'66 Dodge D-Dart at Mecum auction

[bill dedman]

Thanks for the well-wishes, guys! I feel lucky to be here.... remember, I was 18 years old when the first A-engine was introduced.... (1956 Plymouth 277), 24, when the first Maximum Performance Wedge motor (413) showed what it could do in '62, and a ripe, old, 32 when the Duster 340's first showed up!

No wonder I can't remember anything; it was too long ago!!!!!!

Insofar as my Valiant is concerned, I will likely continue down this ill-advised path until it sheds it's head gaskets, or ring lands, or piston tops....

In that vein, I have a new 4" crank lying on the floor in the living room, a new set of Eagle rods in a box on the couch (the wife's in re-hab, probably permanently {stroke}... what she doesn't see can't hurt me..). and a second (as in, "additional") Vortech blower sitting in my bedroom closet... I'm not gonna give this up without a fight...

Now, all I need is a set of forged pistons and a better set of heads...
