Hello friends!,
I'm excited to join the community with my 2nd Mopar, and first B Body. I'm a long-time auto enthusiast (primarily Ford), former performance shop owner. I have a lot to learn about B Bodies and hopefully can offer my mechanical and tuning experience.
At the end of August I picked up a 1967 GTX clone, built from a 1967 Sport Satellite. The build is really close to the real deal - 440 swap, all the right paint and badging inside and out, 150 mph speedo, console tach, and pit stop gas cap. Even the rear leaf springs were matched to 6 on drivers side and 7 on passenger. Only missing pieces are Dana 60 and front sway bar. The car is a 4-speed and delivers all the right feels and sounds. Honestly, if it were a real GTX, my OCD might prevent me from taking it out and enjoying it. Every time I drive the '67, I feel like I'm tagging along with a rock star - people go wild over it!
I've already swapped out the 600 cfm carb for a 750 (Edelbrock Performer) and finding the mechanical tuning to be a really smooth transition from my background in ECU tuning. I'm absolutely loving the mechanical/electrical simplicity and how easy it is to access the engine bay.
I look forward to getting to know the community and sharing my journey!
