Do you have any recommendations regarding preparing the underside of a resto project. Do you recommend taking it all bare before going forward, if yes, I am doing this mechanically and there are some locations which are extremely difficult at best. The car I am working on now has a patina of...
413 Going into 70 swinger
Thanks, I am going to take the 300 apart and use everything I can on the dart. What is left over will be offered for sale or scrapped. If anyone needs little items for a 300 L let me know. I would be happy to part with for just a taste for the effort plus shipping.

It is thought to be a HP 413, but need to read the number for verification. What I need you guys to help me with is where are the numbers which I need to take a picture of? Sorry, I am RPM addicted which kinda makes me a small block guy. I have this engine on a dolly in my pole barn, but...
