Thanks Demon,
It is a sickness, I think I caught it from Mike Jeffery, Doc, Ron Hamby, Lou, and Seymour,And Mark, They are all carriers of this debilitating disease, virus, what ever you want to call it..
If you don't get treated soon, it will eat up your time, pocketbook and require machine, engine/Trans/Drivetrain building, Critical thinking, Decision making, and fabricating skills. Oh yeah you will learn tons more than in any BS conversation and you will have gobs of fun with your work.
It is Fun; So much So, That many People at my local dragstrip think my slant6 plate on the back of ruster is a joke, and that the car has a 340 
Now for the Good News!
Well after returning home from Mason Dixon this past weekend I decided to begin the engine removal / teardown process as I heard a low rackety noise coming from the crankcase in ruster  Thought I destroyed some Rod Bearings ???
After getting the car up on jackstands and Draining coolant, pulling Headers/ Intake I Begin to take the engine / trans apart to get the engine pulled. I thought I have some crazy rod noise..
NOPE - ALL LIES..
Torque converter / flexplate Was loose.
I glopped tons of red loctite on and Tightned them up more this time and Slapped it togther -- (NO NOISE NOW) YAY YAY YAY..
So that's all good.
While at Mason Dixon I bought a Set of Hooker SuperComps to add to my header collection..
I put them on tho try out.
Primary tubes are Bigger than MP 6X1's !
Hooker Tubes (it's OD I know)
Mopar 6X1 OD
A Bit of grinding is Required with a deep pan, but nothing like the Old Clifford Long tubes.
Test n Tune was Rained out Tonite - so Maybe sometime later in the month, But we shall see how these work as compared to the Mopar 6X1's -
Are Slantzilla/Mike Jeffery correct in their accusation that ruster will be faster with these Hookers on? We will see!
