The Official Hot Rod Thread - Part 2: No Replacement For Displacement

I will be delivering your block one day this week. We will be screwing it together soon. At least long block.

Is the mopar market high or low right now? The body on it looks fair ish.

The Mopar market is going crazy right now. Even A body cars are beginning to bring decent money since the B and E bodies are going through the roof.

The slant 6 Challenger could be a decent deal depending on rust issues. 1970 Challengers. . depending on condition/engine option can bring really good money. If I had the time I would check it out myself.

Makes sense considering all the cool stuff dodge is doing with the challenger these days. My buddy has a 300 srt8 that is to much fun.

Still think he needs a carbon copy version of your engine...just so he can whoop Rusty like he stole sumthin. Lol

The patience game has just gotten so stale. I just want to keep the momentum going.

Try 19 plus years. . . . .

That one is doable and will need some metal work. It is just sad when I see these cars in this condition. I do know how and why they get there but damn.

I had a 1970 W-30 that was that color new.

That would be pretty cool but that would require some upkeep if it was on the street. And at least cam-2 in a mix if not straight up.

I have a sit down with the potential new owner of the 64 tonight. Just a few more details to hammer out. If he does not step up and take my engine it may just go back into the corner for a bit. I know of a pretty nice 78 Malibu sans drive train. Can you imagine that car, this engine, 3 peddles with the 12 bolt under it.....

Might not be the coolest thing on the street but you will have to bring something hot to get around it.

Woah. $3200? The rust underneath must be pretty rowdy. A real 442 is way up on my list.

Notice the huge holes in the roof? I bet her floors are shot. She’s got a lot of hidden surprises.

Ha....I missed that when I saw the trunk. That is a total game changer. Could be a parts only car if anything is still worthy. Nope......$3200 is insane.

Good catch.

I went from "wow this in bloomington maybe ill just take a peek" to nope.

It could still be fixed, but a base 400 442 automatic? Prolly not worth it as a full restore. Now get it for $2500, get it running and drive safe, patch up the roof with some steel, screws and some seam sealer, rock the crap outta the car down a dirt road!

This doesn’t seem outta line. Already sbc swapped.

New shocks/struts on the front of the minivan today, never done that before. Ended up being about a $350 pot hole, and I’ll probly have an alignment done just because.

Other than the donk wheels, I’d rock it.

It looks to be a solid piece.

Would need much better pics before I ever made the drive.
