273 302 318 340 build
Tried to run numbers off the block to find out more specifics. Best I can tell so far is that it is a 70 model year, with a build date of May 15 1970 and was built in Hamtramck.
I'll flip thru 70 Plymouth service manual for specs. I would imagine the Dodge specs would be the same for the same model year.
I dug out my drum and sanding rolls rolls I bought a while back to see what grit they were. 80 and 120 on drum rolls and 80 on flap rolls. Got lots if anyone needs some lol.
Chased all of the threads in the bare block today. No issues. Used lard on the taps, read somewhere its good for tapping and cheaper than oil.
Gotta pick up a bottom end gasket kit(oil pan, front and rear main seals). Not sure what make yet. Probably go Felpro for oil pan, any perference for front and rear seals?
3 pipe plugs at back end look like new installs with sealant.Loctite maybe? Its red
1 pipe plug below distributor hole new install as well.
Am I missing any?
Baby steps, but its still progress lol
Thanks
Steve
