This is not a matching motor, so I know that it won't match. However, the rest of the car is fine. It's a V code car with a few options added from a previous owner! :tongue: :tongue: :tongue:
The person I bought the car from has been more than helpful & willing to do what is right. I decided to keep the car (he would have bought it back if I wanted) and the seller agreed to refund me some of the original price. It's still going to be fun!
So, it looks like I have a 70 Cuda 440-6 with a ralley gauge, 4-speed and a Dana 60. Check in with me tomorrow to see what options the car loses through the night..... :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:
I have to tell you guys, I have met more honest and good people in the mopar circle than in any other group of poeple. Thanks for the help.
The hole in my N96 Challenger is in the same place as N96x2's, but the hole feels smooth and perfectly round. I don't feel any sharp edges on either side. Did you look under the dash where the shaker cable goes to see if holes were drilled as well in the area where the shaker door actuator lever goes?
Cody, whichever way this goes....check out the motor stamping boss plate (under the block) can you take pics of that? In light of all this, you might need to authenticate whether the cuda is indeed a true V code. The shaker in the picture back in the'80's looked rough, as if missing the trim ring or something that normal shakers usually have (I can't pinpoint exactly what).
We'll all hang with you on this and ride it out to the end. No need to kick your nuts. I think you should get that $5K back from the owner AND decide to either restore the car for keeps OR sell it if you want a factory shaker car with a real 440 six pack, like I think you were looking for in the first place
