New guy from Hungary

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

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

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??

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

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

Wellcome and greetings from Finland !

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.
