Hi everyone!
Am Joe and just brought a 73 Challenger that I will be re-building to a 70 clone from Vanishing Point. It currently has a 340 with auto 727, that I will put a 440 with a TKO into it. This will be my second project, the first is my 60 Camaro with a 396. I plan on building my first engine- I pick up a 70 440 in the morning. I look forward to the build and hope you will work with me on this. Take care Joe
Pics will follow.
Here is what I got to start with;

Welcome!

 

Welcome aboard...if you need someone to take the 340 off your hands PM me. Otherwise ask me lots of questions since I build my own motors and am starting on my second 440. Nice car to start with.

 

Welcome to the forum! Great project!!

 

Welcome to the forum... Great project for sure!!!! Be sure to check out the Mopar of the Month contest......

 

Welcome looks like a solid piece of metal to start with

 

Welcome! Looks like a solid project

 

welcome to the forum glad to have you here

 

Welcome to our forums Joe hope you stay and have a good time here , ask questions and im sure we can answer them all

 

Thanks for the welcomes, Am very excited about this project, and will have you all on quick reference. I just picked up m 440 this weekend, it is a 71 and I will take it apart after the holiday to see excatly what will need to be done. I will keep everyone posted. Semper Fi

 

Looks like a nice solid body to start with

 

looks pretty solid from what i can see of your pic's <> have you poked any holes in it or is it all just pretty much surface scale other then that its a fine car to start with

 

Mainly surface area, not sure what lies under the vinyl top, but rest is simple. I am very excited to get this under way, will start with the enigne- I picked up Friday a 71 440- my first engine build.

 

cool project any idea what your going to do with the old 340 in there?

 

I got first dibbs...

 

Sorry part of the sell, was once I put the 440 in I will return the engine and tranny back to the guy I got it from. Seems like the 340 is a popular enigne???
