Wtb: Big block car. Not a project. Not a rust bucket. 10,000. Maximum budget.

Your thread title and your post don't match. Looking for a 440 or for a car?

Car with a 440 already in it or that has had one in it. I have 2 440's and an early 400. Sorry it's titled wrong. Don't know how to change it.

Not going to let any of my big block cars go, but I could pull drivetrain on this one and we would be close. You wouldn't need much to convert. I have an A body 8 3/4 housing and brakes hardware and a big block radiator with dual fans I would toss in. Build is on here.

Thanks, I've found and bought a A body Cuda. Smallblock for now. I have plenty of engines.

Shipping would break me. I do se by your photos that you have both good taste,and you do good work. Usually I just build my own. I'm thinking about a low buck home grown 451 for a better fit. Btw, what size tires and wheels are on that Dart?

I will have my wife take a look. I am still out of the country. I want to say the fronts are 15/205/? The rears are a bit taller. Stock police wheels have a 4.5" backspace if I remember correctly and you will catch the fender on a turn with stock front end.

Agree on you 400 based motor. I put the 496 stroker (383) in the Demon. Dropped in like it belonged there. Crazy TQ and HP potential. I put electric cut out on it so I can play at the the track occasionally. But I mostly baby my cars.
