Hello, my name is Steven from Carlsbad, NM. I have recently come across a 70 challenger 318 last month and need advise on some future modifications to the car. Thanks, Steven (sparky)

Thank you, I bought the car not even knowing if it was running or not. The body was in such good shape i could not pass her up. The only flaws in the car was that someone put in a sunroof (which has already been repaired) and the interior needed much help. I currently have the car in the upholstry shop where evrything will be in black. My father in law also gave me a 440/727 out of an r/v he has had set up for a project he can no longer work on. I don' know if this combo will work in the car or what I need to do for the swap. The 318 has a cam and carb on it and runs great I have always had performance gm cars and desire that power. I also plan on changing the apearance of the car (no to clone it) but to have it the way I desire. I came across a t/a hood in El Paso and it looks like a good deal. I really look forward to any help or advise at all. Thanks again. sparky

Welcome. We're always anxious to see pictures.  I figure you already know but stock upholstery is available from Legendary and other vendors so your shop doesn't have to custom fabricate anything if you want the interior to look like the originals.

Welcome to the forum, sparkybr74mr.   Now that you have a MOPAR you will soon forget about performance GM cars.   :roflsmiley:  We want to see some pictures!!!!
