slant daily driver buildup

I have 2 74 darts one was a DD for 2 years and now is a summer project/driver the other is currently my summer driver both are 225 slant sixes go with either the 73 motor or do a compression test on it and put the head from the 73 on the other motor will give you the hardened valve seats without all the extra work you can get a complete gasket set of e-bay for about 20$ just did it one one of my cars because of bad valves shouldn't take very long I would also think about swapping the exhaust manifold a little bit of a pain but will give you a place to put an automatic choke then I would also change the distrubotor and add the electronic ignition parts. I really don't care for the pre 74 carbs I find they don't tune as nice but that is up to you holley 1945's are a nice cheap carb and work great my factory 74 has a ton of power and it is all original without any rebuilds or mods if you have money or time with tools then rebuild if not everything I said should cost less then 100$ but you should also buy a new starter, alternator, control module, ballast, coil, cap, rotor, wires and plugs but I'm sure you already know that control module is the biggy for me I got stranded once over that
