Early Heads Up CPW Spring Fling

[1 Wild R/T]

Well I happened to get the prototype flyer for Spring Fling, the text & what not needs fine tuning but the important part, the show dates are correct... So I thought it might help others to plan ahead....

 

[Kern Dog]

I wonder if I can have THIS ready in time?

I have engines, transmissions, alternators and starters....I'll need to build a wire harness for the engine side or buy one. I will need an intake for either a 383 or a 440. I have a '71 440 I pulled from a Chrysler 300 over 10 years ago. It ran fine then. I could slip in a 2.94 open diff for the drive. I wouldn't have time for bodywork and paint but I'm sure I'll have it running and driving before then. That is 4 1/2 months. I am out of work at the moment but if I get some far away, long commute job, all bets are off.

I wouldn’t put money on it. Don’t forget Track Day at Willow Springs the Thursday before.

I may have to join the EXCUSE CROWD and bring the new Challenger if I can’t figure out the Coronet.

 

[Kern Dog]

To get this car running well enough to be reliable means I'd need pretty much everything to go right from here. No problems finding parts, no problems finding all the unique bolts and brackets, etc.
It can be done.....But will it?
I guess we will see.

Problems with the fuel system?

Grocery list now. Trying to squeeze another year out of the 440. 90k. Not easy miles.
Quart to a thousand, nefarious clutch fan, replaced the rods, can’t make a simple add so putting factory valve covers back on etc.....

 

[Darter6]

Always something that needs done.
Haven't been there in years. Bought a 63 2 door post Valiant the last time about 10-12 years ago.
Maybe this year.

Well, time to go all in and get a 392crate for it. You will go faster than you ever dreamed so you won't miss the Hellcat or the ton of extra $$$ that would cost.

I REALLY want to do the track day again this year. Anyone else??

My Blown 5.7 could probably walk the 440. But, there is nothing like the low end torque right now at 900 rpm that the big block has. Creates more fear. And smoke. That’s the best part.

I’ve emailed my CPW contact for the AirTel discount code. Will respond with them then.

Yeah, in 71 I was a military brat @ Incirlik AFB... But by 77 I joined the Navy since I'd already seen air bases all around the world... Thanks for your service.. Yeah, if you can get out here early the Thursday event at Willow Springs road course day looks awesome, the Friday cruise is always a great time & the show Saturday & Sunday is always a good time...

 

[Ernie ingling]

Will keep you posted would love to be there and join the festivities. Be nice to get some b bodies together and let the bs flow
