El Cheapo vs. 440

Yes.
Plan is, to build a big block early A.

I found lots of parts at the German Moparforum.

Here is the 440 with a forged crank

And a period correct A833 with a steelbell

So, to put the 440 in, I took my money and gave it to Schumacher.

With this mounts the 440 went in like a glove (beside a small steeringbox hitting nose, I had to cut off the block)

I knew that the tunnel would become a problem, so I didn't mind cutting as much as it took

Testfitting the hump

And replacing a floorboard that was too thin

And after that, I stitched it all together. That was funny

I cannot weld too much. So this is more a piece of fun than of beauty :D
