So, ive had this car for a bit, getting ready to start on her in the next few weeks.

the engine has been underway for the last few months...the heads are on the way back from Hughes for full CNC porting on the Stealth 440 source bare castings.

car was a sixer manual car from day one, and i plan on a TKO 600 for shifting duties.

ive received a bunch of new stuff from the prior owner, but it needs a ton of TLC.

this is the oldest Mopar ive ever tried to bring back, so ill be asking tons of questions along the way!

looking to make a car that could do a Power Tour, or get my *** to the office in a pinch if needs be, but still haul *** Mopar style of course!

Awesome! Keep us posted on the progress and keep pics coming.
 
Got my heads back from Hughes the other day, they look OK, but there was alot of hand blending, so either the 440 source heads are cast larger that Hughes dares to work, or the RPM heads are cast smaller, or the operator was chicken...lol

im sure im better off now VS the "as cast" situation.

heres are some before and after pics.
