If anyone is interested I have a 360 for sale and I have loads of new small block performance parts.
Cheers Dave

Lovely car and chuffed that uve dropped straight on to a great car that does it for you... Bit of fettling and she will be just how you want her! Feel a nice box of new bits coming up just to get her tip top eh!

Love that view of the hood bulge out of the drivers side....

Wish I had a garage like that aswell instead of scrambling round in the rain on the drive! Get all your jobs done in these dark winter eves instead of piling them up for The Spring when you just want to drive her!

Sadly she is about 2 inches too long for the garage ! Duff Wiki info to blame, I've learnt my lesson. In a way though I may not have bought her if I'd thought she wouldn't fit in the garage....it was good to be wrong.

Here are some more pics from both yesterday and today;

Nice motor! It's got presence...

Looks like Steve may well be advising you on "permi-on" halogen ugrades for the headlamps any time soon...

Mmmm, maybe not!

Ive given up and back on the old system now!

I just love the shape of this car and bet you end up extending the garage!

Extending the garage for the sake of a few inches seems a bit silly....but that's not beyond me

More likely is that we could be moving to the Bedford area fairly soon ish and that will mean I get a shot at some more land for more mopars !

Sounds like a plan!

Hi Howard

Welcome

Is it a 3 speed manual ???? I`ve never driven one are there enough gears ?

That engine Dave Bishop has is a very good buy .. or build a 390 c.i. from your existing block

Hi Jon Thanks for that

Hi Jon; the 3 speed box is interesting to bein with but it's soon pretty easy to get on with. First gets you moving(just), second takes you up to 40 and third does the rest.

DaveBishop; I could defo be interested in a 360....

I've taken some more detailed pics today... http://s1283.beta.photobucket.com/user/ ... led%20pics
