I won't know till it gets here I guess? It's a 6cyl car with a 440 transplant I'm guessing I'll need the torque boxes as well and maybe torsion bars? I'd like to do a sort of T/A clone with a 5 or 6 speed? I'm looking at a T/A hood on e-bay ( from Texas) but I've sent the seller 3 e-mails and he hasen't returned them? Maybe a 6.1+ hemi down the road? For now I want to get weight off the nose ,so anything I can replace with aluminum I'm going to look at. water pump intake heads? It's a 1970 440 out of a motorhome says the seller but again I haven't seen it yet? I don't haver a clue what heads are on it?
If I could find a cheap 8 3/4 or dana I might jump at it too? 3:50-3:90 gears. My Challenger has the original 6cyl rear end too. That's gotta go! I have a 9" ford here I could use though. I'm not a #'s matching kind of guy I just want to make a sort of pro-touring style car out of it. I'd like to build my own k-frame and eliminate the torsion bars ( in the future) The car I bought is rust free so that's all I wanted the 440 was a bonus. I figure with the mileage 33,000 original miles being a 6cyl it should be pretty straight? We will see?
How about you?
