Start of a Dart
The Great White Ghost is moving forward nicely. The block and head were dropped off at the machine shop last week and I think (hahaha) I have all the parts I need to get it going again. I was hoping to get by with new rings and bearings but it needs bored .030 and a touch-up on the valves.
This was one grubby little pig so EVERYTHING has had a date with the pressure washer trying to get the 40 years of untouched grime off. The trans is ready for a reseal session, and the rest of the goodies are getting painted today while it's still sunny. Slow progress but it will make for faster assembly when I get the block and head back. Next up, washing all the smaller parts, wirewheeling all the fasteners, and rebuilding the carb. The head and both manifolds will get a little porting love this week.
