New guy from Chicago, 1969 Dart 340 Swinger

black954 said

Damn, that's a nasty Dart for sure. I'm up in Wheaton, about 35 miles NW of Orland Park. I will look you up for sure when it comes time to build the 340. I want a pretty nasty high reving small block so it will be a very tedious engine build.

Ok, let me know if you need any help... I've built many small blocks, including 340's... You can ask Eddie as a reference...

Eddie never built an engine before and I walked him through it... He was right there with me turning wrenches to build his own engine... We double checked all the bolt torques to make sure we didn't leave any loose ones... He enjoyed building it so much that he wants to build another one...

Here's a few pics from our build:
