Just finished taking my engine apart with my brother, probably going to take it to the Machine shop on Monday.

I asked my bro if he'd help me rebuild it, he said he would if I have the right tools for the job. As far as I know I'll need a torque wrench, what else will I need?

Torque spec sheet and a set of plasti gauges as well. A set of basic hand tools should get you through it though. A inch-pounds torque wrench is also key.

will you be reassembling the motor with your brother?

Rex 360

Yeah, we'll be putting it together.

have fun what kind of car or truck do you plan on putting this motor in

various socket sizes
extra oil (for the new parts)

Gasket scraper, lots of solvent, small wire pipe cleaners for all oil passages, die grinder to remove any sand casting from block. Clean the block and all parts till you can wipe them with a paper towel and have NO discoloration. Locktite, thread sealant, thread lube, never sieze, don't put a bolt in or a nut on with out the right one for it.

Dont forget assembly lube and good break in oil. I used Royal Purple. You would hate to have to rebuild it twice! Good luck and have fun

Thanks a lot guys!

And as for the car I wanna put it in, I'm thinking of a Dart or Duster. I really want a Demon but those are really hard to find, haha.

what year do you want?

Rex 360

Pretty much early 70s.

i'll look for ya

Red Devil

that makes 2 of us now, lol. They only made Demons in 71 and 72 after that it was the Dart Sport, so that can make it both easy and hard to find them, lol

Yep, pressure from the Religous Right.

Oh wow, I had no idea. No wonder, lol. Well if I can get my hands on one it'd be freakin' awesome!
