Hey,
I'm 15 years old and I'm from Newfoundland, Canada and I am about to rebuild an old SL6 I found in the basement of my Grandfather's farm. I'm unsure of the year of the engine as I have only looked over the engine breifly. All I plan to do is clean it up and get new gaskets, air filter, and maybe a valve cover because I am under a very tight budget; all I have is a paper route. Any tips or cheap tricks please tell me.

Try checking your local library for a repair manual for dodge with a slant six. Try an early 70's dart is usually a good place to start. Read it cover to cover or at least the engine rebuilding section.

Visit this site on a regular basis. Read and ask questions when people talk about things you don't understand.
A couple of topics that might be interesting are distributor recurving and head porting.

Take your time and learn everything you can. If you don't have an expert to talk to at home, start a post in the projects section of this website and regularly update about what you are planning and what you have done. People will follow your progress and make suggestions. Give lots of details, and people will be more interested in what you are doing.

Don't really know of any book, but there's been lots of posts here on recurving (use search function, try recurve, recurving, distributor advance, centrifugal advance, advance.... etc), and do an internet search using same terms and you'll be swapped with info............
