10phone2 Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 My mom arrived today with my daughter from Hawaii for the summer. I was wondering why one of her carry on luggage was heavy. Of coarse I managed to drop the fucker on my foot. She mentioned it was one of the last things I left in the garage before I left for Ohio, besides my laser. I didn't know what it was and started to unpack it. http://i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc510/chrisj011/mx32%20work/mopar2_zpsf890d5aa.jpg I vaguely remember her asking about a cylinder head years ago and wanted to toss it. Low and behold she put it in a carry on suit case and lugged it all the way from Hawaii http://i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc510/chrisj011/mx32%20work/mopar_zps23b05fa4.jpg It's basically a 655 head which was a FWD mopar head from the 80's that has bigger valve bowls and big port cc's when compared to the turbo heads. I bought it off a Chrysler engineer 7-9 years ago new in the box from the factory and has never had valves installed. I moved on from FWD mopar's and just left the head in the garage. I intended it to be a back up head that I built while I get my GLHS back on the road. I'm still scratching my head as to how she made it to Ohio with this as a carry on without even a word from TSA.

10phone2 Posted May 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 yes the lack of nice weather sucks but it has worked out. Sometimes you have to move past who you were in order to find out who you want to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spectragod Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 I'm still scratching my head as to how she made it to Ohio with this as a carry on without even a word from TSA. It's simple..............she told them she had a head in the bag, who wants to search that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fubar231 Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 Crazy she lugged that all the way here for you, how much does it weigh? But of course a mom would do anything for her son. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10phone2 Posted May 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 The head weighs 24 pounds approximately. It technically was under the max weight and met the size requirements. I guess she has been waiting for her to get bumped up to 1st class, free carry on, and not needing the extra bag for over a year now. A pocket knife is crossing the line, but a 25 pound chunk of metal and/or bowling ball is fair game... go figure. Considering she lugged the dam thing all the way from Hawaii I can't sell it. I could just slowly start working on the head and go from there a few years from now after my current shit mess project is done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
