My 69 Dart "AKA" The Blue Mutt

only thing I did to the heads was cut the seats down to work properly with the new valve springs, wasn't something I wanted to do but once your in the rabbit hole you either go all the way through or get out best you can - part of my effort has also been to challenge myself as well as adding to the list of things I actually did to MY car vs. having to pay someone else, each car I have had I add something new to my list, gaining more knowledge always a good thing, sometimes painful and costly though. I have run my theoretical numbers on a few internet websites, horsepower should be at least in the 400 range, maybe, heads are the biggest downfall for numbers overall, I didn't check their flow or combustion volume or have it checked, if all goes well I will either get some aluminums later on or have a set of X or J heads modified, with the domed pistons I have Im not sure if I can go aluminum without work because most have small combustion chambers that don't seem suitable for the high compression pistons I have - more rabbit hole - I originally wanted to be back running by March this year at the latest, my new goal is now May - starting to feel a little pressure in getting ready for Hot August Nights again, if things don't pick up Im gonna get back to my Mustang so I can at least take a car this year, only need to change the manifold on it, no rabbit hole either - watch your bank account closely, it is a major killer of projects everywhere and can cause a lot of other problems when you and the family look at a 3000 pound dead object sitting in the garage that you walk by everyday, luckily my garage is detached LOL - if I were you I would let things go for a while except for the A/C, Vegas will be hot soon, with or without the corona virus and it will be nicer going to get them slurpees with the kiddos

The ac is an expensive rabbit hole... but you're right it is something I should get done.

I love hot August nights i wish i could go .
