family project

Howdy Ya'll... heres a couple pics of the 74 project my son and I are working on. Shes a Swinger with a 318 in her for now. We are in the process of stroking a 400 to drop in with a 727, later... the car has little to no rust and was found in Montana. I have found that this site offers some awesome knowledge and experience and has helped us out alot with questions... great site and thanks for having us.

Great family project! Memories you'll both share forever.
Just to whet your appetite, here's a pic of the 400 our club (Inland Mopars) put in our 2008 charity project car 1968 Valiant. It fit like it was made for it.

Looks like a good car to start with. I've got a few 74/75 Darts sitting around if you need any parts.
