Not so fond of !
Damn, you mean no one tried to shove a hemi in the back of a notch back?
No Hemi under glass for a Notch. Sorry haha
??? let me think ? I know where there's an Olds. Toranado "damn spell check not working" front wheel drive !
Hum, I got a 392 I can build ? adapter plate ? maybe can make ?
YEP, Maybe in the Works !!!! Anything Is possible , when you drive a Mopar !!!
Just not sure how the frontend steering and such will handle without the block weight ? Trial & Error !!!

Ok, back at the ranch !
1975 440 truck block .
At the time . All i could find was a cast crank 440 truck block that was in good enough condition that i did not have to bore or sleeve !
So after a good hot tank & cleaning , hone job etc. Forged piston, float pins. New rings, bearings, 488/252 purple cam i believe. Double roller timing chain. High volume oil pump. 1967 - 915 CC heads all done up new!
New valves, seals, double springs , stock rockers. Push rods. etc. etc.etc.
Let see, am i leaving anything out ?
Damn I wanted a forged steel crank , but could not find one at the time . So i went with what i had !
Ok then, 10.5 Bell housing, flywheel , McLeod clutch/PP/TO bearing , 833 4speed. I have 3 of them so i did not mind cutting the tip off the input shaft . As we all know, most cast crank later model 440 are auto. Or at least this one was ! And don't have deep pilot hole.
Tried many different intakes and dif. shifters
Still not sure yet ?

Sure it would have been Oh So much easier to have dropped in a 340. "I have @ 5 of em" and prob. Might have better response. But I just always wanted a BB in an A body. I'm not a big Duster fan. Now I do like the early 60 -69 , Darts & Valiant body styles BUTT could not find one . & "I'm a Plymouth Man". And just so happened 2 Bcudas fell in my lap for a fair price . The 67 was a donor car for my 68 Formula S build. But when i saw how solid the Body was and had a clear title.
I'm like Hell no, I going build me a Toy !
It had a ugly F glass hood & fenders that i might have kept . But no place for head lights. So here comes @ABCuda to the rescue !
He had all the donor/sheetmetal parts for my 68 Form S build. I also bought 2 hoods,2 trunks,2 grille headers and 1 fender "had 1 already". Andy was so kool ! He even strapped them up , put them on pallets and took them to the Dock. Free of charge on his time. Damn fine Man.

Now as we were waiting for the barge to get to Hawaii, We has some work to do. Mount doors, repair/weld small patches on floor pan 6inx10in spot on driver side floor and couple small 2x2in spots in spare tire well in trunk. weld in 4speed tunnel "was 273/auto" and clutch & brake pedals. wire buff , sand , seal, primmer & first coat paint. took us about 30days to do that. Working 2 to3 days a week "had to pay bills. We do have other jobs ! The barge showed up, "yay' have you ever tried to put fenders, header and hood on with the wrong bolts ? Damn , Had to call the brother Andy up "@ABCuda" Send me what I need , USPS flat rate , Priority. 3 days later BOLTS to put it together. One of the biggest problems was both cars were totally stripped down to bare body shell ! when you are not the one taken it apart and not sure what bolts go where ? It takes a little time to reASSemble ! Fenders , hood , header and trunk were @ 98% rest free. Pretty damn good ! a few small dents and dings but to bad at all
Few picts
Car of many colors !!!
