Dana "60" Glass. HEMI sounds great, but the numbers telling the story. Maybe a re-ring, bearings, cam, and valve springs to bring the crispness back. I know you'll want to check the valves, but it sounds like the rings ain't what they used to be. If it's a budget deal, re-ring, new cam and valve job. Put some money in it, block deck, pistons, get compression up to 11.5:1, and a cam with some overlap. New dual point distributor, rebuild the carbs, if it were mine. I could talk to Mike from New Yawk for hours. Great video!

Good afternoon Nick & George, The 426 Hemi is a legend, especially one of this vintage. I would just go through the engine, definitely a new cam, springs, and lifters. I would rebuild the carbs. and re-jet as necessary. I would also check the rod, main, and cam bearings to make sure they are ok. If this is going to be a street cruiser, I would change out the 90/10 shocks, and lose the 4:30 gears in the diff for something more suited for street driving. Since I only live a few miles from Pflugerville, if I see this car on the street I will give her a run for sure.

1st off, awesome. The 1st thing I would do is test. Single 4bbl carb. On duel plane intake. I believe you can make more tq closer to the hp rpm. Zero Deck the block and shave heads 0.030 with a 0.039 to 0.042 crush on the head gasket. I know nick likes 0.020 head gasket crush, but It's a cruzer, not a racer, and 91 to 93 octane should be ok at 10.41:1 / 10.60:1 . Heads have to flow to Match the cam, so I believe the cam in that setup is maxed out the head on both exhaust and intake flow. It probably has small valves as well. I know there's a budget you are good at keeping it within reason. Happy holidays and be safe all.

A lot of times it's all about budget. Traditionally with the engine out of the car, I would always, at a minimum, replace the timing chain and gears and the oil pump. That's always good insurance to do that. But this engine also has a rear main seal leak. There are methods for replacing the seal without removing the crank, which I've never had good success at. So, if you take the crank out, replace the rear main and check the bearings. If they look good, and this engine did have good oil pressure, you could put them back in. Again, it's about how much do you want to spend. Another thing I would do is get rid of that locked out distributor. You have good vacuum in the engine, so get one with a vacuum advance. Your daughter will like how streetable the engine will be at that point. And just make sure that the carbs are tuned well. You've got Nick there to help you with that. Just my 2 cents.

Seriously, yes it has to be torn down for a complete rebuild. You must check those main bearing webs for cracks! That was a risk winding that old dog to 6000 RPM. But we enjoyed it!😂😂😂Best of luck to the owner.

Rebuild, raise compression, roller cam,lifters,rockers, higher flow heads, or rebuild these heads, port polish for better flow.

Freshen it up. It has a rear main leak. Measure the bearings, check the cam, new springs, seals, ect. It would be best to know what you have, and know you can trust it.

new water pump, thermostat, temp sensor, and most definitely champion spark plugs. Fix the secondaries on front carb and it should rock the house.
