Howdy from Sunny Southern California
Hey guys! I recently bought a 1972 Plymouth Scamp from a local idiot as my project. He pretty much destroyed this car and had no clue what motor/trans/rear end he had in the car. It is a factory G code, a/c, power steering/brakes car and has had a rough life. When I picked it up it had water in the cylinders of the non-factory '75 360, a 727 trans and 7-1/4 rear end. Yes, a 7-1/4 rear end that is out of a 73+ a body (I have bbp in the rear and sbp in the front). Well the good news is that I am a Mopar fan and she has a great new home. I pulled the tired 360 and am going to install a fresh '78 360/727 (need painting still) with a 489 8-3/4 A body rear end (sbp) with 323 gear (non-suregrip but will be soon). Someone also put a 73+ front bench in it, I have a 68 Dart split bench with no headrest to replace it. I know I have a long road ahead of me, but I am going to make this car what it should have been a long time ago- a bada$$ street machine. Next is a set of Doug's D453 headers and some new rims/tires. I look forward to hearing from you guys, swapping ideas, comments, and/ or suggestions! Thanks! -Mike
