New MOPAR guy here!

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 CASH NO OBJECT !!!!!!

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

1970ccc 12-06-2016 12:44 PM

At least a 383!

Iowan 12-06-2016 12:59 PM

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
Ron

good luck and welcome I'm new but you have come to the right place

TVLynn 01-17-2017 05:51 PM

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...
