67/68/69 cuda dilemma
Going to mod the torsion bar crossmember and make a trans mount for the O/D trans before I put the floor pan in. Got the block mocked up for this. When I took the 318 short block apart the #2 and #4 mains were shot, crank was trashed, plus it was already .020" under. My buddy who gave me the "free eighteen" , sold me a forged 340 crank fresh cut .010" on the mains and .020" on the rods for $100. Damn near a gift. I will be taking the rotating assembly to my machinest to get it balanced. Then when I'm done mocking up the trans mount, I will pull the block back out and take it to him for hot tanking, boring, and decking.
