Just my two cents, but if you are hell bent on keeping the 3.9 then I would put some KB pistons to get some compression, have a good valve job and bowl cleanup done, and regrind the cam.
No sir I appreciate old cars like that. What I don't like is seeing something that someone spent a lot of money on to have "restored" and my knowing they got screwed on the deal and they have no idea.
I would much rather buy a car that hasn't been worked on then one that has had a bunch of...
That stuff sticks out like a sore thumb to me. They came from the factory that way a lot of the time though.
Even worse that the misaligned panels to me is all the sand scratches, crap body work, and half azzed paint jobs.
That said, I keep my trap shut, unless I am paid to do an appraisal of...
In addition to the engine comments, the mopar restoration Nazis are damn near unbearable.
Yes, I know my car isn't a numbers matching restoration. Move along if that bothers you. I don't need yet another asshole stopping by to tell me what they think I did wrong.
