Hello from Montana

[janko]

Just joined the forum. Thanks for letting me join. Working on a 1973 Challenger. B5 blue, 318 auto. Needs a fair amount of work. Hopefully it will have a 383/727 when and if I finish it I will need lots of information and advice and this looks like a great resource. Thanks in advance for everyone’s help. Janko

Welcome to FEBO from the desert! Nice looking Challenger! Curious as to why a 383? Do you already have a 383 to drop in it? Does the Challenger have an 8 3/4" rear axle? Build it how you want it of course, but some options will be more expensive than others!

A 383 came with the car and it has a 8 3/4 rear.

That makes it much simpler! Stock 383s sure rev up fast! But if the internals need a lot of work, the 431 stroker (440 crankshaft and connecting rods) make a very nice engine! Especially with a camshaft in the .500" lift range!

That sounds interesting. I will have to look into that when I get closer to doing the engine. Right now doing some trunk and floorboard rust repair. Next I think will be all new wiring.
