1972 Canadian H-Code 340 Dart Swinger Special Resto - Finally started!
Found some time today to keep working on my engine, after removing the pan that was on the replacement block that my car came with I discovered a clue that if this was the pan that was on my numbers 340 I can maybe give up the search for it, lol!
Looks like a connecting rod or two went a-wall and ***** slapped both sides of the block and the oil pan and then Homer hot glued it all up with some large brass puddles. I decided my time is free so I'd just cut out this mess and straighten this out and fix with some steel and reuse this pan,
Just need to remove the paint off the pan and clean up a few dings and I think thats the last part that needed stripping so should be able to start putting the engine all back together then get it painted.
