While not racing related, here's why the rear on my son's newly purchased '68 Dart was making noise... welded spider gears in the Sure Grip. Seller said it just needed clutches....caveat emptor. Its his favorrite paper weight now.

That head gasket looks like CRAP....the lower side is cut at a funny angle, all the fire rings are distorted (but that might be from whatever happened during your mishap).....Am I close?

edit: I just noticed the the "funny angle" is probably from the header in the pic :p
