Greetings and hopefully a Happier New Year for all of us.
Old guy. Vietnam Vet. MOPAR poor (mine-RED72Challenger, wife's-73Black Challenger, 73 Duster, 69 Dart GT and a very rough, but one day running, 42 Dodge pickup, 75Sports Fury, 2dr land barge)
Nickname is Hawk.
Location - Laceys Spring, AL. Just South of Huntsville, AL.
72 originally had a good running 340/4spd in it. (now on engine stand being re-furb'd some) 73 has a 340, w/air (for Momma, in our heat), auto and an electronic overdrive unit in it.
Duster had a 318. has a 360 with mild cam and rebuild, (now have a 340 for it, will shoe it in shortly.) Dart has original 273 w/auto (have another 340 for it, much later on).
42 is in pieces. Have an 241 Dodge HEMI for it (much much later on).
For my Red 72, have a 69 Chrysler TNT motor (dtd 4APR69 on block). Decided to dress it up some. No racing anymore for me, so it will be a boulevard cruiser and car show motor.
40 over pistons, lunati bump stick, Edelbrock aluminum heads. decided on a dual 4 barrel setup as I got the kit for a price I could not turn down, complete with the nice dual quad breather. Lot of chrome dress pieces, so with the new purple paint yob, should be nice.
73 Challenger will get a fresh motor as it has a 73' 180 horse motor and tired. Roller cam for it, plus 6 pack setup. Again, no racing, just show. She wants it painted Candy Black Cherry. I like black, but the Sergeant Major says Black Cherry! Got it!
73 Duster 360 ran great till one of the Champion plugs broke (this has happened to me twice, now) and sucked the metal guts into the cylinder on the down stroke and put a mark on the piston (ya think Hawk???!!!!!) So it will come out and I have spare 340's, so it will get one of those freshly refurb'd. 360 will be gone over and replace the tired 360 in the 75 Fury.
69 Dart is just grazing patiently away in my 4 acre, back 40. Same for the 42 Dodge Pickup. 75 Sports Fury runs but needs a carb rebuild. Will just pull it and drop the later 360 in it.
OK, guess that's enough of an intro. Yep, can get windy too!!!
Have some things (MOPAR) I may part with if someone is interested. Nope not my X heads!!! Will post that stuff in the parts area! My trash email account is <dtcmmlf@gmail.com>
Any one wishing to PM me about parts may do so at that email. It is my junk email here all those lonesome Ladies on the internet (and sometime Men??) send their advertisements for my money!!!! Haha...
Again, greetings to you all. Looking forward to tech info and maybe I have something you need (MOPAR in nature).....
Hawk
