Happy New Year everyone - reducing to 80K. Let me know if any more pictures are needed. Taking out to make a driving video tomorrow.

U tube walk around;

Took some more pictures today

Hate to do this because I'll never find another one this nice, but needs prevail. 1969 Super Bee. It maintains all it's original 383 look but there is a 440 six pack stoked out to 496 producing a little over 550 HP under the hood. It's a 4-speed car. I recently added a borgeson steering box...

I used a stock pistol grip shifter off a 833 and it worked perfect. I love it - the shifting range seemed like 6" compared to over a foot for the 833. Have pictures on a conversion I authored - look at page 2. 5.7 Hemi Engine swap on 70 RR (Project)

When I was a young puppy I worked in an engine rebuilding shop for VW. You could always tell an engine that was serviced with QS or Penns oil - they were always gummed up and dirty (didn't matter if car was services regularly). Had to put the parts in a bat for a day and then steamed cleaned...

Been using old oil and adding a few wood chips to keep the noise (knocking) down...

Forgot to mention - I upgraded my leaf springs also so if wanted the springs goes with it.

I pulled this original rear out of my 69 Super Bee. Upgraded the car from a 383 / 4 speed to a 496 stoker/550 HP 6 pack motor, and thought I needed a dana 60 for the rear. I was told it had 3.23 gear (not verified, but can if wanted). Can also look at gear case number, but believe it's a 489...

Nice motor - wish you were closer. Would be nice to replace the 383 in my Dart. Good luck in RI - hope the best for you and your family...

Thanks for all the input - guess the hood scopes stays...

Think I would just need hood and black wheels. Originally a 383 4 speed SB. Now has 496 stroker 6 pak. Doing a dana 60 rear, upgrading brakes from drums to power disk and installing a Borgeson ps.

Got some plates/insurance for the Dart yesterday and am going to start driving it once in a while. Will try to get a video of it in operation. This should be a fun ride - can't wait.

I have to check the gear ratio and report back. Took some new picture the other day.
