    That is a great start  :bananasmi skin,  I was going to ask if those covers were in fact Jenson Iterceptor covers. :clapping:  Have you got any fender tag details, looks as if your car was an original White Challenger by the headlight plate brackets. :2thumbs:

    If you mean the two engine you can see in all the pics, the orange one is a standard 440 which is going in the Challenger with a 6-Pack, the other block you can see (which originally was in the chally) is getting re-bored and stroked to 512 with a dominator or tunnel ram to be put in our Plymouth Scamp racer...
