Oh my god how quickly a "Budget freshen up" turns into roller valvetrain, stroker, stealth heads ect. Since you pulled the pan might as well go new rod and main bearings. Definitely new valve seals. Keep it as is (were assuming it was a good engine) with a good ignition, carb and dual exhaust. Maybe some cheap headers? Save your dang $$$ for your FUTURE motor.


Keep old mopars alive.
