This is my resto/hot rod project. It was bought from a junk yard in West Virginia for $400. I am the second owner of the car. I bought a set of small bolt Mopar rallye rims for $100.

The car is in decent shape and fired up on the first crank. The Leaning tower of power \6 runs like a champ.

The interior is right rough but its not too bad. I am going to use high back buckets and convert it to black interior.

The plans for this grocery getter consists of a small block Mopar 318 with a 727 torqueflite to back it up.

The 318 is back from the machine shop at a cost of $788.29.

The block was bored .040 over. The carnk was balanced, baked, and magnafluxed. My heads are non smog 360 heads with 2.02 intake and 1.80 exhaust valves.
The cam I selected is a Comp Cams Magnum 270H with springs and lifters and timine set.
