63 Monza 900

Post by James Swazey »

Howdy all,

Just bought myself a 63 Monza 900 project. The car is in very nice shape. It is a Canadian model in pretty much original condition. the car was painted once about 25 years ago. The engine has a bent push rod from a stuck lifter. Would like to do the engine work myself so if anyone knows any tips or tricks they want to share I would appreciate the help.

Thanks James

Welcome from Alaska !

As far as the bent pushrod - it may be that a valve was stuck rather than the lifter .

You'll be able to get lotsa help on this forum.
