The engine has been tested and cleaned, there are no issues with the block, heads, crank, or rods. He will bore out to fix the ridge rimmer I used- lesson learned never do that again. As for the failure not sure if there was one- I never heard the engine run. I was thinking about some head work...
I have added a few posts already to this site. I am building my 73 Challenger 440 to clone the 70 RT from Vanishing point. This will be my FIRST engine build, and second car building. I plan on asking a lot of questions and look forward to any suggestions. I plan to build in the following order...
Mopar leo, thanks for the info, I seen the TA snorkle style hood, but I cant seem to fine an aftermarket that reproduces the hood, and it makes sense the effects are better at high speed. Cosmetically looks good, not practical for street crusing. With that being said the Cuda T/A hood has a very...

I have already taken the blood pressure pills for this- my goal is to apply what I learned from the Camaro and do a budget rebuild as best as I can. I have the paper goal to be less than 10k for this, I will take alot of this on myself to do with help from friends who have built things before. I...
