I know there is someone out there who can answer this. I have been working on a deal for 12 years to buy 3 unstyled challengers. I finally, made the deal and plan to go get them soon. The question is, do challengers have wet sleeves, and how difficult are engine parts (new) to come by? Does anyone offer replacement radiator cores? Are new valves available, and rings? Anyone have a paint code for the green and red? Also, is the decal set advertised by Rinkert equipment (a twin power set) the only one available? Thank you for your help. Jerry

I agree it is very hard to find parts, when I had to rebuild the head on mine, we had to look for valves from different applications and compare the dimensions to get some that would work.I can't remember what we used for sure, but we had to cut them to the right length and machine a new keeper groove. It has been a while since I restored it but I got an excellent set of decals from Lyle Dumont. They need to be a gold color to be original and all the other sets I could find were yellow for the twin powers. Hope this helps. BT
