Have a 70 Roadrunner I purchased 2 years ago. Been toying with the idea of converting over to a Gen II Crate Hemi. Money is tight and wondering what my 383 would be worth if I tried to sell it after I purchased and installed the Hemi, the 383 runs great. Would include the exhaust manifolds, intake, carb, dist., coil, spark plug wiring, alternator, maybe even the A/C compressor, etc.....Runs great. Was rebuilt in 2002 and has I would say less then 3000 - 4000 miles on it since the rebuild, I have 3 other "classic's" so I pretty much try and take them all out at least once a week during the summer so I have not really put to many miles on it. The person I bought the RR from had 4 other cars and rarely drove the RR.
Not the original motor. Somewhere in it's history the motor got changed.
Reason for the upgrade.....have always wanted to own a Hemi Mopar...if I don't at least try now it will never happen...can't afford an original Hemi car.

Thanks
