This is my 1973 Cuda. It was originally a 340 automatic car, but is currently sporting a built 440. I'm currently in Iraq, so I don't remember all of the performance goodies making up the motor at this time. It is producing nearly 500 HP. It has the 8 3/4 rear and subframe connectors have been welded in.
I found that the original Ebay description was still available so here are some more specs:
Motor: The engine is a 440 ('69 block) bored 0.040" over. It has Keith Black Hypereutectic pistons; forged factory crank; rods modified for pin oiling (floating pistons) rotating assembly balanced; Mopar Performance Stage V heads (bowl ported, polished with bronze guides installed for 11/32" stem SS valves; Hughes cam, lifters and springs; Pro Gear timing Competition Cams titanium retainers; Crane aluminum roller rockers (1.6); Crane 3/8" pushrods; Mopar Performance Manifold; Holley 850 carb; MSD distributor, Blaster 3 coil, Digital 6 Plus ignition box; Fluidampr Harmonic Balancer; aluminum pulleys (street rod ration NOT under-driven); Milodon low profile 7 qt pan, 1/2 inch oil pick up (Hemi style), windage tray; Hooker Super Competition headers (Jet Hot coated, but flaking); 2 1/2" aluminized sxhaust with Flowmasters and equalizing tube; Mopar Performance mni starter; Mopar Performance sluminum water pump housing and aluminum 26" 4 row radiator. All internal bolts used ARP or new Mopar Performance. All exterior bolts are ARP Stainless Steel. The engine was rated at approximately 500 HP.


Transmission: The transmission is a 727 that was rebuilt when the engine work was done. It has a brand new Dynamic 11" converter that was installed two years ago, a Mopar Performance deep pan, and B&M cooler.

Chassis and body: The chassis on this car is very solid. Sub-frame connectors were installed in 2004. They weld to the front and rear sub-frames and also to the rear floor pans -- VERY SOLID. It has an 8 3/4 rear end Auburn Pro Differential (installed in 2003) and 3.23:1 gears. The rear springs are Mopar Performance Competition front and rear hangers and the long Mopar Performance shocks are installed. The torsion bars were replaced. New upper control arms and a new power steering box were installed along with upper and lower ball joints. The front end has been rebuilt with new tie rods (inner and outer), new sleeves, and new pitman arm bushings were replaced with Poly-graphic bushings. The master cylinder was replaced a few years ago and a vacumn canister booster from Summit was installed. The wheels are new Wheel Vintiques Mopar Rallies (15x7 front and 275/50x15 rear) with BFG Radial T/A's.
New front floor pans were welded a few years ago. The interior was completely stripped. The entire floor was sanded and painted with POR-15 and coated with Quiet Car ( a sound deadening coating). A new headliner installed. A dash cap has been installed. The audio system consists of an Alpine AM/FM CD player, Rockford Fosgate component speakers in the front and JBL 6x9's in the rear -- all powered by an Alpine 4 channel amplifier mounted in the trunk. Also recently installed was a 600 watt Earthquake amp to power the Infinity 12" sub. This is the finest stereo system that I have ever listened to in a classic car. The trunk has been cleaned and sealed.
