67 GTX I am still looking to sell mine, I had a local guy contact me through Craigslist and I don't think he wanted to wait two weeks until today for me to deliver it to him. I am going to take some pictures today of it, and hopefully some pics for Al of my Cordoba to answer his questions.

Nope, almost have the 400 out, picking up the 440 from the machine shop tomorrow. Need to buy heads, get stall converter and flex plate, do shift kit and identify differential. Then I should be good to go.

Well you see I didn't realize there was water sitting on top of the pistons and it pitted them. I couldn't get it all out by honing it so I sent it there and they told me it had to be bored out. I had them bore it out .30 over, acid wash the block, put new cam bearings in, assemble the lower end to include new pistons, steel crank with new bearings, put the cam in, and timing gear all for $650, I couldn't say no to that price. I get it back today, and since he primed the block it isn't a big deal to throw the Mopar blue back on.

I took some pics of the carb if anyone is interested:

Nope, and I thank you for reminding me. As I said before I just don't think there was one installed, as there were no remnants of it. I do want to put one in though.

I read something about it yesterday and it said it is used to help prevent oil from getting to the oil seal, make it last longer, as well as keeping the timing gear oiled.

Oh, forgot to add, I bought an aluminum water pump, housing and neck from them, seems to be good, a little bit of residue from what looks like a sand casting, but good stuff.
