well over a year has past since the last post and the car is almost driveable now i just lack a few details, such as carb tuning, wheel alignment, and i need to get some kind of fan shroud on. also redid the ignition system with msd coil, box and wires. ive moved the battery...

i got a set to fit in a 74 but not without a lot of denting and cussing. mine were 1/3/4" and i had power steering. i got them at a swap meet so i dont know what brand they are.

well a few months have passed so ill update my progress. the engine is running pretty good anfter sitting for 6 yrs. i now have brakes installed , ended up using b body 10x2.5" shoes and drums on the back, rebuilt the front calipers. , i had strange engineering make up the driveshaft ...

It looks like you used an hvlp turbine system to spray the paint. If so what make do you have? im thinking about going that way for my paint work.

wow that really turned out great you ve got to be real proud of it.

is your car sherwood green or avacado?

your build is looking good, you can get a lot of help here if you need it. good luck

well 2 months have passed since the last post, now i have the rear end finished and bolted in to stay, the engine has a set of e body headers on it dents and all but it can be done. i have an exhaust system off a b body on the car now. whats left is the right tires, as ther4ars are 275/60 15 and...

its looking good, nothing wrong at all with welding in a piece of metal that didnt cost an arm and a leg that no one sees anyway.

today, the engine and transmission got bolted in for good. the only problems that occured was the transmission mount holes had to be elongated toward the front and the pass. side engine mount perches needed the bolt groove widened a hair. nothing a little grinding with a carbide burr...

thanks for the kind words, the dana came from a 72 ford camper special the guy i got it from said. it didnt have the posi but had 410 gears, so i found a used posi on ebay for 190.00 then the axles i did buy new from dr. diff, they set me back 325.00. then the axle bearing housing ends and...

let me also say my original cost estimate for completing this car ($3000) has been passed and ive still got a ways to go. oh well, i guess i was dreaming. now im hoping 4500 will finish the car. also my time estimate for the end of the year is not gonna happen . i did luck up and bought...

today i cut the motor mounts and moved them the required amount to fit the big block in correctly. this is saving me the price of the schumacher mounts. let me say it is quite a job while the k member is mounted in the car. you end up sitting right on top of your work but i managed to get it...

the motor came out of a 71 charger i had. it ran real good but i wanted a 440 for it so i found one and put it in. this 383 has the lower compression pistons and the 346 heads, so its a 300 hp engine. for the last couple of months i have gone thru the transmission and that has taken me about 6...

well i talked to jim lusk and im going to move the mounts on the k frame back as he says in the dc kframe mods in the tech section of the board. actually when i look at the motor in the car it is sitting not completely straight. it is level but i do need to move the mounts backward. then the...

you got a pretty good deal on it. around here they are asking $500 to 1000 for old worn out 383 and 440s . check with mancini and summit they have kits for probably the best prices.

well today i got around to dropping the 383 in the engine bay as a trial test fit. i got a pair of bb spool type mounts from ebay and wanted to see what problems i will have. well i was surprised to find out the motor went in with out any major interference issues. the only thing i need to...

i like your fuel tank set up, i might do the same for mine since my original tank is rusted out and so full of gunk i dont think i would evber get it cleaned out.

i sure will, one thing going for me is that this car has a v8 kframe already in so that helps out. today i ran into a guy at a swap meet that rebuilds transmissions and will rebuild my 727 for $200.00 if i supply the parts. so i took his card .

yes the rear is just sitting there loose for wheel and tire checking. i didnt have the perches welded on yet. i understand the car needs to be on wheels with all weight ( engine, trans , and all in ) on the wheels when you set your pinion angle (3 to 5 degrees) then you have the spring...

thanks, my first major hurdle is to get it to roll so i can get it into the garage. working in the dirt is not fun. im working on getting a dana under it. i got one from a truck for $150.00 , cut the ends off and had new strange ends welded on. Now im getting with dr. diff to see about some...

This is going to be a street strip type car, with a budget of around 3k if that is possible. i bought the car with out motor, trans, rear for $700.00. It was a project gone bad. The car was comletely finished paint wise and sat outside for 7-8 yrs. rust got back into it so now im having to take...
