If you dont have a copy of DODGE PICKUPS History and Restoration Guide 1918-1971 by Don Bunn and Tom Brownell you should beg borrow or syeal one . Chapter 14 has some helpful hints whrn rebuilding a Dodge 6. These are tough little engines with their weakest point being too small in the rod bearing area . From experience these engines in a car will reach 100 mph and soon need a set of bearings. In chapter 14 the author goes into detail how to increase the oil supply to this inherently weak area .
