'75 Swinger, The Dartness!

Well, Alright. I rebuilt the carb, and the dartness' been running great, gets 20mpg with what I'm certain is still a hurt transmission. Starts, runs, drives, happy.

Then, out of nowhere, on the way to work, it decided to eat either the #3 or #4 Rod bearing. :angry3: Limped it home, huffed and puffed for a bit, all angry-like, and then calmed down again. I KNEW I should've put bearings in it while I had it apart!!!! :mad:

And so it looks like my 318 build is going to be bumped up in its schedule :thumblef: Found a 318/727 combo out of a 67 belvedere and k-member out of a valiant on craigslist. Auto part store should have most everything else I'll need. only thing I'm not sure about is getting nickel and dimed to death on this... :|

Really want to avoid that.
