Bought a 69 383 Charger with a wore out cam and messed up timing chain Replaced all and valve job, The car ran its $sss off after that.

Nice!

I'm just trying to rule out any other major work on this thing. I can pick it up for a grand and it's got all the goodies on it I want for a beater...

it's a gm though.. and valves jobs on those things are a b$tch...but to beat the snot out of could be fun :)
