    Welcome to the site Chris!  Curious, what make you think this is a 70 cuda?  Or are you pulling our chain soldier?

    I stand corrected! This shows how green I am to the Mopar community lol

    I have much to learn.  :chatting:

    I actually went halves on this car with a buddy who lives in New Mexico. Currently the car is locked up in my dads shed up north, so I can't even tinker with it right now...

    Its got a 2bbl 273, which needs a THOROUGH rebuild. The valvetrain is pretty gunked up, but I can turn the crank, so hopefully the motor will be salvageable.

    If not, I have thought about swapping in an efi  5.2 or 5.9. We'll see what happens when we actually start working on it.

    Welcome to the site  :wave:  Unless you're hooked on the 273, I wouldn't do it; you'll want more power and the money is better spent going straight to that, as you mention. I don't know about the EFI thing unless you're very cognizant with it's intricacies, but your car, your call. Good luck with it.  :cheers:

    Welcome! Nice project you have there. If you have EFI questions talk to 70chall440, he is pretty smart on that stuff.
