sorry about that! Here is the stamp. Are they normally this messed up?

Here is the VIN stamp

1973 340 with cast crank and stock heads. Numbers in photos below. Pistons are .030 over. I have not pulled the rod or main caps. There are a couple of "repaired" cracks in the block (see photos) that had epoxy of some sort that prevented it from leaking too much for several years. I am...

Still available?

I am interested in the radio, faceplate and knobs if available.Working or not.

Do you still have the radio, knobs and faceplate?

Another question. Can anyone tell if these are HD valve springs or stock?

I pulled the cam and as mentioned before, it is toast. Only one lifter and lobe are damaged. Below is a picture of the lifter. The rest of the cam looks new. Before I drop in a new cam do any of you have suggestions as to the cause of this problem? I don't want to waste a new cam!

I am also looking to put a floor shifter in a 72 Swinger with a bench. Two reasons; I like the bench and my car is a 6 to V8 swap and the column linkage does't work right. Any suggestions for shifter brand or part number. Trans is a 727. Thanks

I am very interested in a runner. That's why we bought this car. Cam and lifters, a good oil flush and we will see what happens. I will keep everyone posted.

Damn. I am thinking about sireland67's approach. Slap a cam and lifters in it and see what happens. I am going to try doing a little mig welder buildup on the manifold...got nothing to lose. Keep it cool and build it up slowly. No water in the oil (I know what that looks like) but like I said...

Thanks for all the info. Very helpful. Today I pulled the intake and found 3 not-so-nice surprises... 1. The cam is wasted. Must not have been lubricated properly on startup. One of the lobes looks like someone took a grinder to it. 2. There is a significant chip in the manifold between...

I did a vacuum leak test with propane but it is running so rough, it was tough to get a read. Same with shorting out one plug at a time. I am thinking a vac leak in the valley. It has a new distributor, pertronix CH-181. Heads are redone with what looks like new HD valve springs and a new HD...

Pulling the manifold next to check for vac leaks. We figured out the timing marks after posting but thanks. All is correct. Tony, As far as timing, I have the Vacuum advance disconnected but not really an issue since only 5 inches of vac. Not sure if the mechanical is kicking in since I...

We just bought a 72 Dart "project car". We appreciate this forum and have used it a lot already. Sorry for the long post! First some history as I know it. The motor was transplanted out of a 73. The car was originally a 6 cyl. The project was never finished by the person I bought it from and...
