Slant 6 Turbo 68Dart Project

It started out as a single stage, but then i talked to car painter and he said since i was new to it, and that the only paint i had, to take the last coat and mix it 50/50 with clear and then shoot a couple clears over it. It adhered just fine, but he suggested it so that if i mess up i can polish it without toasting the metallic. It is a metallic. Viper Blue "pearl." This is the second time i shot the car. The first time i got the entire left side as a run and sag, and the rest of the car was a super bad orange peel. I sanded it all down with 220 and then back to 600 to reshoot. It didnt take much to cover since the car was then blue already. The polishing is because i got some weird texture in some spots on the clear. I have no idea what happened and no amount of spray gun tonkering or spray gun cleaning changed it. The rest of the clear layed fine but in a couple spots theres a truck bed liner (not quite that bad) feel to it. Im hoping to knock that down and polish it to save it. Id rather not have to sand and shoot again. Im planning on going super dull with some 2000 on it.

As for the engine, i started running out of money and didnt want the car to sit at my shop forever. I need to drive it. So i decided the ultimate slant six build i would make out of my 68 block and head, and that this 74 block would be just a really nice rebuild. Its been bored .040 over, new pistons and rings, crankshaft ground and polished, new timing chain, made a whole bunch of actual bent oil lines instead of hoses draped everywhere, a LOT of custom made bracketry that i cut from 1/8" and 1/4" aluminum. A lot of it for making the lokar ayatem work. It is the same 350 supersix setup, just cleaned up a lot better, with a better cut for adaptong to the 350. Instead of two holes oncthe intake its a huge oval. The exhaust was modified to have an adapter which mounts the turbo right up next to the motor. Ive already decided if the turbo doesnt clear the stwering box, im shimming the engine mounts on steel risers, and if it doesnt clear the hood. Im cutting the hood. Thats just how itll be. Lol.

So nothing super exciting as far as internal mods for the engine besides having an engine that will not spit oil from every crevice because it has massive blowby, and im going to give it 14psi and see what happens, and be able to have a nice driver while i build another block. I also took every piece off the engine and whatever fit in thr blast cabinet got blasted and restored. Everything is as nice as i could possibly make it and im happy with it. If it makes 250rwhp then thats great.
