1967 Dodge Dart 270
Goal for the weekend is to get the engine up and running. Started the building the engine run stand with a bunch of wood we had out behind the outbuilding Thursday after work and made good headway on it today. Still have a bit to do such as set up the control panel and cut and place the transmission supports. Then it is on to mufflers, a jumper for the transmission cooling lines, wiring, hose clamps, fluids, and such. Intermediate shaft is out right now as I plan to prime the oil pump just before I start it. Hopefully all goes well and I will have a good run video by Sunday night. Want to get it as dialed in as I can before it goes in the car. It was bogging hard then the gas pedal was mashed. Not sure if it is a carb issue or if the exhaust was just full of mouse nest. We'll see. Oh yeah. Please don't mind the filthy, leaky transmission. That is next on the rebuild list. Kit got here today along with the new bearings for the alternator.
