2 FE motors in the same week?!!? :willy: Very cool. :thumbsup:

Seriously, I'd get your deposit back from Keisler. Go T56 Magnum. Or anything but something from Keisler. :rolleyes:

Is there anything bad with RS600?
I give them a chance and wait 1 more month then I get back the deposit.

That CJ should work unless you get more radical with the suspension.
I think also that this 428 should be enough for now.
I bought that 429CJ engine from a wrecked motorhome. The seller did not know anything about this engine.
When I took apart I was really surprised on what I found.
These 429CJ 4 bolts are pretty rare engines.
According to the Marti report it was in a 71 Non Ram air Torino. What the h... it was doing in a wrecked '79 motorhome in Hungary??:lol:

I don't know but it's sad that it no longer sits in its 71 birthplace.

You aren't the only one who ordered and can't get their RS. It could end up being a good product but for now it is unproven and since their delivery is unreliable I would worry about warranty and parts if you ever have a problem.
I may be wrong but I don't think Hungary is the mecca of musclecar parts so going with a proven and more common product like the T56 would benefit you more than someone like myself here in the US.

I look forward to further progress on the second FE of this week :thumbsup:

You are absolutely right about the RS.
And yes Hungary is not at all Mecca of musclecar parts:lol:
Everything cost me almost double with shipping and tax:(

Welcome!

I have to ask, why do you have an Imperial German War Ensign (Reichskriegsflagge) and a Confederate Battle Flag on your garage wall?

This is not my garage.
I took the car over there beacause one of the guy in that shop is a very good welder and I need the subframe connector to be welded in and I am thinking on mini tub.
I also asked about these flags. This is only for decoration purposes, because It looks cool they said. Nothing special behind it.;)

Ah... well, he probably has his reasons (and I have my suspicions), but to each their own!

Again, welcome to the site! Looking forward to seeing more of your project.
