Hey guys,
New to the site and wanted to start a build thread here for a father/son project we just picked up.
First, a little backstory:
We purchased this car out of Hannah, SC last week. The previous owner had the car for 15 years stored in a warehouse, in the same condition it is in now. He bought the car from an older gentleman who had this 1966 charger, and another 1967 charger. The previous owner was also given his choice of engines when he bought the car, and decided to take the 440 rather than the 383 that was originally in the car.
Along we come.
We checked out the car, and it looked solid. He had disassembled the engine and it was all stored in random boxes in a trailer. After running all of the numbers on the block, heads, intake......turns out he actually had the original 383 that came with the car.
We have big plans for this car, and it will end up being my brother's first car. I will try to keep the tread up to date as we make progress on the car. I'm juggling another project at the moment (putting a 302 in a 1967 Volvo P1800), but hopefully the Charger will go smoothly!
