find something cheap and close to where you live to keep the cost down. i like f, j, and m bodies myself for their style and because they are not huge bucks to buy. there are a lot of a body cars from the mid 70's to choose from too. guess it depends what you like. these cars were not factory bb cars, but you can make your 440 work in them- there is info on this site about these kinds of swaps. post and tell what kind of car you find.

I agree with JoeDirt, stick it in an A-body and show everyone your tail lights! The early (63-66) abodies can still be found reasonably cheap. They are light, and go like stink with a BB in them! Pre-70`s `Cudas are based on the abody platform and came with BB power from Ma Mopar. Schumacher Creative Services makes motor mounts to put a BB in an abody.
