There is a 1966 imperial at the metal scrap yard about a half mile from my house. I was thinking of making an offer on the drivetrain and building it gradually over the winter since it's got a 440/727/8 3/4 . It ran recently but not now and I'm sure the guy got it to scrap so he doesn't have but tow bill into it. When I was a kid we used these imperial and c body cars for donor cars and it usually worked out good and cheap. Times have changed tho and I'm sure it will just be a core parts car but around my area there are no other options. Minimum drive to wrecking yards are 2 hours + then parts are still hard to come by and cost a lot when found. I originally wanted to bb my 68 baracuda notch but my son talked me into buying a running 360 engine. So my questions are. .what would a good offer be? Would the rear end be a good candidate for narrowing? I've asked around about 8.8 explorer rears and my gf just about flipped. She said. No ford rear in our mopar...omg I laughed and laughed..any other thoughts on what parts I might need or issues or if it's even worth it as im on a small budget and this is how we used to go fast on the cheap.thanks
