    Ya know there are a lot of really quick Mopars out there, but the Charger, always had my heart. I can still remember the day I went to the local Dodge dealer and saw my first 66. It just looked like a mighty battle ship. It was silver w/ white int. Man o man!! Never had a Charger, but allways...

    What Should I be looking for and where

    I remember them, There was this 3 state(Ill., Ind., Mic.) delevery company that had a fleet 20?? or more. They were short lived. Dodge never did good in the light duty fleet market. As C.O.E. s go they were one of the last to get in. I am also in "Goodguys" and see a lot of bowties and blue oval...

    360 budget build for 1980 D150

    That would be a good strong a833 if it is. Make sure The Tail stock matches yours or you may have to cut and rebalance your driveshaft. Try to stay away from salvage yards that tell you to " go fish in the pile" There fun to walk through, but not very well kept. The 373 gears might be a bit...
