Selling my '72 Scamp. I've had it for a few years and just don't have time to work on it. It was originally a 318/904 car. Now has a 360/727 from a late 70's dodge van. I was told by the previous owner that the engine/trans has 80k on it.
New brake shoes, lines, hoses on all four corners...
Thanks man, I needed that. I haven't driven a muscle car in a few years. My last car was a gasser style Studebaker with no interior. I liked it that way. The louder the better!

The best thing I ever did to my last two cars was cut off the header collector flanges and weld on ball and socket flanges. No gasket to blow out, and they seal great. I think I got mine from summit.
Yup, they're fast. I still wouldn't be caught dead driving one of those things. That Supra would blow the doors off my car, but damn, it sounded like $h!t!
I took a look at the Mancini's and the Schumacher's (those poly locks are sweet) but they are WAY out of my budget. If that's all that's available I'll just have to fabricate my own. I can cut up the van mounts that I have and make 'em work with the Scamp.
Hey fellas, I've been piecing together the basket case '72 Scamp I bought a few months ago and I'm about ready to drop the engine in. It's a 360 out of a '77 Dodge van. I put the correct oil pan on it, but I'm not sure if these motor mounts are right for the Scamp. Can anyone point me in the...
