Pulled the 360 and trans out of my 74 Challenger last weekend, assembling my 440 next week ( needs a roller chain, ported 906's installed and change the front/ rear seals in a 727 that came out of my Cuda before we put the reverse man valve body trans in it. The 440 with stock 452's and a mild RV grind cam was pretty stout in a 65 Fury I had, can't wait to see what it does with ~500 lbs less weight with the ported heads and a much bigger Hyd cam...
I may need to put the STR-14 Sixpack manifold on it.
We have some cancer to fix on the firewall after stripping the bay of electrical wires for paint, probably going to keep it B-5 Blue. I was thinking I need to snap some pictures and start a thread for the car folks here.

My friend who sold me the Cuda couldn't find the chrome aircleaner, so he had it done at a shop, looks wicked with the huge cleaner but hides the 3-2's.
I have an original "cheese grater" cleaner but have a K&N to replace it.
Roger, how many cubes will the 440 block end up with? Still going stroker 500" ?

Dave, just finish it up and ship it to me so it's not cluttering up your place any more.

I inventoried the project last night, made some calls on some parts, planned for Saturday's work.
It's time to dust off the tin chicken and resume progress.
From the tin shop I have on order a pair of fender repair patches, one drivers side floor pan, one rocker repair panel and a pair of frame conectors to stiffen the car up.
From classic industries comes a new carpet, a white vinyl top, some trim clips and numerous other do dads and bits.
From ebay, weatherstripping and window felts.
Stay tuned for some actual work to resume.

I believe a couple of years ago I started on the 65 mustang in.. April? And I was done in June. That was tear down, sand to bare metal, body work, glass, repaint, cut/buff, weatherstripping etc.. A lot of the stuff that I have ahead of me right now and I have a jump on it with this one having all the paint sanded off and a big jump on the body work. I'll be cruisin in June. (fingers crossed)

I've got an engine to do along with the body, paint, and a new top. Mine will take a wee bit longer I thinks, plus I'm not the body artiste you are...

That's it! I'm ordering parts at lunch for the '78. The quicker I get it done, the quicker I can start on the '55.

If I get my arse in gear, It could be up and going by 4th of July or so. In primer. Paint this fall/winter. Plan is to sell it and buy one worthy of keeping. This one would need many more thousands put in it for me to want to hang on to it for a long time. Next one will be better, and a long box so I can actually buy a box for it.

Short box is a good snow plow rig for cleaning areas where you need to turn tight. Other than that.... They look cool I guess.
