Looks cool,
I've got a friend with a 62, it's a E/SA car and has run a legal 10.60. What are your plans for the car? |
fix all the rust, freshen up the 383 and maybe street/strip. and if the body work is good enough take it to some car shows. even if body work isn't that great, may still take it to car shows. white hides alot of flaws. i want to sell the 383 and put in a 440, but one of my sons wants to keep the motor. my cousin told me it's a numbers matching 383 for a 68 roadrunner.
|
You could stay with the 383 but add a stoker kit. I like father son projects, how old are your boys?

Also Post it here in the parts wanted section....
Hemmings motor news.... http://www.dvap.com/ E-Bay You Just never know when one will pop up.... |
Hood & Trunk Lid
If timing isn't a problem, then wait and go to "Spring Carlisle" in Carlisle, Pa. 4/20 thru 4/24/2016. -- And/Or -- "Chryslers At Carlisle" 7/15 thru 7/17/2016.. -- The July event is probably your best chance to find something. -- There's also a big events in Charlotte N.C. (Charlotte Auto Fair) 4/7 thru 4/10/2016, and "The Mopar Nationals" in Columbus 8/12 thru 8/14/16 -- You should find something at one of these events. -- Sound like you guys are in Ohio, if so then all of these places are reasonably within your reach.

Might also Check a few of these out.....

After some extensive research. That big hole is suppose to be there. Just when you look at from that view it looks busted. After we took timing chain off, it's actually part of the casting. Must be channel for oil to lubricate timing chain.

I thought it was time for a 440!
|
Going on a road trip with the boys on the 14th of this month down to Columbus Ohio. There's a 6th Annual Ohio Mopar Expo Swap Meet and Car Corral for Chrysler, Plymouth, Dodge and related vehicles, Ohio Expo Center & State Fair, Rhodes Building, 717 E. 17th Ave., 43211, 9am-4pm, indoor swap and corral space available.
try our luck there. |

My cousin has informed me that its a numbers matching engine for a '68 roadrunner. |
