A Dodge!
Hi Again
Just couldn't really stick to my plan and wait until after summer working on the Dodge. Had to get my fingers into it.
Rebuilt the junkyard OEM disc brakes that came loose with the car. It was a night-mare to get the old pistons out of the calipers so had to use the old grease gun trick in the end. Right now it's all done though with new pistons, seals, stainless steel tubing, new discs, new wheel studs, new wheel bearings and seals and some paint. Just to box away until rest of car done.
Also couldn't keep my fingers away from the 360 that also came with the car. Needed to open up and see what I was dealing with. Looks like so far I'm a bit of lucky dog here. The engine must have been rebuilt at some point as so far everything inside has been in decent condition even though it looked like crap on outside. It is bored what I can measure 0.030 over and bores look decent. Havent taken crank out yet but with some more luck the only things I will need to do to the short block will be new pistons to get a decent compression rate and normal wear parts.
