SS Slant Six Dart

-
well i took the dart out to a nice one mile stretch near the house...

rolling start @ about 30mph rev to 6200 in first, nice shift and back up to 6200 into third, doing 120 after the 2-3 shift... less than a half mile i did it in to...

maybe she will be in the 14's even with a one legger...

my gf came out in the garage in the middle of the night lol...

and i just got the head back today...

they installed new hand honed bronze guides in both the int/exh.

they seem to think i might have leaned out on the top end of the track causing the exhaust valves to heat up and transfere...

so waiting on a head gasket and back together it goes!

Sweet build man! We gotta meet up sometime or something.
 
I am also in north phoenix.. Around happy valley and 67th ave.
 
You're less than a mile from me! I've seen your car at your house & was always curious. A /6? COOL! I always thought about doing one or perhaps an I-4 (found a killer Ford combo--that's another story)
