Almost done. Ended up replacing the damper with a new reproduction from Bouchillon, the elastomer was getting dried out and starting to crack on the old damper. I don't know anyone else who services the stock style cast crank damper except Bouchillon.

Cleaning parts takes forever, never been a fan, but it's how the low buck game is played.

Instead of blasting everything I used the moparts vinegar/lemon juice/salt on alot of parts like the water pump housing....worked great, was a little slow but not bad.

Ended up with .474 cam, will try it and see how it works. It's always seemed pretty nice in other folks' cars, maybe I will like it.

I thought I had an extra AR engineering throttle return spring bracket but darned if I could find it. So I ended up using a small block one for the time being
