Ok slow to finally get pictures on here of my 71 twister. Bought 2 years ago last week. It’s an original 318 3 speed (?) car. Now has a 69 year 340 4 speed with 3.55 gears in it. It’s a fun little car. The motor has been gone through and pumped up a little. The previous owner would run it at an 1/8 mile track in his hometown in Iowa. It ran consistent very low 8’s there. I have talked to the last 3 owners. The 3rd owner back bought it from the original family. It was still in its original paint etc. He repainted it in ‘89 in the same color and stripes. I have done some upgrades since I bought it.

A few pictures of the engine bay re-do and disc brake conversion. Engine got a regasket and a few new items as long as it’s out! A simple oil leak turned into a little more than just that! Lol.

I’m hoping to put some new carpet in as well as the new S/S springs I got for it. Maybe a couple other trinkets but nothing big.

I bet you do! They are fun cars and getting somewhat hard to find anymore that are clean. I have had this one for a couple years now. Have lots over the years though and this one is a keeper so far!
 
340mike,
Like the way you took your 340 engine / engine bay back to the "Stock Look" !

Nicely prepped, primed, and complete paint all Orange, such a great engine detailing and engine bay.
Ma Mopar would be proud . . . Even the Stock Mopar Radiator, awesome look.

Thank you Casey. I am happy with how It turned out! Finally nice here in Mn over the weekend to get it out of the garage and let it soak up some sun. Just didn't leave the driveway, Lol. Still so much crap on the roads.
