Bob writes: I am in the process of doing a 1963 Dodge 440 that I purchased last fall [2011] and although it is not a restoration back to stock, the Mopar should end up being a very nice ride. The Dodge was built in St. Louis and was shipped to Texas where it spent much of its life. In 2006 the Dodge was purchased by a gentleman in Ajax, Ontario Canada who had plans to make it into a Max Wedge car. Plans changed and the Dodge was placed on Ebay where I purchased it for a fair price.
Originally a 318 A/C auto car, it was changed over to a 1967 383 engine with a 1967 automatic. The engine was torn down with many updates being made, the trans sports manual/auto valve body with a 2500 torque converter. The 8 3/4 rear end is finished off with a new set of Super Stock springs and 3.23 SureGrip. |
The body is all original sheet metal including the floors so it needed minimal work to take it to what is shown in these pictures. |
As you can see there is still much to be done but as you know, things take time.
Great site, thanks! Its very useful!
