LOOKING FOR ADVICE

Thanks again for all the responses. I should also mention that this time around the Dart won't be my primary driver. I bought my wife a nice suv for the family 2 years ago and i have an older pickup to get me back and forth. So if it took me a couple weeks to knock out a small project its no big deal. I would use the Dart just for whenever i want. It was a great stress reliever just to drive the car to work on a saturday or take my son for a ride to pick-up food, that type of thing. AJ is propably right i should just sell and find something better but i do have sentimental value with it and one condition of me buying it back was my wife said " your are not selling it this time, i don't want to hear it". So the Dart is here to stay. Sounds kinda stupid but it seems like i was meant for the car, because even after i sold it i was able to keep up with it for awhile through craigslist , and saw it on FABO. The car never left more than an hour from my house. I think im going to put the slant back together, see how it runs and go from there. Don't know why previous owner pulled the head, so ill see how that goes.( I didn't care because i was going to put v8) Keep collecting parts for the swap , repair floor pans, that type of stuff. Once again thanks for all the great advise and different perspectives.
