I use the Eastwood stainless steel paint but I spray mine on.

I’ve owned, bought and sold a few mopar cars in my lifetime. I rebuild motors and cars for people that can’t. What I can tell you is simple. If he PAYS you money to take the car and you restore it, you will have more in it than it’s worth. If you can do all the work, then you won’t be in upside...

Several companies have them. Classic industries and Josh’s muscle car parts. I’m sure they are made by the same place.

Sent you a pm

You are correct. They have valve reliefs.

I’m familiar with the 2355 flat top and 2.061 CH. The last build I did used Race Tech pistons but they have the same CH of 2.061. It put my deck height only -.004. That’s pretty close for a closed chamber head unless you use the .054 head gasket. I used Steath heads with an 84cc chamber and I...

From the pictures I see, it has the factory balance job. Most shops use a smaller drill to balance the crank and they are usually not in the same spot as factory. I would rebalance the assembly since it’s got so many unknowns. Don’t use that balancer that on it now and use a neutral flywheel...

Looks like you have some good parts anyway. Finding a 70 hp block that will run at std is rare. That means it did not have many miles on it when retired. But you have an excellent starting point. Those 2266 pistons are for a 69 compression height. That’s why they have those closed chamber heads...

Brad has a list of all known 69 vert GTX’s and that number is not on it.

I called him and it’s not his. Thanks for posting it though.

I build lots of engines and I constantly get engines in the shop that are freshly rebuilt that have all kinds of problems. Some are even running in the car with potential problems. I get some pull out like this that are really messed up. I go to extra care on my builds and only use a very good...

Seats are a tough call. As long as the tracks and springs are not rusty, they sell. I’ve tossed a 70 seat before long ago. I’m not an expert on headrests for sure. Like mentioned shipping is the killer and driving takes time and money. Just advertise it for $500 and be willing to work a deal...

I’ve got a friend with a 69 GTX vert and a lost engine. I’ll reach out today and ask.

I put the list number in the title but it’s list 4783.

I’m looking to complete a customers set and he’s missing a few parts. I need a baseplate, shaft and blades. I may need a metering block as well. It’s a 500 cfm carb. Pm me. Mark
