Project- Bills Buggy

So... Finally managed to bring home the eventual new heartbeat of the buggy last week. My good buddy Mr B. is real good friends with the guy that owned this motor and tranny.. I have met him a couple of times and hes a real cool dude.. Has a 62 (I believe) Dodge Polara.. Sweet car..

At any rate, he had this 360 and 727 done for that car a long time ago.. ran it for a while, and decided to go in another direction.. wanted to go big block.. so, out the small block came and stored in his garage it was for the next 25 years LOL .. Said it ran like a raped date when he pulled it. Couldnt remember everything that had be done to it... Its nothing radical, but more on the order of fun for me.. .30 over, Crowler cam, Rhoads lifters (Im sure I am spelling all that wrong) couldnt remember the exact cam numbers.. torker intake, J heads.. Should be a spunky bastard... 727 was redone, with a reverse pattern manual shift valve body, 3,000 stall speed converter..

Im gonna tear her down somewhat over the next few months, re-gasket it, have things gone over, clean her up, paint it a nice shade of Hemi orange, drop her in a have some fun... My goal is to have all that done and do the motor swap this winter.. when she comes out next season, she should have a little lump and be a bit spunkier.. LOL .. I cant wait.. just figured I'd share the news..

And so the buggy thread continues... stay tuned...
