i wonder why

That will do it.

Ship the Dart down my way; I was wearing shorts today.

So sad. I can't wait till it's all melted away and we can see that machine.

Just get a large space heater.

wasserbeck,

NE57,

Nice, my brother has a '69 in that same color with a 340 in it, but he lives in Texas so his isn't snow covered.

NE57. Didn't I talk with you over on BBD. You were putting a 392 in a Dart?

That was me. Another good site is forabodiesonly.com

I'm. on both also. Hows the build comming?

It goes slow. Have got the short block done, and the headwork done. Looking around now for an A727 and various rear end parts and front disc conversion.
The heads were a disappointment. The basket case motor came with the heads already done up with big valves(BBC). Trouble was and I didn't know it early on, the longer stems require Titan rockers or similar.. Lucky I had a spare set of heads that I had machined for stock size stainless valves.

So I figure with any luck I can start the swap in two months, should have the bulk of what I need by then. Oh, and the ground has to dry out some, no garage, gravel driveway, just to make it more interesting. I think I'll make a big plywood platform.

I ended up with a cracked head. Waiting for it to get back . i was looking at the aluminum heads Hot Heads sells,If i had the money I'd be tempted, sure would shave off some pounds. Things are going slow for me also.
