Tha Manhattan - LO23

Daryl,

Pete M***** is no longer with us.

Further information from Al Ripolla was,

After Pete got the Dart in April 1968, it was brought to his Garage on Delafield Avene in Riverdale, in the Bronx.

They pulled the Cylinder Heads, and sent them to Jack Merkel
for a complete Competition Valve-Job and CC'ing.

The block was left alone, other than a Deep Oil Pan.
Al remembers that they didn't pull the Engine, because
Pete didn't have a lot of extra cash.

Al remembers that Pete went with an Engle 'Solid-Lifter Camshaft'
and Racer Brown components, which he purchased from either Manhattan Speed Parts, or Bronx Speed Shop.

But it took Pete about 2-Months to get the Dart out and running.
