Hey bartender!

I cant imagine racing a 64 Polara 4 door with a Two BBl poly. Unless racing snails.
My '64 Fury 4 dr with that engine topped out at 126 mph. Pretty foolish of me but I was in my early 20's.
Lucky dog!

He must already have a pizza!
I quit asking for that long ago. More chance in winning the lottery and I don't even play!
I asked for Cedar Ridge Bourbon and a Distilling book instead.

You have exquisite taste! I'm hoping the next door neighbor can hook me up!I quit asking for that long ago. More chance in winning the lottery and I don't even play!
That sucks
Actually, according to Alpar , the 64 polara curb weight is 3389 and a 74 dart swinger curb weight is 3263, both 318s
Thus the Popmobile!
I had a 65 Dodge and she could hold her own being stock.

Mike doesn't have a 74 Dart and that curb weight for the Polara isn't the 318 sedan. The sedan weighs in at just under 3500 lbs.
Poly stroker:
Report is acl done for season.
Ouch
True but I'm just comparing what I have lol.
If it's useable, then sure. But according to the PO, it was rebuilt in the late 90s and bored over .060. So if there's rust in that thing, its toast. That said I know where there is a stack of poly engines for 150 bucks each.
And there's a gentleman by the name of Bruce Toth that is making Cnc machines aluminum heads for the poly now.
That reminds me, i have to find an intake gasket set for a poly... my parts guy carries fel-pro and its nla.
Tried to re-seal the gasket and it didnt work, well it did,stop the seeping coolant, but then oil started leaking.
Did get it running decent,but the leaks are hard to deal with when parts arent readily available. I will find one by springtime.
Found a couple other things I'll have to fix to make it safe to be road worthy. The upper control arm bushings are shot and look to have been welded in at some point. Which is no big deal as I fully expected a full suspension rebuild. I also noticed the one motor mount ear where it is tacked to the K frame, the weld had busted to the point I can see a gap when prying the thing with a bar. So that'll need fixed for sure. Also noticed that the lower core support has been smashed upwards at some point, looks like by a bottle jack or similar. Radiator surprising is full of coolant and it's bright green with nothing visible floating. Weird.
The trunk lock is frozen either by water or rust, not sure. And I'm missing a lot of trim which will be challenging to locate I'm sure
