Car is going down to get the headliner put in next week along with the seat covers done up.

FYI- that harmonic balancer looks to be for a cast crank (you state that it is a date coded block with stock rotating assembly). Also, on the driver's side valve cover, be sure to remove the #7 spark plug wire tabs, they were a C-body only thing.

Thanks! will do on the tab. when dad had the motor put together, he had a balancer in his stash he took down to the machine shop and thats what it was balanced with. I've been going to get more pictures up, I've been busy with getting house stuff ready for winter- it's getting cold! 1971 Plymouth Duster 340 auto 1937 Plymouth PT50 1969 Dodge Dart Swinger 340 4 speed 2013 Ram laramie 2500 hemi 2008 Harley FLSTSB springer

Its sunny out today, ill see if i get time to roll the car out and get better shots of it. a week from today, we're going to haul it down to get the headliner put in and have the seat covers done up. currently have the front suspension tore down and plan to have it done so we can load it up on a trailer. some wet sanding and buffing to go and the engine dyno is coming up. things might slow down a bit being we got beans to combine, but still aiming on the car being done to drive in the spring 8292518-image.jpg (230 downloads) Last edited by mopars_1; 10/06/14 03:59 PM. 1971 Plymouth Duster 340 auto 1937 Plymouth PT50 1969 Dodge Dart Swinger 340 4 speed 2013 Ram laramie 2500 hemi 2008 Harley FLSTSB springer

I cant recall the pistons in it, but it is pretty close to 10-1 compression (we cc'd it) the machine shop had it balanced out. not exactly the build I would have done, but dad didn't really want to go too far from a stockish build. 1971 Plymouth Duster 340 auto 1937 Plymouth PT50 1969 Dodge Dart Swinger 340 4 speed 2013 Ram laramie 2500 hemi 2008 Harley FLSTSB springer
