Operation recent Mopar work:
Tinkering on 2 mopars here; Sams Coronet R/T (hemi 4speed) and Carens 70 Charger R/T (vcode 4speed).
1. Making things better for Sams car; this episode sway bar links to correct ones, reinstall the serviced original rad and fan assembly, some details for oem-correct parts (ballast resistor, oil crankcase breather)
2. For Caren's, continuing with putting the 440 back together because of the bad spun cam bearing, had the long block serviced since it was out to replace the cam bearings. Have other items to install yet before priming and painting. Probably going back to the original orange. Original block albeit the rods where changed out decades ago (hence standard dampner)

Operation Drivetrain removal:
Unfortunately discovered a spun cam bearing and now have to remove the engine. Might as well just remove everything and clean it all up..
