I am 90% sure the issue with the engine is the fact that you upgraded the suspension and brakes causing it to not be numbers matching anymore and everybody knows that a numbers matching mopar is somehow just better in every way no matter how horrible it is

So what became of this gem? No part 4 to find out if the engine was salvageable?  No drive to Wisconsin to reunite with it's long lost owner?

Guess i wont be going to bed for another 50 minutes 😂

Who else is here waiting for part 4 haha 😢

I know it's a good day when junkyard digs uploads

Next video: Engine rebuild.

love to see a complete engine rebuild on this

This episode was more real life then most of the other channels. You will get that thing rocking soon enough!

Phoenix gets 20 second features and his laugh is always infectious lmao

Please keep doing more restoration episodes on this car to get it "right" as far as reasonably possible. Even if it it includes doing more work than you usually do on the revival cars like interior, body trim and so on.

I love fuselage mopars and would gladly watch more episodes. For me this car would be a keeper.

A Mook AND Digs video?

Well fuck my bedtime lol

Them summit wheels look great on this car

Better late than never! Appreciate all your hard work Kevin and mook

6:38 The cut to the bigger hammer got a chuckle out of me.

I cant wait for part 4. I also cant wait to see when you show the original owner

Just thought I’d add my two cents as a mopar guy that’s dabbled in handling for the benefit of anyone else that would be interested in doing this, the stock mopar setup is actually pretty good and miles better than what most domestics had at the time. The main weaknesses are the flex in the upper control arm mounts/shock towers and the steering link setup. A strut tower brace can help one of these cars tremendously as well as some gusseting around the mounts, in addition to what Kevin has already put on the car.

Sway bars are definitely available from multiple manufacturers for b bodies, and though it’s a bit more of a pain in the ass to adjust, with different spring rates to fit your needs(replacing torsion bars) you’d have adjustable ride height and shock valving, in a suspension with low center of gravity and a fairly consistent camber curve throughout the travel. Not bad for 1950s tech. See the mopar action green valiant articles for better explanations than I can give.

Excellent vid as always man

time to not sleep for new jyd vid

where's the next episode!?

Yep time to screw up my sleep to watch this banger video

Hey Kevin love the suspension upgrade but you missed the most important one that causes the most problems just ask uncle Tony the bush that the torsion bar mounts into the lower control arm it causes them to cause toe in and out problems when they wear makes them have bad bump steer issues yours might have fine but they are prone to falling prematurely
