Why not just take it to a reputable shop and it built with a warranty? I see a lot of folks try and save a few bucks and they end up spending the same more money in the long run. My experience is, there is not one kit that you can buy that has everything you need.
I’m looking to find the correct inner shaft steering column for my my 67’ Dart. It is a power steering car. Does anybody know where to buy a correct new one?
I bought a 68 complete standard bore for $1,000.00 two weeks ago. Haven’t torn it down, but like the earlier comments, it probably needs to be machined and new pistons. So I would say $800-$1500.
Opened them up to 2.05 from 2.02. Block has been bored .30 over. The rotating assembly is pretty well stock. 10.8 compression. It really likes the 96-98 octane fuel. Has good street manors too. I didn’t go with aluminum heads, cause I wanted to keep it as period correct as possible.
I’m running this cam in my 340. It has stock rotating assembly with J heads like yours. Running Air Gap intake and 750 Holley carbrator. Engine made 438 hp on dyno at machine shop.
Just cut them off is the easy answer. Don’t over complicate it for yourself. Just use a chop saw and run water on it while you are cutting the axle. Measure twice and cut once.
