I agree I love the gasser but not everyones cup of tea ( or beer or sodapop!). I am sure IF researched here on FABO there is info on putting a 440 in a 63 Dart! I know people have put 383 in those to get the dist. away from firewall/wiper. I also know people that have cut a small hole in...

'69 Cudas and Darts came factory with 440 and auto. M code was it and NOT too many made. I never heard anything about them changing the floor for such. But early A's are way smaller there than 67-9 A's/

We are in the sticks and only pallets here are 40 x 48 which is way big, but the forks on the lift have to of course, get in the pallet. I will call local Fastenal and see if they have a smaller pallet. Years ago a FABO member sent me a torqueflite on a pallet but I don't recall any details...

I need to ship Fastenal/ Does Fastenal actually weigh the darn thing or will they just assume this weight close enough?? I really have more to do than make a couple of trips to a scale for exact weight.

I need to ship and need the approximate (cloe) . complete '64 383 intake to pan with original exh. manifold and flywheel. Thanks all

My cars have NO rust , good paint...NO headliner as I give a crap about that..they run good and I did all the work because I am old, woreout, 76 and NOT lazy nor that stupid, and have always had the DESIRE> Yes I do it all except machine work and always find a motor than runs decent without...

Back in the late 80s I gave $1000 for a solid and almost rust free, running 318 Challenger with a 440 transplant. Did I give a little too much? Loved that car! No rust, a couple of small floorboard holes I patched, and drove it 30 miles to a shop for exhaust with no mufflers! BUT every...

5-6 decades I workees 2-3 jobs and all weekends to find old Mopar projects, just to clean, get it running and sell it to pay for what I more wanted and be ahead a LITTLE< and to LEARN since I could not affrd to just gopay someone. Mopar LIFE was a hoot back then.. Was then and still now...hard...

I agree. That is I agree with big block!!!!!!!! Screw the cost of strokers for us little guys!!!! But I am not made of $$$$$$. I rather piece together any big blokc for anything it fits in/ I admit to owning 50 times more big blocks than any c i small block, but I go back 5 decades and...

Don't recall but I have had dozens of 68-9 RoadRunners, Bees with 383s and all had manual steering! I had a 69 383 Bee with a 4 speed and manual steering AND AC!!! It was unmolested original. The GTX's usually had PS. Had a 69 Bee hemi car manual steer and brakes. Back when men were men...

I had an original 67 383 Cuda and PO installed oversize front sway bars, it rode like on rails....... fastly!! I have no idea nor care about AC. I prefer manual steering on Mopars.

I guess if the TransDapt bracket does the job and who will see it except some dude crawling under someones car at the "car show"!??/ then all is well!

I'm glad to see we at least have a choice!!! Glad the Schumacher is back by who ever owns the company now!!??!!

Answer to OP question: Chevy A body.

Back in thr 90s I had a 67 Cuda #s 383 4 speed car. I had a huge front sway bar. highway gear. I drove it from Ca. to Mo. and all around when I got back home. I would not have traded it for a 340 but thats just me.

The 273 can be a very capable engine. We all have the bigger is better sryndrone and the grass on other side of the fence is taller and greener! Funny how back in SW Ga, 1966 the fastest car in the rural 1/4 mi drags in that whole area ( and part further out too) was a 289 4 speed '65...

$8000 don't go that far anymore. Must be inflation !!

I agree. I don't always do the best work or make the smartest decisions, some will say, but I do what I can and am usually satisfied....thats what counts. I don't have to be the fastest, the biggest, the best... happy will do! Decades ago, a young guy moved to Mo. from Ia. just down the...

You are right...I did not watch the video!!!!

It is simply a thinker block, it has a certain cast number, I forget what. Hard to find and IF the seller knows what he has, it can bring more $$$. Not gold plated though. Building a bigger more inch 440 is probably more "in" today.

That "secret" has been out a few decades or so. I need an affordable big block for 64 Savoy build. Any. If the running 383 does not materalize, I have a bud close by, with a complete 400. That will get the nod. Only affordable 440 core I have found is a stuck RV engine 6 hours away, one way...

I told a tire kicker once, please be damn sure the gate does not hit him in his *** on the way out!!

I would rethink using that in the Duster. Better served in an early hot rod like your dad intended. IMHO Get used hood...paint it. Engine mounts/brackets, trans bracket all that will need to be fabbed. That engine is heavy. What will you use for a transmission? The early ones would have...

I admit I am thrilled the OP can point out all m imperfections I have accumulated during all my years. :lol:

Had Chevies with that issue!!!! I don't drive Chevies anymore!

From the SE Tx Pneywoods. There is NO shortage of pine timber, mills have been running as usual, NO big China bug problem in the countryside. The shortage and PRICE is all BS! It is simply demand on lumber and plywood, IMO. Shortage and problem with other areas like aluminum and...

I have paid $500 for a good running ones 10 years agao, and now I see some can be had here as cores for $500. Time marches on. Tx. is higher than Mo. too. Less its running, it is a core!... price depends on location and how easy the buyer is to get $$$$ out of! That why gas is higher...

Hey man, I am allergic to friggin cedar pollen!!!!! I would not give 2 cents for the million acre Sam Houston National Pine Forest here! Anything East of I 40 should be made part of La!!!

There is NO shortage of pine timer/lumber/mills right her in SE Texas. There has been a huge increase in demand for lumber ever sine the Covid deal sent people home and the homeowner has been looking for projects to do to keep busy as we all know. The trucking industry has been hit with...

^^^^^ Was it not the great Colonel Sanders that said " There is nothing better in life, than a bucket of his chicken and a pasture full of old Mopars"!????
