My uncle is giving me his car to work on, 1971 Plymouth GTX. Runs a low 11 N/A, but he had an issue with no compression in 3 of the cylinders last year, and the car has sat in his garage since. He works for some firm and has no real time to work on the car anymore, so he said if I can fix the compression issue, I can keep the car. I can only guess as to what the issue is from 150 miles away, but when I go downstate in October I can try to get a better idea of exactly whats going on with it. I’ll do a few things to the CL most likely, but there’s no point in removing the perfectly good Bose system the car came with stock, aside from adding my subs that were in the Olds. Oh and tint, maybe. Idk about white car+tint. We’ll see what happens. Sooo basically the CL is the daily, and the GTX will be the track/summer car. ---

The GTX sounds like a longgggggggg project. No compression in 3 cylinders? You’re gonna be spending some coin to get it even running. ---

This car, to my knowledge, has had 3 drivetrain swaps, with the biggest motor being a supercharged V-10, but like I said, I don’t know enough about the car to really talk about it. I’ll put up a build thread later with what is in it, what has been in it, etc. @Joey, I’m hoping for the best, and preparing for the worst. No compression can’t be an easy issue to solve. ---

supercharged V-10 in a classic? I have no idea where you come up with some of this stuff? Unless it was a V10 ram motor with some blower on it, I have no idea what planet that swap came from… if it was actually done. If it was, I would love to see it. I like your enthusiasm, but I think you need to do some more home work before embarking on these car projects you post about. No compression: Piston rings are shot, cylinder walls are scratched, pistons could be shot, valves could be bent and leaking, Valve guides could be leaking, head gasket could be bad, crack in the block… Leak down test, compression test, pull the head(s) look for obvious damage. easy solution: crate motor ---

Do you really think that this GTX his grandfather is just handing down to him, at one point in time, had a viper engine AND supercharger in it??? Somehow I doubt that. But who knows. I say fill the trunk with lipo battery packs and swap a giant brushless electric motor in to the GTX ---
