66 Dart GT HT Whatsitgonnabe?
Well, why take the easy road? :D
I rigged a horizontal grinder in my basement in stead of finding a machine shop. Worked pretty well but I assumed the bench was flat which it wasn't. It was pretty good but in one area it was tightened down to a support beam underneath.
So after the first run I ended up pretty much where I started, the middle portion about 1 mm off. Turned things around a little and re-did the #7 and boom! On the money!
Mounted it to the car and started her up. A LOT worse than before! :D I think I took so much off that the bend on the manifold that goes around the steering column interferes with the block or the cylinder head. I'll look into it tomorrow.
I did get a taste of what the engine would sound like with open headers, though. Not too shabby. :D
