I took the Dart for one last spin yesterday. Put some fuel stabilizer and fresh gas in the tank, then took her home and put her in her spot in the garage. Then I started tearing **** apart! I got everything torn off the top of the engine and will start underneath on Friday night after work. There's just something about working on a car in the garage, listening to the radio and drinking a cold beer or two. Here's a pic of the progress.
The plan is now to pull the engine on Sunday afternoon and immediately transfer it to it's new owner who's coming over with the cash. That money will go towards what I still owe the machine shop on the new engine. Until I can come up with the rest of that money, there is still plenty to do under the hood that won't cost me a ton. Lots of cleaning, sanding, taping etc...
