I am a Chevy guy that just bought my first Mopar. It is a 68 Coronet 440 project car.
It is complete but everything needs work. The original 318 and auto trans is all there but,was already pulled out when I got the car. I am not going for an original restoration or a race car but,I am not sure the 318 can live up to my expatiation. I want a nice driver when I get finished with it. I am still doing a lot of research on my motor options with what I have or to put big block in it. It would be cool to have the original engine in it though.

Welcome Jim!

Looks like you have a good project there. Plenty of good resources here to research with!

Love Tennessee too!
 
Welcome. I agree with KK, love Tennessee.That's a good project car. You have lots of options with 68 and 9 Coronets. Their awesome cars
 
Welcome to the site, ah don't go big block you can get plenty out of a small block and be lighter and better fuel and cheaper to maintain. I love small block cars I have a big block 440 4 speed charger and a small block 340 4 speed I would and do pick the small block car every time it moves better and isn't behind to much on power it's more fun .
But it's your car your coming from a Chevy so just about anything will be faster ! Get your self a semi hemi! 318 poly I think stock h.p. is around 330 HP someone correct me on the actual number
 
Welcome to den,fromCanada!With a small block you could come in about 3700lbs, not a lot different than a chevelle, they always worked well with a small block. just piick the cubic dollars you want to spend,273 to 440 all in small block form.
 
Sweet project. The 68's rock. Welcome to FBBO. Best on the net!
