My 74 Dart (The Bondo Bucket)
I was able to pick up a Hemi longblock for cheap. It’s a truck engine that had a camshaft failure. Customer decided to put in a new engine so I was able to get the old core engine. Engine was still in great shape - cylinder walls and camshaft bearings look good. My son and I did some cleaning and painting on the block and timing cover. This being a core meant I had to come up with a lot of missing parts. I decided to go with the truck timing cover and accessories due to them being a little cheaper and to give me more room for the alternator.
