Let's get this slant turbo project started. 71 Dart
Yes, as a matter of fact we were talking about it that morning before we found the slashed tires.
Bad economy and section 8 housing in this town. Basically the city opened it's doors for section eight housing and people moved from the worst part of the county to here. This community of about 100,000 is now in the top 100 most violent cities in the country. We have seven on duty police per shift and they can't or don't do much enforcement.
On another note I just scored a double roller timing chain and the over size valves from engine builder on ebay. :cheers:
Sounds like a good place to be from... as in "away from."
I retired from 24 years at the SF Chronicle in 2004 and moved back to my native state of Arkansas and bought this new, brick, 1,650-sq. ft. house for $131,000.00, a $350,000.00 (or, so) house in Kalifornia. No car smog inspections,ever on any vehicle; you buy an antique plate for your 25-year-old car ONCE (I think it was $17.00, when I bought it in 2004) and never have to pay for licence again, run dual exhaust legally on any car, no front licence plate...
No traffic problems ("rush hour" doesn't exist,) and Hickory-smoke pork barbeque restaurants are everywhere...! :)
It isn't the perfect place to live, but it's a hell of a lot better than the Bay Area.
At least, I haven't had my tires slashed, recently...
Glad to hear you're making progress on acquiring parts for the engine! Those oversize valves will help, I'd bet, even if you don't do a full port job on the head.
Keep at it; you'll get there!:cheers:
