So... my odds... just aren't good without an overhaul of at least the head.... more than likely the entire engine if I find rust has spread through the internal workings of the head? Because it's probably gone everywhere like a cancer ?

I'll check for more rust. I work 12 hour nights but only 3 days one week and 4 the other so I'll be back out there Wednesday to check out the motor again. I sprayed everything down with penetrating catalyst and spray lubricants and oil hoping to free some stuff up a bit by letting it soak...

And I can figure out why they would of put carb back on like that

Ah I didn't think of that. Figured they hit a rock... maybe someone did use the tank to Jack the car up lol. The valve cover was on tight when I took it off .... but thinking back I don't remember seeing a crumbling 2 decade old gasket anywhere on there. Maybe it's been off before and left...

This being my first mopar build... I've had to learn alot of new stuff. It's all familiar but different.

Every project I tend to get in over my head. But then I learn new things and am better for the next project. I wish I had more knowledge faster so Id have more skills faster and could get my projects done faster, better and cooler.

The world is just going crazy lol

I've been doing research and it seems this engine can be amazingly fast with. Turbo set up. I've got some diesel tech buddies who deal with turbos alot that talked me into looking into it when I bought the dart project. My current slant 6 is well... she needs rebuilt or replaced. Assuming I...

I'm searching for a good shape running slant 6 engine pre 1976. Thanks. PM me for questions etc. I just need a good solid running one.

Interesting

Thanks lol I need to relocate that oil filter eventually. I don't like that spot. Hopefully there is a kit for that

The down side for me is that no one my age is building these things anymore... they like imports or modern muscle and I'm usually on my own. My dad still comes out to school me every now and then cuz he always knows tricks to do stuff simple and easy after he let's me struggle for 3 hours lol...

Some pics of head... gas tank swap and car when I bought it

I'd like to keep the slant 6. I'm got some diesel tech buddies who want to help me turbo it when I get a reman motor with forged pistons etc. I just hoped I could make the original motor run and drive even if it was s little smoky and slow so it wouldn't just be sitting til I build another...

That's what I'm worried about is a piston slapped it. Or some other unknown damage... if I could get it going with a head rebuild I'd be happy.

That's a nice price... interesting

Alright guys, talked it over with my dad. As said in my first post.... normally GM cars and trucks are our projects .... so the way I see it I have two real options to fix this... I can pull the motor and rebuild myself which hopefully is cheaper but I will have a heck of alot to learn about...

You guys are great. I wouldn't of thought to check valves for a while longer

Rods bent... oil hasn't circulated up into valve cover either

You guys were right about the valves .. geniuses

Can't upload photo .... not rockers are loose. #1 works #2 exhaust stuck #3 both stuck. #4 intake stuck. #5 works #6 both stuck. By stuck I mean rockers loose.... not touching pushed. It's freakish hot here so plz excuse misuse of words lol

So I'm essentially looking to see if every valve moves up and down properly ?

Im going to pull the valve cover now and check those. No idea if it ran when parked. I assume the dented gas tank and hole in it is what parked it in 1994.

I've confirmed the distributer is in correctly. When at tdc on compression stroke I'm facing the number 1 spot on the rotor

Did compression test number 1 cylinder now. Got 35 psi there... I'm gonna check the rest. Have 6 volts to coil... I think I'm good now electric wise. I was trying to Check for tdc to make sure distributer is in right but I can't hear anything manually turning over motor and finger isn't...

Compression on number 2 cylinder is less than 20... :/.....
