All,
after being on my first outing my 1963 has a broken engine bearing and I have decided at this point to do a full engine remanufacture.
Do you have any experience or recommendations for Remanufacturers?
So far I have been in contact with Jasper's.
I am in Charlotte, NC.
Thanks
Daniela

I had a customer come from Tennessee and pick up a rear end from me this week and we got to talking and he said he had had his engine rebuilt by Jasper a few years and a few thousand miles ago. My ears popped up since I had just read some negative stuff here about them and asked my customer how it went and he said "The car is running fine, not leaking or any issues." I told him well I guess you cannot ask for more than that.
This is one sample out of probably hundreds of engines they have rebuilt. It does not confirm they are good or bad overall ... but just thought I would share. I think they have picked up engines from me in the past when I might have 4 to 6 laying around, but that has been some time back. I had no issue with then and remember they paid a fair price for the engines. Just thought I would pass this along. If I considered them as a source for a rebuilt engines I would want to get many references, and some recent references with our 390's and 429's.
Daniela, If no one has a suggestion or reference you might try contacting EGGE Auto Parts. They are a known source for quality engine rebuild parts and think they would be a prominent supplier for quality rebuilders. You might ask them for recommendations. Parts would likely be sourced from them so that would be a win-win for both of you.
Here is there contact info:
EGGE Machine Company - www.egge.com
Pistons, Eng. Rebuild Parts
11707 Slauson Ave, Sante Fe Springs CA 90670
800-866-EGGE, www.egge.com
Also since you are in Charlotte area, home to NASCAR and engine rebuilders, maybe Travis from the Carolina Region can provide some reference. I have no one I would recommend in the Raleigh, NC area, not to mention it is 2.5 hrs away from you.
Daniela, my son had an engine rebuilt by Beal Racing Engines in Thomasville, NC. Even though they specialize in racing engines, they do work on most anything. My son had a Pontiac 455 engine rebuilt, and some enhancements to it for more hp, but nothing radical. They can probably rebuild/repair any engine. Their website is https://www.bealracingengines.com/ It might be worth a call to them to see what they can do for your engine.

While checking my Carter carb with engine running, I took the air cleaner off and there was a very loud hissing sound of air. I placed a piece of paper over the carb and it didn’t move up or down, is this normal?

Hey everyone, has anybody done a Vintage Air AC/Heat setup in their car? I want to bypass the old vacuum setup and go with a Vintage Air Gen 2 model. Before I get started, does anyone have any experience with this? (Which model to go with, do’s and dont’s, etc.) It looks pretty involved. Any and all info/pics would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I would prefer to be as original as possible. Thanks

My son, unbeknownst to me, had all three of the horns on our 1963 Eldorado completely restored. We had recently added the Eldorado trumpet horn to the two standard horns and the sound was not very good... we had heard good ones so we knew something was not right... but there was not much we could do to get better sound from the 3 horns.
There is a restoration service called The Horn Works who my son…
