Not only do you do great work on the car, you do the best damn videos I ever seen! Great angles, interesting, good editing and great music! Just add drama and you have a TV show  :grinno: .

He's definitely upping the game for the projects threads. Overhaulin' CC.Com style. Alan could add some drama when he deviates from original, Gran could toss some politics in there...
Could be a money maker.

Well this is it for a while. Gotta spend some time getting my ATV's ready for the riding season and some super exciting house work  :sleeping:

So, now that the engine is gone, what should I put back in? Same old 318? 340, 440, 6.4?  :wave:

Yes, everything has been shot with my GoPro Hero 3 Black. If I can scrap together enough cash I'm gonna pick up the new Hero 4 Black  :jumping:

I would probably go with a Gen III Hemi with a blower.

Probably, as always, depends on your budget.  Hey, I think Bigs just won a bunch of money, hit him up for a loan.   :2thumbs:

440 with a stroker kit from 440 source. :2cents:
Unless you are going for max handling, in that case, 360. (340's are toooo hard to come by).

My father-in-law has a 340... been sitting under his bench for about the last 20 years collecting dust. He's very reluctant to let it go. As of right now, I'm leaning towards a 440 stroked to 512 (440 Source kit) with aluminum heads and a mega-squirt port fuel injection system.

Cool. 
That's my plan too, have the 440 block and a quote from 440 source ready to go, including the stealth heads.  Naturally aspirated though, with a four barrel carb.  Classic dual snorkel breather.

My vote is Magnum 5.9 twin turbo setup.
Removing the warning labels one at a time.
Nature will take care of the rest.
