Looks like I'm 3rd!

[piwo440]

My 66 isn't done yet, but getting there.

Bought it a few years back from Kentucky and trailered here to Wisconsin. The previous owner must have wanted a 2nd gen Charger because of all the crap he did to this car including 2nd gen dash cluster, hubcaps, side markers, seats, script on the left headlamp door, etc....

Not going to be an OE restoration, but going to look OE. Was an original 383/727 car with ZZ1 citron gold exterior and P4W white interior and going back to that.

Original 383 has been pulled and replaced with a 71 400 block, bored and stroked to 469.

More info by request or at least when it isn't so late!

Bryan

 

[piwo440]

Depends... when is that going to be? lol Yea, plan is this summer! Once my tax returns come back I'm buying the heads and torque convertor along with everything else to get the motor and trans dumped in.

 

[A383Wing]

Just giving ya crap, Ron.....you know it.

But the way my health issues have been going the last couple months...one never knows

Bryan

 

[bobs66440]

D*mn Ron, that engine is like total freaking jewelry right there...

...and what a transformation on the car...wow.

 

[Greg Ducato]

Very cool, can't wait to see it finished

 

[Gpuller]

Ron did you decide on heads?
That thing was kind of a mess before you started! ha ha ha

 

[piwo440]

Yea, big mess!

Going to use the 440source Stealth heads. Bolting them on out of the box to get the car on the road before Bryan kicks the bucket. Then down the line I will have some work done to them.

Yes Bryan, I know you're just messing with me... I do have a sense of humor!
