1969 Race Dart w/ 426 Hemi- garaged for 45+ years

I'm lovin. it...... and you are likely right in my back yard (I live in Bowling Green, OH) too. Love to meet the guys that have been there / done that....and ain't finished yet.

Side bar..... (our/ my buddy) Joe Pappas crew chiefed for Fons (71-72) and this Rod Shop Challenger before he worked for Don Carlton in 1973 on The Mopar Missile team. It was a natural because Fons was married (at the time) to Joes sister.
I didn't comment here to hijack his restoration. I just wanted an answer as to how that cr was achieved. There numerous ways to get it and I was curious about 12-1 pistons coming out to 10.93 cr. My 3 engines are all over the place from 426 w/9-1, 426 w/10-1/4 or about and 478 w/10.92 using mopar .030 9-1/2 pistons.

but I will say more about local stories later on.
