Original hemi dart information

I'll need to go back to my notes to get that deck height for you. Ol' guy syndrome has once again reared it's ugly head. You have a couple very neat pieces there. Are they unscathed from their war time battles?

Here's a shot of the crank scraper that a buddy of mine lazer cut.... The aluminum spacer plate is to gain hole in pan to center link clearance. There's a home made screen style windage tray that bolts to the main caps also.

Milodon rear sump pan with dual external pickup. Fuel pump is a Race Pumps mechanical, so when I ordered the cam it needed a lobe for it.

Milodon gear drive with hand fabbed timing tab. This stocker fuel pump is going in for the time being as I've ran out of time to redo the fuel system on the car to accommodate the Race Pump.

looking at post #2378 of the cylinder head pictures--- I noticed you have a plate epoxied to the intake face--- I need a similiar product for a project I am doing. What is the product you used and where did you get it? Thanx for the info really enjoy this thread brings back lotsa memories to us old racers (I'm 70+)--

thanx Craig. It's been a long, EXPENSIVE haul

That's the plan. It'll be in the same building as the Sox & Martin display of over 20 of their original cars. There will be another Canuk from next province over too. Dave McDade will be debuing his original LO car in it's new original paint scheme. The Gene Oneil's Gene's Speed Shop SS/B Dart. I've only seen pictures of it so far. All I can say is "Holy crap"' it looks good. Right down to the gold leaf

See you there???? Might even have a few of those Canadian beer on ice for you that you American guys seem to enjoy so much.

never in my wildest dream would I have imagined that first post would have turned into what it has. The credit goes to many people, not me, for making it what it is today.
The epoxy I use is called Metal Set A4. I use it everywhere. Great, great stuff that has a long working time, easy to work, & contours easily once set.

I get it from a local aircraft supply store. Not sure where you'll find it down south, but if you google it, you'll probably be able to purchase it online like here.

Thanx Dick
Mix it 1 to 1 & have a spritz water bottle on the bench to work it. You can also use the old tried & true method of spit, but licking your finger afterwards is not suggested as most aircraft chemicals I work with are not too human friendly. It has a fairly long work time so you can get it shaped to what you need. I use tongue compressor sticks & cut them to the shape I need.

Daryl, do you have any pics of engine compartment with the motor out. I'm looking mostly for the motor mounts and k frame. I am getting ready to put my motor in and don't want to use a motor plate. Also what headers are you using, I'm using tti's new ones. Just trying to find out what the original stuff should look like.
Thanks
Bob
