At this time just clean it up and get the 318 running. There was a 4 barrel stock Chrysler intake in the trunk, so I rebuilt a 4 barrel thermoquad carb, I had setting in the shop, last week. I should be able to install the carb next week and hopefully the car will run. This will help me out where I can move it under its own power. Get tired of pushing. :sad10:
The first thing Im doing is upgrading from the drum brakes to disks in the front. I found a donar car with 11" disks but I would like to find a set of 11 3/4 brake brackets from a B-body, so I can go with the larger rotors. I want to also up grade the suspension where it can handle the curves. I want the car to be street driven but handle like my Neon. Im looking at some upper contol arms and strut rods from Reilly Motorsports. Plus some new T-bars with a higher Lbs rating. Of course also replacing all of the bushings out. This should be able to make the front end more adjustable and make it handle well.
Not sure on what engine I want to go in it. :-? I have a 440 sitting in the shop that needs rebuilt but I know that its weight will throw off the handling real bad. I have been leaning more towards a small block. The new Hemi FI engine would be nice. I just haven't decided yet.
I know the car will take me a long while. I want done right the first time.
