Many Years ago before my 3 Dodge B350 360 TorqueFlite Vans I had a '75 Ford E250 van with 1 ton running gear, 460 and a C6. Nuthin' like a Big Block, anybody's Big Block! The Stop Light Gran Prix was great fun against the rice rockets once I had trained the Autolite quad to pop when I wanted it...

I like the crossram with the fenderwells! The long rams will fit but I think you need to notch the inner fenders.

I don't think I have a picture of my '66 Valiant 200 wagon but my favorite 225 car was the '68 Charger 225 with 3 speed column shifter! It got down the road surprisingly quick!

@Ragmanx Your car is the same color as my mother's '62 GT last seen on the Eastern Shore of Maryland in 1985.

@nutz It was there when I bought the car. It's part of the car's personality.

Why do you think the first thing I noticed was the fenderwells?!

I always wanted a 225 4 speed wagon. I saw one on a used car lot already sold. I'd missed it by a day!

When I worked in Camden, NJ I made the comment about getting a group rate on the Admiral Wilson Boulevard and somebody said maybe at the clinic too!

During the Seventies and early Eighties my 2 favorite rides were my '65 Imperial Crown Coupe and my '58 Mercedes 220S sedan. Both were comfort at high speed!

@Dart Frog What year is yours. I have a '92. She's my third B350. 360, the only time I call it a 5.9 is at NAPA, 4 speed TF and 3.91 gears. I've had it for 100,000 miles or so and over 10 years. I live in southern New Jersey and for 6 years drove 300 mile round trip every month to a client in...

Looks like the dimple I had to put in my Milodon pan to clear the K-Member in the Max!

I have never autocrossed but I drive hard and fast on the street if you catch my, um, drift. Have you driven your car hard and fast? How does it feel going through a corner or curve? When you go hard through a right hander and the right side pops up and the left side drops do your sphincters...

A friend who raced Max Wedges back in the day said they never broke a ball and trunnion! My Max still has his.

@barbee6043 I am still trying to get my brother to buy your car that he learned to drive on. It looks like the one my parents had before the GT. 170 column shifter 3 speed. The shifter mechanism wore out and we installed a Hurst!

I am still hoping to find Mom's. '62 GT Green, green interior, 170, TF, last seen at the Dodge dealer in 1985 in Chestertown, MD when they traded it for a new K-Car!

Used them 3 times to run Max 300 miles round trip to Carlisle and back. And yes running at 70 was not an issue. I used the '92 Dodge B350 1 ton Church Van. I also used one to run Max to the repair shop on the other side of Philadelphia. I will not do that again. The Philly streets are not made...

Max has a 742 with 4.11s and I have a '64 on the shelf with a 741 with 3.55s in it just in case.

@matthon I had a friend who raced Maxes back in the day. He told me they never broke a Ball & Trunnion! And yes my Max still has the B & T and the tapered axles! They are part of his personality.

Remember Rule #1: Happy Wife happy life! All of my late Wife's cars were sticks. She knew how to drive a stick before I knew how to drive! The last 2 she bought, she had to fight with the salesman to get one!

I also lived near the car. I never stopped to talk to him but I would drive by to make sure the car was still there. Every so often, on a Saturday afternoon, he would light it off! And you knew.......

Nuthin' like a big block 4 speed A-Body! 40 years ago I drove one once and that's all it took.

Yeah, Uncle Lee lost me when he decided to scrap the big block tooling! Then they went to FWD only passenger cars. This is when nearly ALL police departments and state police had fleets of RWD Plymouths! So they had to go to Caprices and Crown Vics. I've become a van guy. You can fit more...

Old wrestling T-Shirts are hot right now. I take my stuff to a silent auction. It runs for a month, when you bid, you write down your number and a bid and at the end of the month they notify you if you've won anything. They put out old wrestling shirts and they got bid way up. My father was...

Max doesn't like it below 50 degrees anyway so I don't! My friend was there and said it was a bit of a cluster. He said the spectators were allowed in the staging area and were crowding around the cars as they were doing burnouts!

When the original owner of Max put the fenderwells in, he cut the fuel line halfway, then put on a short rubber hose and some copper tubing and ran it up to the fuel pump and wire tied the copper tubing to the torsion bar!

@68original Because I have a Max Wedge and I can too! Then you add fenderwell headers! Nuthin' like the sweet sound of a 4 barrel carburetor exceptin' if you have TWO 4 barrel carburetors!

Dad's 2 friends were rebuilding a Continental 226, with parts from a marine engine, that had not been properly winterized, for his big old wooden boat. The engine they were rebuilding had come out of a Kaiser. And, yes, they spent 2 or 3 days trying to figure out why the cam timing wasn't right...

A friend who has since passed raced Maxes when they were new and told me they never broke a ball and trunnion!

Be Careful, A-Body and B-Body are different. The A-Body is shorter, I think.

Yes, that was it and it never influenced me that much that I needed a motorcycle. I did follow the Steve McQueen example when I launched my '59 Plymouth wagon over a steep hill and bounced it! And blew the oil pan out of it, they didn't show that in Bullet!
