''I'm going to fix it up someday'' The resurrection of a '74 Dart Sport......
So we proceeded to have the heads cleaned up and the valves ground, the guides were all good if you can believe that, the surface on the heads were straight and flat still as well as the decks, shecked for cracks and found none, had all of the tin and hard parts cleaned up at the machine shop as well.
We went to work cleaning the inside of the engine and all of the water passages. We found 3 frost plugs and 2 old block heaters in there that we had to remove!
In went the 474 lift purple shaft cam and double roller timing chain set we had laying around, all new brass frost plugs, block heater, water pump, and all new gaskets and seals.
Also had a Weiand 4 barrel aluminum intake that i got a few years ago, cleaned it up and installed it.
