Hi there! I'm a die hard Mopar fan and have had a couple Mopars growing up. Unfortunately, two of them were when I was too young to know what I had. I just picked up a '71 Scamp yesterday that is an original 318 car, 8 3/4 rear w/ 2.76 gear, 904 tranny, a/c. The previous owner put a 4 bbl on it and changed the gear to a 3.55, but other than that it's completely original. Has three rust spots (two where the vinyl top used to be) on an otherwise solid body. It's going to be a street/strip machine when I'm done with it. Picked it up for $2000 and drove it 30 miles home and it honestly rides better than my wife's '05 Ranger!
This is an awesome forum, but you guys have already given me a headache... when I got the car I was convinced I was gonna stuff a big block in it but after reading what you guys have done with small block strokers, now I'm not sure... thanks alot! LOL. I know I will be looking for buckets to change out for the bench front, which if anyone wants to possibly trade the bench that is in it now is in ok shape (ripped where the driver sits but that's it). Talk to y'all soon!

The smallblock versus bigblock debate will always exist, with proponents on both sides with very valid arguments. I've owned both, but nowadays I stick with the small blocks in my A bodys.
