Greetings from sunny Arizona! I just picked up my 1973 Dodge Challenger with the original 318 (92,000 original miles), 3 speed slapstick auto, lime green (for now) about a week ago. It runs pretty good, though needs some little work here and there...I was thinking of getting a new one, but this fell into my lap at a great deal, so I couldn't pass it up. Besides, the old ones are much easier to work on, right?? Anyway, I'll post some pic's of it in the next few days, and try to keep a running tally of it's "rebirth." Thanks for the site, and I look forward to getting some greasy and some good advise!!

Thats a cool ride! The 72 and up Challys dont get the props they should! I would drop in a 340 or crate motor however for a little more umph!

 

Welcome to the forum....enjoy your 73, as they have a lot of protental....
What part of Arizona are you from?

 

Hello and welcome

 

Thanks all. Right now I'm living in Yuma, AZ. I'm going to keep the 318 that's in it, just ordered a new intake/carb for it, try and fix it up some, and see what I can come up with.

 

Funny I was just reading an old Mopar Muscle magazine and they had a build up on the venerable 318! A simple cam swap and some flow basics can make it a pretty rockin powerplant!
