Yeah seems to be a lot. Lol

[@xxkingslayemxxgamer5553]

Get some heads were the intake port is at the top of the valve cover rail high ports

[@baldhead7705]

Man just looks like you're Pistons are loose in the boars

[@raggedyannohiosmalltire2329]

They are, and we’re/have been.

[@Stupidfastracing]

CJ you are the man love Raggedy Ann ol girl is always ready to party

[@raggedyannohiosmalltire2329]

Thank you. Lol. We likes to party.

[@robloose3360]

Find somebody with a Bridgeport and have them machine the flanges on the headers I’ve done it here at work before just have to make a fixture to hole the header when getting cut or a 20 inch sander disc and a lot of muscle 😂

[@raggedyannohiosmalltire2329]

Right!! Tim and I was talking about just that. Turns out he has both machines out there and the one gone be a task to hold the header in place firmly, and the other gonna absolutely suck for me and my poor little armed. Lmao. But he said it’s up to me on what I want to do. Lol

[@robloose3360]

@ I use a 3 inch fly cutter and it takes it In on pass or so

[@mrpenland]

i may have missed it ,but what size is that i know 351 but actual cubes?

[@raggedyannohiosmalltire2329]

427

[@franker1111]

Didn't you replace number 1 a while back

[@raggedyannohiosmalltire2329]

That’s what I’m thinking but I can’t remember what one it was. Lol 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@vinmandich7756]

Cj answer me back what are you going to do with the heads I'm know they been threw he'll and had there fair share of weld put back into them but the build i been trying to finish for almost a year now won't be but around 750hp in need of cam lifters intake I'm stuck on i would go efi Victor 5.0 93 style. Or i have a real funnellweb but I am efi and I don't want to cut or weld on a very hard to find intake so probably going to go Victor Jr 5140 flange with efi and elbow all that is needed and injectors

[@raggedyannohiosmalltire2329]

I’ll have to get rid of them/sell them or something. They have a ton of work done to them but yes they’ve been welded on a time or two. Lol. Or more. Haha

[@raggedyannohiosmalltire2329]

I think all my cams I think have left are 55mm

[@franker1111]

Sell that motor build something better with more power

[@TonyWilhoit]

You can make plenty of power with a Windsor.

[@raggedyannohiosmalltire2329]

I’ve had thoughts of doing that
