Engine Decode?
Thanks for the info Mark. I bought this motor in the summer of 09 and it was supposed to be a good runner out of a 76 Valiant 4 door. I finally got around to tearing the heads and intake off the other day and was quite happy at how clean it really is inside. One thing that surprised me is the pistons are flat tops. I don't think the motor's ever been apart and being from the mid 70's I was expecting to see some kind of dished piston to keep the compression ratio down. Now I've never worked on a Mopar until I bought my 65 Cuda and they seem to have quite a few differences from all the GM's I've been playing with for years. This old dog just has to learn some new tricks I guess. The plan for now is to put a mild cam and a 4 bbl on it, new gaskets, paint it, and stuff it in the Cuda and see how it goes.
