I just got a radio for dippy ( I have not had a radio all year ) I caught the game where the d-backs won and sealed up a spot in the playoffs ( I am a D-backs fan ) then I enjoied the sd vs co rockies to break the wild card tie.
I am not a rockies fan but I have been to enough games that I am...
I was getting gas in the dippy and i see a 64 white over blue green. I look in side and see the 4 speed and time capsule like new buckets.
I take to the 70ish tiny lady driving it.

My machine shop has a 512 they built fron std 440 block and 440 source parts, the customer now wants to sell it he wants a magablock.
The bottom end is all togather internally ballanced flat top pistons the seller is calling them 12:1s and 440 source list a flat top with a victor size...
The brakes failed and the young lady wanted me to take it back so I had it towed home and the master was dry as a bone.
Filled it blead it changed the oil and added water she is running fine and it gets 2x the MGP the ford gets.
So now I have sold it or given it away 5 times and it came...
Ok so nothing is free my land lord has a car lot in colorado springs and his last sales man quit. Tonight Mr Webb suggested I work on my cars at his car lot as it has 3 bays that face the north and one that faces west. I just have to keep around the place and if anyone shows up to buy a car...
Things are not really going smoothly back at the ranch or R/T dev east. There is one spot that no one can see from the road and I was going to rebuild the dart there to save driving back and forth to R/T south.
Problem weeks were thick sod was packed and a lot of cars had been parted out on...
As long as the motor is good I did a deal for a 66 dart good running but VERY COMPLETE and stock 66 273 ( just what the 66 'cuda needs to be stock )
Here the unknown it has 100% complete Fact AC but for a 66 dart dash not a cuda dash or a 65 dart dash..... Would love to pick up a new cuda...
I checked the bucket nope not to full. :(
I checked to see if the buckets got a hole in it. :looky:Nope
I checked E bay to see if I was overduing it a little.:rolleyes: Maybe
So where did I all go today
I got tired of looking for the correct parts to do a big bolt pattern front disk upgrade on...
I was thinking for now to put the stock 273 in the 66 cuda and the wild 273 in the dart. ( I might have to pull the ported J heads off the 273 as that may be too much flow for a street motor. )
Well I hope it was worth the wait here is the first spy shot
Strange thing is that even as we go to press the word is Robertson Tech is not in 2 locations yes lads I outgrew this. But then I am working on 3 cars and a truck at the same time.

Worked a 1/2 day on it pulled it down to the short block, strange the this was so stock it had the stock clamps for the water lines and all. The valve train looked clean and agreed with the 77K showing on the clock.
The bad all the bores are scored and with the rod knock I guess it ran out...
I tried to make the dart last but the head gasket had other ideas.
The Volvo is back ordered on a new cam.
My katana ( that I was counting on to get out of the shop last fri ) is waiting parts again the carbs were put back together wrong and it will need a lot more parts.
This left...
Well it has come to that time we all love time to rebuild a car in a few weeks. Here is the rub not sure what to do with the car.

What to do what to do I...

Final count 46,000 miles since we bought it online, it served us well I hope I do it well in return here is the problem I STILL do not know what I want to do with it..
I know I...
