Hey all,

Dave from Brooklyn NY here, just acquired my first ever mopar car...
1973 Dodge Charger, numbers matching 318, 727( I think.? ) and an 8.25 rear...

Gonna be needing all your help; as I plan on going all out and building a daily driver that can keep up, corner and stop like today's cars...

Its nice to have finally found the magic of mopar!!!

Trans is probably a 904, they usually came behind a 318 with a 8.25 out back

Hey - thanks... The trans and engine are freshly rebuilt, engine with a mild cam ..

Is the 904 trans any good?

 

[Bb70charger500]

The 904 is a great trans unless you got some big hp . The 904 is plenty strong enough for any small block making less then 400hp .
By the way congratulations on the charger lets see some pictures . Any ?'s feel free to pm and ask away I have 4 71-74 charger s right now.

No complaints here on the 904. Treated me great through the years.

Last one is semi cleaned up and home.

She sat for a long long time in a body shop.

Body was done to perfection but due to being neglected I have to go over some areas ..

Has minor rust underbody - and on the K-Frame, which I'd like to remove and go with aftermarket.

I do have my work cut out for me.. Luckily, I can do most of if it if not all of it on my own.. With you guys helping along the way !

Rule #1 - Never drywall in the vicinity of your car!
Rule #2 - Do not turn the heater blower on!
Rule #3 - A regular face respirator is not going to cut it!
Rule #4 - Do not wear good clothes or a suit or take your wife/girlfriend for a drive until after 5000 miles at 80 m.p.g.

 

[NoJoke73]

Yeah... That's funny ... I'll take it into consideration ... Thanks !!
