alright to start things off we got the 1973 Dodge Challenger Rallye 340 Four Barrel. that is water running out from under it because i just washed it like 5 minutes before i took those pictures. i bought it the summer of 2003. i was 15 at that time and didn't even have a licence. so it sat and my father drove it on the weekends. then i finally started driving it and the trany blew up.

As you see it now is five tranys and two motors later. The motor is a 1968 340 block that came with car when i bought it. i floated a valve and cracked the #7 cylinder wall. took it apart and looked for a new 340 block. now that was damn near impossable, so we had mine looked at and they said they could resleave it. so we bored it .060 over and put the new sleave in. new piston new rods new everything, stroker crank to bring the 340 out to 416ci with over 600 horse power. then we took some 360 heads bored them all the way out and ported and polished them. intake is 2.02 and exhaust is 1.85. but when we went to put the new motor in the car the headmen headers wouldn't fit so i left them off and they are under my bench still today and will go on some day. the rest of the exhaust is 3 inch to Hooker mufflers and 3 inch all the way out to the Rallye edition tips. the carb is a carter four barrel 850cfm.

Now the trany is a torque flight 727 slap stik 3 speed automatic. it has been rebuilt five times and needs the sixth as we speak. it has all B&M stage three shift kit and a few other stuff that even my own dad wouldn't tell me about.

the interior has the four Rallye guages with the MPH guage, tach, fuel oil alt and temp, and the clock. And i also have the 3 speed slap stick shifter. i have a Sony Explode deck (the pioneer deck is going in out of my other car asap.) in the dash i have two Bullet tweeters and in the rear window i have two Clarion 5x7 and in the trunk i have two Lanzar heritage 12's with a 2600 watt lanzar heritage amp powering all.

dustiny88's 1973 Dodge Challenger on the exterior is also the Rallye package which includes the fins on the side, the rallye hood and the exhaust tips. it should also have Rallye wheels but the baby moons were installed by the previous owner. it was painted about a year before i bought it and is a knock off of the "plum crazy purple". it is actually a custom purple that is a few shades darker. and the vinal top is pretty new.

not sure what else will update later on this car.

down below are pictures of thing i have fabricated. these are "Baja" bumpers that i made for two of my buddies and i have a third truck in the making right now with the front bumper, rear bumper, tailgate/tire holder, and shock hoops for the rear. if you live somewhere close and want something hit me up.

nice 73 man shes lookin good so far, i cant really tell how bad it is but i would do the body work and piant before sinking any money into the motor.. once she is llokin good then i would do some engine modds i prefer naturally aspirated engines over the turbo or supercharged though but either ways shes a beauty.. check out my mopar sometime and let me know what u think
