I didn't see any either, but not surprized because I understand you need one big *** crowbar to make one fit.

Well that's a bummer. I don't own a big crowbar, but was hoping a 383 might be in my B'Cuda's future.

Yeah, you did miss one; post 142. However, I guess I didn't post a photo of the engine in the car so here you go. Still in the process of building.

500ci 440 w/Max Wedge Port Stage VI heads. Lakewood Scattershield and 4-speed are behind it now. Plans to put a Quicktime bellhousing and Viper 6-speed later; you can see the 6-speed sitting by the right rear wheel well.

Not really. I don't think it will be that bad once I remove the inner fenders and tie the roll cage to the front frame rails while tying into the upper shock towers.

Your rightbrad4406, I should have said a cutting torch and welder

Here ya go, almost there.

beautiful hotrod. a couple quick questions, i noticed the rear coil overs are close together. is there a reason for their placement? what size slicks are they?

 

[Purple Haze]

Thanks, don't think so, guess it's because of the frame rails that were used back when it was done. When it was done it had 33X21.5 x15 M/T on it, so the frame rails are close together too. They look a lot closer then they are in that pic.The slicks are 32X14x15 Goodyears.

Nice ride, what headers do you have?

 

[Ontos]

Next year after my garage gets expanded, gonna put this (after a rebuild)

In this....

I'm tempted to leave it looking like a total POS and keeping the exhaust as quiet as possible

They are Pro Parts, that I had Jet Hot coated.

either way, its beautiful. your car helped inspire me to start thinking about a big block swap into my duster.

 

[383demon]

This is the Magazine's Project car I believe.

Don't know who it is, but that Fish is bad *** looking!!

If you get a chance to get a November '11 issue of Hemmings Muscle Machines, they did a nice article on the car.

Here's mine, a long ways to go...

not a traditional big block, but a big block none-the-less
