1970ccc

Just traded my 1965 Impala for a 1970 Belvedere (GTX tribute car) and can't wait to begin working on the 318 engine. The car is all original, numbers matching, and was stored in a container for 25 years. Previous owner just painted it and made it a tribute car. I would prefer that is was a Roadrunner, but we'll see what happens. So goodbye Chevy Talk, hello Mopar forums.

Expect many questions for the B body guys!

So how big of a big block are you building, as long as it's tribute you might as well go all the way! CASH NO OBJECT !!!!!!

Welcome to the site.............

Good eye! I'm trying to get the 318 running, but will start looking for the 383 soon!

Don't limit yourself to just a 383 IT may be easier to find a 400 low deck or a 440 out of a motorhome

TV, will a stock Belvedere be able to handle a 440? in other words, will it fit? Motor mounts same? Will the K member handle it?
thanks

It will do fine with a 440 after all they were available with a 440 even a Hemi
You do need to change the trans too...

Going by your other posts it looks like you're getting familiar with your mopar.
