Background
I purchased this car back in 1997, after previously owning a 69 Dart 340 right after high school. First things first, I converted it to a 4-speed about three months after the purchase. While taking it out on a test ride, RPMs at about 5000, @#!$%&$ engine went! Ended up cracking the crankshaft in two. After inspection by Valley Machine, Peekskill NY. Vinnie (a great guy, now retired) found a fault in the initial build, by unknown machine shop. Vinnie and myself then proceeded to build the engine, which is now being used today.
Special Thanks to Kenny and Giulia (Dad & Mom), Vinnie (Valley Machine), Debby (my wife), Joseph and Danielle (kids).
