My Son's Motor
Created on 2007-10-17 16:17:38
While the weather begins to slip into fall mode soon to be winter, we have begun the inevitable work in the garage to finish projects or begin new ones. This time last year I burned a valve on the MGB and rebuilt the head. This year the project belongs to my son, who is finishing his bored out and completely rebuilt 318 V8 for his '75 Dodge Dart. I'm proud of him as he has put a lot of work into this car building the motor himself and its coming to fruition. It used to be a slant six, but we did a conversion together several years ago with a junkyard V8. Slightly off topic so I'll leave it at that.
