Slant 6 Turbo 68Dart Project
Sorry It's been a while guys. One of the jobs I took I worked a month on, remodeled an entire restaurant for this lady, and that was in November, and she hadn't paid at all. That set me back into using my only funds on rent and basic necessities so the internet had to take a backseat. Now I'm back up and running, the lady is paying me off in a shitty payment plan, but at least it's better than nothing.
On a good note, it's 6:30am on a Saturday. I'm awake because I made a phone call to a craigslist ad last night about a rebuilt (possibly) slant with a torqueflite attached to it for $300. Owner bought a 1940s truck with the slant retromodded into it and it had a info sheet stating "slant 6 overhauled after removal from 1974 Duster." At that point it was never fired. So I have my fingers crossed he shows up at my shop at 8am and I can unload it with one of the forklifts onto my oversized engine stand, put a tarp on it, and get to it when the sun comes out. There's no room in the shop for it till we finish varnishing a boat. Then it can go inside. The plan is to take the head off and see if it truly was rebuilt. If I see new pistons and cleanish-looking bores I'll be alright with that. I'll still be swapping a few parts either way, like the cam, etc... but I'm hoping to see what kind of info is available on it.
