Gf got me a new shirt!

Then i gotta get the front squared up. Looks like its been "tweaked" a bit to,the drivee side. Radiator support has a bend at the top that doesnt look correct, wasnt sure if the K member engine mounts are supposed to be offset a little bit?

Went to pick n pull this last weekend, 50% off everything sale!, found a 72 d100, got some 346 heads to replace the 440 motor home 213s and a 489 case to build later on. Not sure on cam yet, open to suggestions, still reading as much as possible on low compression builds. Plan is to replace...

Way late up dates! Still at it. Its been slow trying to figure a plan of attack! And although I knew this Sport Satellite needs alot of work to get it up to par, I'm building it for me! She is a bit rough and I'm sure I could have found something a little more solid but doesnt every mopar...

Well finally got the motorhome to a friends house and started to disassyble. Between the rain and snow itd slowed progress down but finally got the 440 out and on the engine stand. Even got my dad out there giving me a hand one day.

Also can anyone tell me if there is a way to tell if its cast or forged crank?

Not too much going on. Got a free 1973 Dodge motorhome with a 440. Shows only 27 k original miles. I know these motors are low compression so pistons will be replaced. Thinking stealth, sidewinder or rpm heads. Lots to read and plan out but will keep updating!

Unfortunately the trunk mat is gone. And yes, this is staying a Sport Satellite!:D

Thanks for the advice! So far its just been engine work but when disassembly happens I will make sure to bag/tag everything and lots of pics. Grass Valley is in between Sacramento Ca. And Lake Tahoe

Thanks everyone! Plan is to keep it a Sport Sat. No gtx cloning. Might try and find some buckets seats to put back in it but fine with the bench seat for now. If I can get the intake valves unseized, have em soaking in MMO, I plan on driving the 318. If not might go for a 440/4 speed swap. The...

She shows only 61k miles, seems to be true seeing how clean the engine valley is. On the 68's where would the casting marks be to verify if this is the original engine or not?

Haha thanks! Yes big things in the future I hope! I think she's a keeper, perfect timing seeing it come up for sale as I had just sold my 31' Tudor sedan model a and my 70' chevelle, both project cars but my driveway was looking too empty. Always wanted a mopar but seeing some of the higher...

Thanks everyone! Yes its nice here in the foothills. Rollins, Scotts Flat and Englebright lake are all great fishing! Can't wait to get this thing goin! Will be my DD once its up to par, granted my commute is only 10min through town lol
