Sorry guys, went to the Turkey Run this weekend and just been busy. I'm still interested but at this very moment I'm speaking with Charlie S and seeing how things go there. So not terribly soon 75slant.

Automatic trans by the way lol

I took the valve cover off and played around, no movement in anything there. Zero play. I agree that at this point the motor will 80% chance need to be rebuilt. That's a problem in my area as there aren't many mechanics who can work on slant 6s and even less of this age.

T Florida. The country near Gainesville

So right around $200 for shipping. Not that horrible I guess

I wonder how something like that could be shipped? Or if it would be worth the effort we'd put in? Obviously the car would be

What if I bought someone's tranny/engine together?

I recently purchased a 66 Dart with the 225 "charger" slant 6 under the hood. I purchased it because it is very complete and the former owner was a((Is a)) marine. As a young vet myself and this being the first car my dad ever let me "drive"((say in his lap and pretended to drive)). I grabbed...

By the way, the car is holding good looking oil ((for its age)) so I wouldn't think the lower bearings would be seized. The radiator fluid was pretty and green. The transmission dipstick is missing sadly and my trucks dipstick is straight and long and therefore won't make the curve in order to...

Okay so today after the MMO, wd40, and liquid wrench have sat in the engine for 4 days I once again attempted to get the crank to turn a bit using a breaker bar. It didn't even budge. The entire car is rocking but it's not budging at all. I lifted the rear end and got I on blocks. Put the car...

Thanks Rod! I've contemplated going there and trying that. Question, we all know many of these didn't come with the crank bolt. So, I stacked a washer behind the bolt yesterday along with a smaller one above it, after really cranking down on it the crank still had not moved but the smaller...

Trying to find someone with some tips on unlocking the motor. Wrote all of the specs in my intro/resto brother. Thanks everyone! Glad to be here
