Moparz " Custom Bodied Concept Car With First 1000 Cube Hemi V-8 Makes Its Debut
Moparz a custom bodied muscle car with the worlds only 1000 cubic inch Hemi V8. Jeff Lilly Restorations http://www.jefflilly.com is pressing down the pedal to the Moparz metal on this one off creation. Jeff states "I've always loved Mopar Muscle cars with their distinct curb appeal, so I took the best of each area I liked and combined them to flow in harmony from the different body styles like the Challenger, Charger and Cuda and others along with some tasteful custom touches. It looks the way I would have wanted it to be in 1970 or in 2008 "
Jeff Lilly Restorations specializes in building original muscle cars as well as custom builds. Their work has appeared hundreds of times in all the major magazines and I highly recommend "The Ultimate Shop Tour" at their website and click on the "Crazy Plumb" Purple Beast in the muscle car section to see MOPARZ first hand at http://www.jefflilly.com
To start with, the car will have a custom chassis to house the world's only 1000 cubic inch Hemi V-8 engine, " see engine specs below " 6 speed tranny, one off independent suspension system front and rear with electric power brakes and 14 inch rotors set behind the one off "Cuda Bullet" wheels featuring no visual lug nuts. The interior will be built with custom one off seats, a pistol grip shifter with custom inlaid wood and a Black Chrome shifter arm. A/C, killer stereo, modern dash and door panel treatments etc,
The exterior will feature a custom fabbed Charger style concealed head light system, repositioned Cuda hood bulges, Cuda lower valance air grilles and recessed Challenger style tail lights.
The roof will be chopped and raked at the front 2 inches from stock, the front and rear windshields will be refitted from the interior side to allow a smooth opening with no chrome moldings only a wire formed edge, The rear qter panels will be slightly longer to accommodate a custom transition spoiler that wraps around the rear light assembly. The bumpers will be fitted close to the body with the door handles, locks and Gas Cap removed and smoothed.
With an insane Mopar like this, what else would you expect! It will pretty much smoke the tires at any speed you like and the sound will be like no other ever heard. See the engine specs below!
The 1000 Cubic inch Super Charged Hemi Engine will feature a CN Custom 5.300 Bore Space Hemi Block-5.100 Bore Size and a Bryant Custom 6.125 Stroke 5.300 Bore Space Crankshaft (5.100 x 5.100 x 6.125 x .7854 x 8 = 1,000.98cu) with 5.300 Bore Space Hemi Cylinder Heads featuring 2.700 Intake Valves and 2.0 Exhaust Valves. In addition a Jessel Hemi Rocker Gear system with Custom 70mm Roller Camshaft.
A Custom Dan Olson Dry Sump Oil Pan with Moroso Dry Sump Pump will lubricate the Custom Aluminum Billet connecting rods with Custom Hemi Blower Pistons & Pins along with HD Push Rods. For the Top End Custom Sheet Metal Hemi Rocker Valve Covers will be fabricated along with a Custom Sheet Metal Blower Intake Manifold featuring a Pro Charger F3 Blower and Pro Charger Drive Kit fitted with an Electronic Fuel Injection system Estimated to be 1500 to 2000 horsepower!

valve cover breather installation question?
I have a 91 corolla and am trying to install a valve cover breather\filter on the valve cover. i need to know if you leave the pcv valve in place when you install the breather or do you remove it completely and just put the breather in. also what do you do with the open hole on the intake manifold when you disconnect the pcv hose? do you just plug it?
The filter is not intended to replace the pcv valve. Without it, it will create a vacuum leak and your vehicle may not run or run bad. The pcv valve is there for a reason, to recirculate blow by back to the cylinders to reburn it. The breather filter does nothing but look "cool" I guess. The filter will eventually become saturated with oil and drip on your valve cover.

Garden Water Fountains Provide Impressive Outdoor Features
One of the best ways to improve the environment is to think about adding a water feature into the garden, there is a whole range of benefits that come with doing this and it will without doubt bring a totally new dimension to your garden.
There are lots of ways to add a water feature into your existing garden layout and if you are short on space then it is important to not let this put you off. One of the best ways is to add a garden water fountain; these are extremely decorative pieces that can fit into any part of the garden whether it is on a patio, decking area or in the main area. As there are so many different designs and sizes as mentioned before it does not matter how large your space is, there will be one that is ideal for you. The beauty of garden water fountains is they are extremely easy to install into position and they are completely mobile, so unlike a pond you can transfer your fountain to a new position if required. Likewise if you already have a water feature within your garden the garden water fountain can easily be integrated into your existing layout.
The fountains are self contained units and the water pump is integrated within the feature and with easy maintenance they can pretty much be left to run with out any hassle and are ideal for you to enjoy any time of the year. There are lots of different varieties of materials used from traditional stones right through to more contemporary metals and it really comes down to personal preference to which style will look best within your garden. The modern designs are really superb and make use of shape and design combined together to form stunning looking pieces, but if you are into something a little more rustic then you may like the more traditional looking garden water fountains ranging from the bird bath styles right through to the regal and gothic looking pieces.
If you are planning on rejuvenating your garden and are looking for a cost effective solution to adding a water feature into your outside space then a garden water fountain really makes sense. There are so many positive reasons to adding one and by doing so you will be ensuring your garden has a soothing and calming influence and you get a stunning decorative feature as well. A modern, contemporary and stylish finish are just some of the words which can be used to describe the difference a garden water fountain could make to your homes patio, decking or garden space.

What power steering bracket do I need for 82 350 chevy w/headers?
Ok, Im having problems installing my power Steering Pump due to the headers being aftermarket on my 82 c10 pickup with no AC. When I look online, they have brackets to be used with short and long water pumps. I have the stock one with four bolts and an outlet on the bottom left side. What is it? And also, where can I find that cheap piece of metal(bracket) not over $60??? Thanks.
You shouldn't need any bracket except the original one. Mount it up tighten everything down, then cut a piece of tubing the same length as the space. Put the factory manifold bolts back in through the tube. Done.

The colder the air drawn into the air, the denser it will become. The denser the air, the greater the oxygen content is. Oxygen is the primary element that helps burn fuel. Therefore, the colder the air, the greater the vehicle power is. Indeed, the significance of the auto air intake cannot be overstated. However, there is still a great number of car owners who are still entertaining cobwebs at the back of their head.
To wipe away confusions and misconceptions, salient and factual points should be emphasized. Here are top queries regarding air intake:
1. What should one use in case of an engine swap?
There are several intake systems that are designed to accommodate engine swaps. The AEM air cold intake V2, for instance, could accommodate popular engine swaps. The popular swaps include those for Honda and Acura vehicles. These intakes are fully warranted and guarantees direct fit. However, for other cars engine swap is not recommended because it could not guarantee proper fit of the intake system and the manufacturer could void the warranty given.
2. How important is soft mount? What does it do?
Majority of auto air intake system designs mount to a vehicle in two locations – to the engine at the throttle body and the filter end of the inlet pipe. Soft mount offers a flexible link for the inlet pipe between the engine and the car’s body. If soft mount is not properly installed the inlet tube may break at the bracket weld and may void the warranty of the car system.
3. What is the warranty on the air intake system?
Basically, the air intake system is given a lifetime warranty. However, there are instances when the manufacturer voids the warranty due to some violations on the part of the purchaser. Most of air intake system manufacturers dishonor warranty due to mechanical damage like damage from accidents, misuse or flying debris. There are also some manufacturers that do not warrant powder coating if a hydrocarbon-based solvent was used to clean it. The system should be cleaned with a mild soap and water solution – no more, no less. In invoking the system’s warranty it is necessary to bring along the proof of purchase of both the vehicle and the intake system.
The warranty is limited to repairs and replacements only. However, the warranty shall not exceed the original price of the system’s part. The warranty is not transferable and it is only applicable to the original purchaser. Thus, subsequent purchasers can no longer avail of said warranty.
4. Can I use a bypass valve with the V2?
No. The induction system of the air intake utilizes a dual chamber to produce multiple frequency sound waves. The installation of the bypass valve would interrupt the tuning of the entire system. In addition, in some instances, the valve is impossible to install.
The AEM V2 air intake, for one, is designed to perform and look good. Moreover, they often feature exceptional design techniques. The manufacturer is continuously conducting research and testing on various materials, length and filtering to ensure excellent performance.

What muffler should I put on my 1993 V6 Camaro?
I'm thinking about this one:
http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/details/QQChevroletQQCamaroQQFlowmasterQQMufflerQQ19861997QQF13953048.html
But I'm also thinking about a glasspack...I'm not sure. I know once the fiberglass burns down it sounds like it's dieing, and then you have to replace them, I don't mind it.
It's all stock, with a K&N intake...is the exhaust inlet on the stock V6 3in.? If it is, that will help me look around more. I want her to be loud but not an annoying ricey sound.
After I get a muffler put on, what should I go with for a tip?
And glasspacks are installed just by cutting off the old muffler and clamping the new one on right? Same with regular aftermarket mufflers? Then you bolt on, clamp or weld the tip on if you get one?
Sorry, I'm younger and don't know much about cars, but I want to learn.
stock exhaust is most likely 2 in not 3 in and should welded in so it willnot leak flowmaster has good muffler for v6 camero cross mounted go to any exhhaust shop they will install so it does not rattle and hangs right go 2 .5 or 3 in tips daul out looks and sounds good deap rumble for 3.4 it will never sound like v8 but 3.4 can be made to be a screamer lots of proformance stuff check summit etc lots of books on it in stores

Boat parts can be purchased either online or local boating supply stores. Some boat supplies and accessories should always be bought new, while others can be bought used. The most important boat parts—steering wheel, batteries, boat propellers, navigational systems, electrical systems, etc., are what keeps your boat going, so you should invest most of your money on them.
Other necessary boat parts include safety items such as first aid kits, lights, ladders, life jackets, etc. are required by law to be on all boats, so you need to make sure you invest in buying them. Make sure you buy the newest, upgraded safety boat equipment that you can find. You need to make sure that you have extra batteries for all of them, and extra equipment to measure the life of your batteries.
Having a GPS system installed onboard can literally save your life. It’s always a good idea to have communication electronics onboard just in case you meet trouble. You can keep up with all the other boaters 24/7, and you never know when they may warn you about something that they have seen or experienced. You can alert the Coast Guard if misfortune ever arises for you and/or for your fellow boaters.
Some boating equipment isn’t necessary or all that important, but boaters always love having them on board anyway. I’m talking about things like TV, music radios, DVD players, fishing gear, water skis, and more. Many people prefer to spend as much time as possible out on the water, and having entertainment supplies installed onboard is a must-have for them. Ship-to-shore powerl ines help make this possible. Sometimes, if you’re not too far out, you may be able to pick up wi-fi Internet access. Marine electronics make it possible to access the Internet 5 miles off shore!
I know that boats do have gearboxes that change the gear ratio, but how come they don't have transmissions with more than one gear. i assume that you don't need a transmission because there isn't alot of resistance for the propeller to turn unlike rolling resistance that you get in a car, but i would think that multiple gears would be helpful in raising the rpms of the prop and lower the engine rpm while already moving in the water. also if you know of any where to learn more about marine mechanics please let me know. thank you
Those that answered about the dif between cars and boats are correct. Boat engines always have a load on them (like going uphill in a car.) So boats wouldn't really get the most use out of a tranny and the trannies weigh alot. That is why boats that do use them only use a two speed tranny like a power glide. But there are some props that can change pitch are various rpms. They due this using springs and weights in the hub. I don't think that they can handle super high horse power though. There are also props that have a progressive pitch that changes as the pitch across the face of the blade. Read the links below for more info.
Neat addition to your nautical room or beach house or bar or restaurant.
Antiqued faux propeller looks like it is covered in rust and looks real.
Built in hanger hook for easy placement....
On the surface, choosing the correct propeller for a particular boat seems simple. But one factor affects another, which then affects another factor, leading many boaters to believe that propeller selection depends more on black magic than logic. All the questions are answered in this complete reference, the first of its kind. This clear, easy-to-use handbook for all small boats is written not fo...

How about a Giants/Jets Super Bowl? THE BATTLE OF NEW YORK?
Both teams are currently 1-0 and very confident. This would be the first time two teams in the same state, actually it's JERSEY but should be New York would battle each other in the Super Bowl.

The Dearborn-based automaker Ford Motor Company lost $12.7 billion last year - the most that they have lost in the company’s long and quite so colorful history. The company has even sold the ultra-luxury brand Aston Martin to bolster its sagging coffers. And now it is in the process of selling the two British brands in the Premiere Automotive Group (PAG) - Jaguar and Land Rover.
For the near future though, FoMoCo is looking to increase their shrinking market share in the United States auto market. The company hopes to increase its market share by offering a revitalized lineup for the 2008 model year. The company will be offering the revived and redesigned Ford Taurus and the production of which has just started. Aside from the Taurus, Ford’s 2008 model year lineup also includes redesigned crossover SUVs. Crossovers are now considered the most sought after vehicle in the market.
According to Ford’s president of the Americas, Mark Fields, the company is aiming to take about 14 to 15 percent of the local auto market. The past years has seen the market share of the car manufacturer reduced as Japanese rivals increased sales in the United States. Toyota, Honda and Nissan are all expanding their offerings for the United States auto market and Ford needs to counter it by offering new and competitive cars.
According to Fields, the company’s share of the market today is about 15.3 percent. This means that one goal in their “Way Forward” has already been achieved and now they are looking to stabilize that share in the largest auto market in the world. At an event at Ford’s Dearborn testing facility where new Ford, Mercury and Lincoln vehicles were showcased, Fields has this to say: “We really are starting to deliver products that people will want.”
Aside from the Ford Taurus sedan which has been redesigned completely and looks very different from its predecessor, Ford will also introduce the Taurus X for the 2008 model year. The Taurus X is a rebadged version of the Ford Freestyle, a crossover SUV. The Taurus X is one of the vehicles that Ford is looking at to attract car buyers with. Their lineup of light trucks is also redesigned for the 2008 model year. SUVs and pickups which can be equipped with the Ford pickup cowl cover are now offered with more standard features to attract more buyers.
Aside from anchoring their hopes on the 2008 lineup, Ford is also looking to continue their workforce reduction. According to Fields, Ford has essentially achieved the goal of cutting down 14,000 jobs. Fields said that about 4,000 employees have already left the company last year, while the 10,000 employee-reduction will be implemented this year.
“We actually are done with that,” said Fields. “We do have some folks that are staying with us a little bit longer, through the remainder of the year, in some critical positions.”
As for their production capacity, Fields has this to say: “Overall, we're ahead of where we expected to be in capacity reduction. Economic conditions continue to make it more and more difficult for our suppliers, and that means we are going to have to work even harder to reach our targeted material cost reductions.”
Ford lost money last year due to the fact that they are producing vehicles more than what they can sell. To turn the company back to profitability, Ford needed to reduce its production.

The Dolphin 25 Fisher has finally been finished after a couple of up and down years in its production! Basically it was constructed in between frenetic bouts of work, overseas trips, cruising the Whitsundays, illness and several location moves! But finally it’s ready!
However, one could possible conceive it as delayed pleasure, I suppose!
The D25 as it’s known was originally designed to be one of the largest, if not the largest stitch and glue project boat in Australia. ( whether or not that is actually true I know not until someone else claims differently!)
The idea came about when I had completed a Dolphin 19 Yawl and got to thinking,
“ There’s not an earthly reason why you couldn’t continue to create frameless stitch and glue boats as big as you want to? Why doesn’t anyone else do it?”
As far as I am concerned that question still hasn’t been answered and next year’s project will be an extension of the D25 into a proper grown up 35 foot stitch and glue frameless boat that could either be made as either a yacht or a power boat until late into the construction. It will have optional swing keel or bilge keels or if power only a long straight keel.
Some of the readers of this magazine are aware that I built the ‘Nicky J Miller” as a frameless yacht but she was actually built out of strip planking. (visit www.dolphinboatplans.com and follow the links to “The Nicky J.” She has seen ( and survived! ) some fearful seas and has performed faultlessly over the last six years. So any sceptics should rest assured that it isn’t just a ‘flash in the pan!” The ongoing wonders of epoxy!
However, I digress, back to the D25. Several design changes were made during the initial construction. The boat was turning out to be much larger than I had perceived it in my mind’s eye and I realised that we could get the boat strong enough for a really big outboard if people wanted one, if we made a few changes to the pod and the transom.
In fact the D25 is fitted with a 90 h.p. Yamaha outboard and It can take any thing up to a 120 hp motor. The pod has a large amount of positive buoyancy and keeps the stern up nicely giving a few
benefits along the way.
These include, heaps of room inside, clear space out on deck for fishing diving gear and passengers. The outboard is quieter of course, being so far aft and the pod’s buoyancy helps the boat stay level when a big handful of power is applied and, more importantly she rides the big stern wave nicely when power is reduced suddenly.
Another exciting innovation with the D25 is that she is absolutely stuffed with around two and a half ‘flotation’ tonnes of the amazing new Thermotec buoyancy foam. Considering that the boat itself only weighs around a tonne, dare I think it, let alone say it, that the D25 that I have built is unsinkable…well, I’ll let you draw your own conclusions!
The Thermotec foam is the latest in hi-tech buoyancy foam and it is a boatbuilder’s and surveyor’s dream come true! It is so easy to install, it’s not true. My foam came in two metre by one metre by 15 centimetre black sheets but it comes in evry conceivable shape, square and round.
I simply cut it up with a sharp knife and squeezed it into place and glued it with builder’s glue! You cannot believe how simple that is. The technology is the brainchild of Theremotec the people that bought us the pool noodles except this foam is high density especially for positive flotation.. The buoyancy factor for the foam is 910kg buoyancy per cubic metre. Therefore one sheet 50mm x 1000mm x 2000mm would have a buoyancy factor of 91kg
No more brainwhirling calculations, two part mixing or building special compartments or sticky mixing, measuring and pouring and running away from the fumes! Just slice and glue!
This great foam has the honour of being accepted as suitable for the first commercial registration and a Lewis ski-boat has the honour of being the first Australian boat to be registered commercially using this foam. The ski-boat underwent very rigorous swamp tests, being totally flooded and stayed level and floating with six large adult men standing upright in it !
The added bonus is that this foam is closed cell, fuel proof, chemical proof and fire retardant…doesn’t get much better than that!
When I saw the photos of their test I decided on the spot to do the extra work to accommodate the foam and although the boat was delayed it has been very much worth it for peace of mind.
The D25 has been designed for the very maximum utilisation for divers and fishermen especially. The huge rear deck allows up to six fishermen to have room to fish a’plenty. The lowered transom allows the fish to be landed and dealt with on the rear platform that covers the pod.
The cabin allows a large double bed or twin singles to be chosen and can be changed on the spot. There is a special station outside for cooking and contains a portable camping gas stove alleviating the need for the dreaded gas certificate and a sink. Under this is storage a’plenty and the same goes for inside where there is a large cupboard space, room for a porta –potty or permanent sea toilet inside a shower compartment. This boat is easily live aboard for a couple for weeks on end.. One customer who has purchased the plans intends to live on his permanently, his own dream come true, fishing and cruising for life! Incidentally there is six foot two inches standing headroom in the cabin.
CONSTRUCTION
The basic construction is from epoxy composite ply, epoxy resin and cotech 450 gram woven cloth. When the ply sheets are presoaked before glassing the longevity is remarkable. A D25 built from this construction can expect to be around in twenty years id maintained as should be, as should any boat built this way, for that matter.
The boat has been like all Dolphins that have preceded it, to be built from the simplest of plans that have completely dispensed with lofting !
Lofting is the bane of all boatbuilders and after one has fought with billowing paper plans that flap, rip, tear and soak plus driving you batty, the simply ‘Easy-build’ process is a joy to use. An X/Y graph is drawn onto one side of the floor and hull sides treated plywood, using a felt tip marker, dots made where the given dimensions on the plans intersect and then using a bendy batten the dots are joined up and the shapes of the floor and sides are done!
All that remains is to cut ‘em out using a jig saw.
When that side is done you simply lay those shapes over the second side, draw the shape and then cut out again! So quick!
One great thing is that you can pre-soak, glass and fair the sides and floors before construction saving a huge and difficult uphill job of fairing when God and gravity isn’t on your side!..the time savings are significant and the whole hull and floors should only only take about a week before fitting them together.
As to the cost overall it is really quite inexpensive compared to a ‘shop bought’. If labour is NOT taken into account ( if you are doing it yourself, that is!) and NO rented premises are used and the price of the motor is NOT included it should be possible to build the basic boat for around six thousand dollars. For a 25 foot by nine foot six beam boat that is not dear at all ( actually with the pod it is 27feet six inches L.O.A.)….Compare the price of ANY 25 footer new or secondhand, you wont get near it . In fact there is a tidy profit to be made building a D25 if you so wish.
However, if it is to be a commercial venture I am willing to grant a licence for any interested parties should that be the case…contact details below!
The plans are available on CD rom ( you get the plans printed out at your local copy shop and the are two sheets of AO size paper ( about a metre square each) and that’s all you need . The full set of instructions book consisting seventy pages can be printed out as desired but isn’t necessary. AS a bonus over 200 colour photographs of the D25 build are included on the CD showing every stage of construction from start to finish and the price??
Well originally, I had envisaged a tag of around three hundred dollars for the plans ( I even quoted a few enquirers, remember?? ) but after all is said and done I have always been proud of bringing my boat plans to the readers of AABB very cheaply ( a great mag, eh?) so I am selling them initially for FIFTY FIVE DOLLARS ONLY !! as an introductory offer. You get a CD with full instructions ( seventy five pages) and a complete range of build photos, over 200 in all…..A bargain? You bet!
I’m not really sure how long I will keep them at this price so go to www.dolphinboatplans.com and there will be a free download study plan and more info there, just follow the links.
Any other enquiries please email arcus1@bigpond.com or telephone mobile 061414347874 ( Australia ) I can answer you queries.
Happy boating as always!
