Was the stock cam and timing setup left in place to drive the oil pump and distributor?
Had to be, the only way around it would've been to run a belt drive off the front for an external oil pump, and a front mounted dizzy (which works great in a drag car, but leaves not much room in the street driver (and in an era where the electric fan up grade was not an industry standard).

Neat pics, and definately an interesting set up with all the old OEM items (don't see many of those clutches any more).

Thanks for sharing,

I have the for sale ad from an old hot rod magazine for this engine in the dart. I never could find any information on who did it and what the deal was. Very cool to close the loop years later!

Someone posted the HRM ad a few years ago.

The real cool factor is that this was done in a style we all could duplicate....

Thanks Jim....you win my Dude of the Day Award.

This would be a museum piece. It's a 170, so the ports and valve size would be "adequate."

There may be more to it, so there's little that can be said about how it might perform, though with the technology of the time, it may be limited in todays racing circles.

This is really, really interesting. I'm amazed you were able to re-engineer the head with the cam supports, rockers, and that drive in the back. Extremely impressed.

It'd sure as hell be a lot easier to work on, changing cams out would be a joke compared to now!

This is exciting! Welcome to the site. I have no idea what this is all worth. I guess with those rollers you could run a real roller cam w/o fancy lifters as in a stock engine.

Thanks for posting and we will all contemplate...
