1962 Lancer project...Bringing it back to life...

I agree with 64mopar, unless you stood on a breaker bar. Is the engine a 170 or 225? Just wondering, parts are mostly the same, but push rods for 170 are shorter. Be careful around the heater box, they get fragile after 60 years.
It's a 170...thanks for the advice...I got the head off tonight and taking it to the machine shop tomorrow...everything else looks good to be setting up for so long I think.
