Uhhhh, Big block mopars. Small block mopars. Shoot, slant six!

I have copied my thread-jacking post to put it in here.

 

Thought you were on tranny number 4??

 

426 max wedge 4 speed would be sweet, 340 6 pack 4 speed.

Whatever it is make it a manual

 

ssssshhhhhhh i was trying to make a point. bedides tranny number 4 is holding up ok. 2x we are on a mission now. my search fu sucks so i would glady apriciate any help on finding a mopar big block from 1972 or earlier. anything after 1972 is oil crisis performance. im still gonna give the motor home guy a call

 

Just buy a Hemi already Or Cummin's. Whatever floats your boat

 

i dont want anything with a computer and a cummins is gonna be to expensive of a swap. if im gonna do this(remember right now its S's & G's) i want it old school(no computer) motor guur's what would it take to turn that motor home 44 into a monster?

 

The oil crisis 440's are still tire melters man. All them mopar big blocks are torque monsters. Plus you are not going to be able to afford pre '72 iron. It ain't cheap. The motorhomes had the best internals, and are cheap and plentiful, so thats the way i would go.

Not much. You will be impressed with it out of the box (motorhome...) as long as it still runs well.

 

my 440 was from a motor home, but I found out it originally was from a car when I pulled it and checked the numbers, Score!!

I love your idea of no computer, what about a stroked LA engine? We have a lot of older dodge's up here that I could choose from. That's one good thing about living where rust thrive's, body's and frame's rust out before engines blow up. I can get a running driving but rusty 4x4 dodge for under 1200

 

Money.

Basically, just do a complete rebuild. Bump the compression, better cam, better intake, better carb.. or, a stand-alone EFI system.....

 

You know, if you seen in the other thread about the seat, Ill carry this conversation on here.

Like 2x has said I am coming down for his truck in a couple weeks, I know where a 440/4spd/AWD t-case is out of like a 78 or so Dodge that I could bring down on the trailer if you are interested.
