Well the air filter and valve cover set came in and can't wait 2 see how it looks on the car. I also heared from the shop that the engine is fully machined. Waiting for the last parts and the rebuild can begin

Mopar performance valve covers and air filter set ordered

I thought i change the internals before reassembling and other performamce upgrades can be added later on. I use the money now for mopar performance valve covers and air filter. Then i got a complete and clean 318 who runs like it should.

Makes sense right? There a less and less number matching cars so why would i take it's value. A number matching car should always stand above an engine swap

There not very common in europe no, but still if i can get a 340 or 360 i still wouldn't swap it. I rather have the number matching 318, a 440 or hemi would be more difficult to say no 2 but i'm sure the prices for them make it less difficult

There some rules ofcourse, u must have a regular car so u don't abuse it as a daily driver. These rules are made so car fanatics can drive there old cars.

In the Netherlands u don't have to pay taxes for an car older then 40 years. U only got insurance cost and u can drive here. I pay €45,- for insurence fully covered.

I talked with the shop about his findings after he took the engine apart. Currently the block and head is getting machined, and we talked about the parts they he can order already. He bought the following parts. KB pistons to get a 10.4.1 compression ( i'll edit it later for the specific type)...

Ty! The roads in the Netherlands are idd always nice to drive on. Mostly flat but i live close to the German border so we got some regions with hills. So i got choice enough! Ofcourse a 340 is better then the 318, but a 360 is better then the 340, and the 440 is even better! And ofcourse a...

I got some pictures of the block torn apart. I think it's safe to say i gatte look for a cam kit with timing chain.

Ty! It's a specific color and i think u like it or u really don't so i expected more suprised reactions. Also ty for that tip! Didn't knew that, i got paint for the engine bay in the colour i want. Need get me some black to i see.

I prepare the car myself and let a professional paintshop do it.

It's a retrofit, one of the things i wanne remove. U don't think it's a beautiful color? Brandywine

Almost 2 years ago i traded in my BMW for a 73 number matching Challenger with some work. I let a friens of mine who's a mechanic check the car and found out that 2 cilinders have low compression issues. After consideration i decided to first fix the engine before starting on the other things i...
