I have a spare 1970 HP block. So that’s the plan. I just wanna get this piece out to try and figure out how badly it busted off and how
Yeah,Damn!
Just pissed too. My boy, my grandfather and I assembled this together 3 months before my grandfather passed. Been kept in climate controlled storage , dry, in an engine oil bag in a cradle ever since. Was gonna put this in the dart this weekend so when my shop is done, I was gonna drive the dart to its new home

is right. This just doesn’t make sense.
I don’t see anyway around having to get a new block. This piece is about 1/8 inch thick, so even if I sleeve cylinder number 1, it’s going to have a serious weak spot and invite future problems. With the 4500 in the top end, I’d rather just switch blocks
But bigger question: if the 70 block checks out…. Since the heads will support 600 plus hp, do I go ahead and stuff a stroker kit in it or just use the rotating assembly from this one. It’s a factory forged crank with LY rods and forged pistons, king bearings
What's your plan for the car when finished.
Grandkids stopped over today and had a great time.
That path looks like it’s set for mountain biking. They have a few around here. Follows rocky paths and then you hit areas with the wooden paths that are banked with jumps and various obstacles.
I hope it’s a beautiful day for the wedding tomorrow Fred.
Was to build a road race/auto cross car that could also cruise an anywhere. But now, I’ll just be happy with it a dedicated cruiser.
Rain all day but I will have a great day with my family. Thanks Steph.
hmmmm maybe this is a sign to sell the dart and buy a cool old station wagon
I took Wyatt to a local place tonight that is considered a listening room for live music. It’s called Godfrey Daniels. They have been open since 1976. Tonight they had artists playing Americana/bluegrass. They were all individual artists but they collaborated together. It was my first time ever going there. It really was as great show.

Good Morning All, that means you Mitch plus any lurkers lol! Happy Birthday to Rick @Ben Drinkin pour a tall one!
I received my Pioneer vintage tribute turntable in the mail yesterday evening, will be putting it together today, just happens to be my fathers birthday as well so fitting : ) Hawthorne Stereo still hasn't completed repairs on the Pioneer receiver I demo'd a couple of weeks back, had to send it off site but no hurry here, that will complete the system and I'll run it all through his Magnepans.
Wow that setting looks beautiful, have a great time and pic pls of course!
That's great, I missed a bunch yesterday, thank God the work week is over!!!
