New one from New Mexico

[dekoone505]

My name is Julian. Live in ALbuquerque New Mexico. Im currently working on a 73 challgenger. It came with a 318 but im going with a 68 383 block that has been bored '40 over. i got a street/drag cam and forged pistons.  Im also dropping a 727 with a shift kit and i think i might go with 9'' on the back. i just the body work done and painted it with the "hot rod black" which is pretty much a flat black. once i get a better budget, im gonna go either with a Midnight Blue or a Plum crazy purple. if u guys want to see my car, just go to www.cardomain.com/id/dekoone505 thanks and hope i get some feedback from you guys. By the way, those other mopars on the background r my friend's toys. Both, him and his dad been working on mopars for a while.

Here are some pictures:

   Wlecome!  Looks like a great project!

Looks like there's some interesting cars in the back ground of the first picture.  Are you working on them?

 Cool looking project, I like the Primer black paint 
 What rearend do you have in it now? Isn't it an 8 3/4? I wouldn't put a 9" in it though, it will cost ya HP! If you have an 8 3/4 keep it.

Glad to have you!

Welcome to the site, Julian!   I'm glad you stopped by to see what this site is all about.  Keep up the great work and be sure to let us know how things go along the way with some photos of that '73.

Thanks to all of you! the rear end is an 8 3/4 and for the other mopars, they're owned by a friend. He's got 1 69 chargers an auto and 4 speed 6pack, cuda i think it is a 73 or 74, cant remember, 69 road runner, 2 73 chargers an auto and a 4 speed one.  Does anyone know the bolt pattern for the challenger? oh yeah, and also the bolt that goes on the crank on a 383 and where can i find one? Been working on the new engine lately but its worthless without that bolt since its hard to turn the crank with 4 pistons in it

440 Source is usually good for big block hardware, but it looks like they are out of the damper to crankshaft bolts because the price says N/A. I would give them a call anyway.

Cool car man. I live in Carlsbad NM and go to Albuquerque/Rio Rancho from time to time. Nice to have another New Mexican around. My brother in law lives in Rio Rancho and has 2 mopars in his garage, a  red/white with white billboards survivor '71 340 'Cuda and a 70 383 R/T-SE.
