Project Cheap & Nasty is now a short block. New timing chain and new camshaft sprocket, but original used crank sprocket. Used stock cam and all. Used oil pump with big block high pressure sprAng. The rod bearings I had were for some kinda V8. There were 8 pairs and they were the wrong size, so the original rod bearings went back in. They weren't quite as bad as I thought, although one did have some pits.

So, Cheap & Nasty moves forward, however slowly. Got the manifold studs in the head, sealed with Permatex #2, so yall can argue about it. Got my rockers, shaft and hardware all cleaned up and sprayed down with Fluid Film. If you've not used Fluid Film yet, I highly recommend it.

those look way better than the ones that came off the engine
 
For those who would like to know... this engine sat in the 66 Dart we drug back from Washington state. It had sat in a field for at least 10 years with the spark plugs out on every cylinder and it arrived at said field with them already out. I will eventually edit up the video from us taking it apart.
 
Got the oil pump pickup screwed in, the oil pan painted from Hemi orange to green and my oil pan bolts soakin in purple stuff.
 
This is going on your valiant? What's up with the motor in there now? I thought that one was a pretty fresh build?

Not a thing. It's about three years old. It still runs great. I want to get my feet wet with a turbo motor, because I want to build something more substantial. I figure a cheap and nasty stone stock build with good used parts and little cash outlay would be the way to go.
 
Looking good, I'm looking forward to see how this performs, i have a performance cam and lifters for a 225 laying around I had contemplated selling which is left over from my sons previous Duster build but when it got wrecked he got a v8 one now but honestly watching this build has inspired me to hang on to it just in case I stumble across a 70,s to 80,s S/B 4spd P/U with a slant, hmmm......:popcorn:
