Ok, it made ME laugh anyway! I must be the only one. Lol. And he got plenty of responses so he got everyone’s attention. I own nice 70 RT and have several Charger buddies and several contacts in the area. There are still rust free cars in west Texas for sure, and I can occasionally find a...

Shoot me a pm with your phone number. I have a complete 73 challenger I’ll be parting out. Mark

Tony, I’ve got some old NOS roller cores that I bought when Mopar liquidated parts in the 80’s. They are unground lobes. I have SB and Hemi cores. I sent one off to Bullet and had it inspected and they said it was an Enderall blank core, which is what all cams used to be ground from before...

FYI. Most of the racers used a 66 up k frame that moved the engine back 1” and used 66 up headers. That might be an option. I’ve got two sets of the old Hooker race headers for Hemis but not sure what they fit. I got one set with a 67 GTX with a hemi installed in it with a hemi k frame years...

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...
