What are they asking for the X's? What are you wanting to do with your car?

Everyone is gonna chime in and tell ya that eddy or other aluminum heads are better than any stock cast iron head, and much lighter. Porting helps any stock head.

^^This^^

It wouldn't be a total loss.....scrap iron is selling for $200 a ton here.......

I must be the luckiest person on the planet! Back in the "bad old days" we street raced and ran the hell out of mud trucks with "dirt road rebuilds" all the time. These were our daily drivers as well! My friends and I had piles of core engines and would rob a rod out of one if we needed to...

Check Lisle or KD tools.

The material most likely got shaved off the bearings when the cam was slid in on the initial installation.

Mine is a stock rebuild (rings, bearings, timing set) on an 80k mile std. bore block, with X heads and a mild cam. It's dressed like the original commando engine my car came with.

X2. With the shortblock at 160k miles you would have it back apart shortly. The exhaust choices are limited to the 273 manifolds or expensive headers. The most logical bore would be .030 over.

Any sign of water in your oil?

Did we mention clean?

That^^

Standing in front of the car, look just below the cyl head on your right.

Ballpark of 120 range for a 2bbl 273, maybe 150+ on a commando. The big deal is not having any cyls. read lower than the rest. Do yer comp. test with all plugs out.

Just about anything that bolts to the engine would have a lock washer on it. No need for Locktite inside the motor, just proper torque.

Yup, ridge reamer. Just don't try to take too much at once.

Kool! Now let's see a vid of it running! :cheers:

I've wondered about the rhodes lifters for years. How annoying is the tick?

Is there water/moisture inside the distributor around or on the points and condenser? It doesn't take much to ground it out.

Do you have 12V to the coil?

Exhaust can be a headache.....

Mine are both stove pipes, but the wire loom "tabs" are missing.

I heard of comet and bon ami for seating rings back in the 70's when I worked in my family's auto parts store. Dad was a factory rep for sealed power in the 60's and early 70's and would cringe when he heard of someone doing this. The only explanation we could come up with was that the cylinder...

Intermediate shaft bushing??

Back in the 80's I bought a 72 challenger for $400 because of low oil pressure. Changed the timing set and pulled the pan and cleaned the pickup and everything was fine.
