Engine is all assembled now too. Gunna take it to the dyno in a few weeks to break in and see what shes got!

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

Looks great, I didn't think I would ever see anyone bring this car back, nice to see.

Looking good Kevin! 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!

Again, to me, this is where the hard work paid off haha. 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

it has a steel crank, 6 pack rods, a mopar purple cam, 456 heads (unported) and an a12 aluminum intake. 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.
