RE: 1970 back up and running
Car is originally a 440. The car had been drag raced hard, and something bad happened along the way. The top of the passenger front shock tower was ripped through and the shock could be pushed up into the engine compartment. There was a bigger than hairline crack in the passenger front framerail. The rear pinion snubber had blown through the sheet metal under the back seat, the driver's rear shock was missing as the top sheet metal attachment had been ripped off from the unibody and the driver side rear axle was broken.
Some power eh? Power gone astray....
The replacement engine is a 440, from a 1972 Dodge motor home. Does not sound as glamorous as maybe from a Dodge police car, but a 440. On overhaul, it is bored .30 over and it runs its original stock Holley 4 bbl.
