Hey gang, I suppose this is more of a poll than anything else. I'm posting this on behalf of my pop who is restoring a 68 Charger. I know it's a B body, but hey, its MOPAR and the questions apply to this group too. OK, so he's at the point in the resto where he's selecting the drive train. Hear me out before you type a response. The 440 was already built with this compression when he bought it.
Question 1:
I you were buying a NON numbers 68 Charger, how important is a 4 speed to you?
Question 2:
Would you prefer a 360 street engine, or a 440 that has 12 to 1 compression? The 440 runs OK, but could use some love. The 360 is a smooth running, easy driving engine. Reason for this exact choice, is we have both of these in hand at the moment.
Question 3:
If we went with the 360, running and driving in the car, would the deal be more attractive if the 440 and associated bell housing were also for sale with it, for and addition cost of course?
Question 4: At the moment he's leaning towards B5 with a white vinyl top, as we really think that would appeal to the widest buyer pool, as opposed to a custom color that would turn some buyers off. Thoughts on that color combo?
As always, Thanks for your input!
