Hiya,
Got a guy up here selling a 440 Big Block and 4 speed Tranny out of a 1984 Dodge Truck for 1000 bucks. Looks pretty rough (from the pics) but says it runs and drives just fine (still in the truck for test drives, but it's over an hour away from my place and would like some input before making the trip to check it out). I was thinking of Picking this up for my 74 318 Road Runner and putting that in there since the 74 318 Road Runner's were a common thing and not really high up on the Value List. This isn't going to be a by the numbers Restoration on My Road Runner and will eventually be my Daily Driver once I get a motor and tranny in it.
Would a 440 Big Block be worth the 1000 bucks if it does run and purr like a kitten??? I don't have the cash on hand but will see if he will take payments on it or hold it for me till I do run up the cash.
Thanks for any input.
