Which engine do you have in that and what engine are you looking to get in replacement?
My Dakota has 90K on it with the 4.7 in it. It's served me well for the last couple of years and hopefully many more to come.
Yes it's a 70 Challenger with the 440 6pack non orginal. It's just time for a major rebuild, The engine hasn't been touched it 10years except for the usual stuff. For the price of crate motors, I could rebuild half of the engine the way I want it (the heads and stroker kit alone are about 3K) I would rather by a crate for about 7K complete and have my spare to rebuild. I plan on getting a 500 or so stroker and then putting my intake/carbs on top of it.
