Hi im new here.. Im 31 i live near kansas City mo.
Ive been workin on cars since about 6 years old. Started with old school cars with my dad.. Then when i was 15 i got a 99gsx miti eclipse swaped a evo enginei it..went heavy into the tuners.. (Still am) i have a rhd 94 Toyota celica 1jz turbo. (2jz id had had to push the firewall back more.and wasnt getting into that since its already rhd imported.)

I just recently acquired a 1968 cuda with a 340 in it.. Im wanting to do a.complete tear down and rebuild.. But im havin trouble finding any diys on it.
I tried searching a bit here but couldn't find anything.
I know how to tear it down by just getting into it. But wold like something to go over so i know what to watch out for. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Take good pictures of every stage of the tear down, especially before you clean up any of the survaces in case you need to go back and see the witness marks later to check for any issues...

I’m in Overland Park not too far from you. I have done a fair amount of stuff on my 69.
 
I thought all '94 Celicas were transverse 4cyl and we're FWD or AWD?! Kinda hard to put a inline 1J/2J six in there...

And a '99 GSX would've already had a 4G63, why the Evo swap?!
