Hello, have a 1969 dodge charger 383 two barrel car with A/C. This car has been sitting since 1987 and I decided to make it road worthy. The car still retains its original B5 blue color and had a black vinyl top. The car is very straight with minimal rust at the lower rear glass areas and in the trunk which is minimal for a Mopar. The floors and quarters are rust free. Still retain it original sheet metal. This 69 charger is a runner and a true survivor . Also, he engine and transmission is numbers matching. The engine still retains a stock bore: 4.250. The body is also all numbers matching and the radiator support matches the VIN and the trunk area. It also has a data plate and bill sheet. Here is a brief list of what I did to the drive train:
- I boiled out fuel tank and radiator, nstalled a new fuel pump, ebuilt the carburetor with an overhaul kit.
- Before I fired the motor up I put marvel mystery oil in each of the cylinders and let it soak for a couple of days.
- It had a flat cam shaft at the number two exhaust lobe so I replaced the cam with another 290 HP cam shaft with goof lifters.Also install a new double roller timing chain.
- I took the cylinder heads off and good thing I did because I found four of the stock rocker arms worn down on the right side and replaced them with good stock rocker arms.
- When the heads were off I mic'd the left side cylinder bank and bores measured 4.254 so that is how I know it retains the stock bore.Valve where not recess sitting up high.Perform a leak down check on the valve in the combustion chamber with solvent good to go did not need to perform laping in the valve
- I found the oil passage plug on the right side plugged and the cylinder head holes were also plugged on both sides. So I cleaned out all the passages in the oil and coolant cavities.
- I pulled the oil pan out and cleaned it.Also check torque on rod bearings and main bearings
- I put a new exhaust muffler on the car.
- I did a compression test on the left bank and all four cylinders (cylinders 1,3,5,7) had a compression of 145 pounds.
