Well I've taken a break from the dart for a week or so, I was able to take the car down the street a couple of times, this thing will be fun! Unfortunately my slapped together used parts engine is proving troublesome again, as I developed a loud lifter tick on the passenger side. Pulled the valve cover and the rear intake pushrod is loose, looks like a collapsed lifter. Being that you have to pull the head to get lifters out, it will be quite a job in the car. I think I will just move forward with the car for a while, as I am kind of tired of it being apart. I may keep my eyes peeled for a running truck hemi and just throw it in, they pop up on craigslist every once in a while for a grand or so, and then I can give this engine a real build! It sucks, but swapping engines is a weekend job and for the 500 bucks or so that I have in the ticking engine, it doesn't owe me anything. At least I dot have to push it around the shop anymore!
