Just a note: Finally got Dolores (my 61 Desoto 4 Dr HT) running with her new motor "383" Man does she ever sound strong now!!!, bored .030 over Mopar Performance Repro 383 roadrunner purple shaft, Edelbrock 600CFM 4 bbl, windage tray, and correct oil pan graciously donated by Rich Washburn (God bless you Rich!!!), this 383 transplant has been truly a labor of love (and trial of my spirit!) but has finally paid off. I want to thank everyone on the list that offered to provide me with a correct oil pan, this sense of camaraderie is what makes this list such a valuable asset to the preservation of our finned family members!!!, I hope to be able to get my car to Dallas TX. by Thurs/Fri this week to get it loaded up on a boat to Okinawa Japan, (gonna be the only 61 Desoto in Japan!!) What a sight she will be motoring amongst the little Japanese cars (97 Viper Red w/pearl white top, dual antennas frenched into the fins) Truly a traffic stopper. Thanks for everyones help!!! Desotoly Yours J.S. Trudeau
