OK, I am at the stage of my restoration when its time for the motor. I was getting ready to re-install the motor when my Dad brought up a good point. The motor has been sitting around for about 10 years without being started. The motor was running good when pulled from the car, but has been sitting ever since. Some worries are, valve springs losing tension due to sitting in one position that long, dried out seals, etc... The last thing I want to worry about is getting the motor reinstalled and have it let go right away. I am thinking about going ahead and having it rebuilt. I plan to call my engine builder tomorrow for some quotes/ideas, but wanted suggestions from you guys on some build ideas as well. It is pretty much a stock 340 with a schneider custom grind street cam in her, full MSD ignition and an eddy air gap intake. I am not looking to go crazy here as I am not draggin this thing, but I still want a mean sounding mopar that turns heads. It has 48,000mi on the motor since it was last rebuilt. Thanks in advance guys! Here are some pics of it right now.
