Hi all,
This is my first Mopar and I have a few options that I wanted to run by you. I have a 72' Demon that I got with no power train and it came with some nice options. I'm missing the second fender tag for one and I would like to know what was on it. If you could tell me whats missing I would have a place to start. You probably would need to see the car but is there anything obviously missing?? Here's the first tag:

I have 3 motors to choose from but all need a full rebuild so it will probably cost the same or there abouts for all of them. A 340, 400 and a 440. The 340 is date correct but was detuned as I've been told to 8.5:1. I was thinking big block originally as that was the first motor that was given to me, and then I came across the 400 and was thinking 451 stroker, now I have come across this 72' 340 and I feel that it would be the right thing to re-unite this car with the motor it was born with (not matching #'s). I just want to build a daily driver so I'm not looking for monster torque or 600hp. Just a nice fast ride with a little jam under the hood. I know that ultimately it's my decision because I have to live with and drive it in the end. I am asking because I appreciate your opinions and I have options on the table. Your thoughts??
Cheers, Joe
