67 Dart 270...Project Old School

I got the roller cam installed and degreed. I was amazed at how accurate the Coyes timing chain is.


Here is the piston at TDC and you can see piston is a mile below the deck...well .088" at least.


When I calculated the compression for the stock setup I came up with 7.7:1 compression. Sad.... Oh well, here I am prepping to paint the EQ heads.


Here is what they look like after they are painted red. I tried to match to factory red for a 273.


The color matches the air cleaner sticker for a 273 Commando engine. It should like like this when I am done.


Back to scraping 30 year old head gasket residue off the decks....
