63 Dodge Dart, now let me see;)
Sweet! Looks like an '81-up hydraulic lifter slant 6?! I used to have one of those and here are a few tips: No one makes these valve covers (different shape/ bolt pattern), so be sure to not overtorque them. When getting valve cover gaskets and spark plugs (no spark plug tubes!) tell the store it's a 1983 Dodge D150. I was told you could bolt on a pre-72 (?!) head and still use the hydraulic lifters/ rockers. The only advantage would be to make it look period correct and you could get new valve covers for it.
Wow, it's been really HOT~ 106 in my tall garage! I did what I could, today played with my new to me slant six. I wanted to get it mounted on my engine stand, and I did.
This lift plate from an Ebay seller is great, made for the slantsView attachment 1716268534
Just curious what this system weighs
Always fun to stand back like an artist and imagine the finished product;)
