Let's tear down!!!

[71ChargerRT]

Well I figured it's about time to get started workin' on my Charger. I started pulling the front end parts off to get the motor and trans out, and start cleaning up the engine bay. Here's where I'm at so far, yup I have the car on the back porch behind the garage Trish is cool with it so I figured what the hell! I love my wife, she's the best!

Cool!

I wish I old get a car around to the back of the house.
My covered patio is just big enough.

 

[thrashingcows]

Yeah me too. I've thought about removable fence panels so I could get one of the cars back there under the porch for winter storage.

been there done that.....always fun

 

[71ChargerRT]

I need one of these! It would make life so much easier. Then I need this and of course I'll need a bigger compressor...


Guess I need to start busting my ass to get stuff going!

 

[69.5CUDA]

i think you can get the exact same blaster at HF..as for the tisery..make one for alot less

 

[71ChargerRT]

I don't think I could make one for a lot less, not sure in your area, but down here steel is pretty fricken expensive right now. I could probably save some money, but not enough to offset the labor and aggravation. Sometimes it's just better to buy...

As far as the blaster, that was just for a pic and your right, I have a HF 3 minutes from me.

 

[71ChargerRT]

Got the motor out, tomorrow I'll get everything cleaned up and situated and start pulling the front suspension, this is a K frame off restification

Pics...

 

[71ChargerRT]

Still not situated... Started too many projects at once. :doh:2 will be finished by the weekend hopefully.

The story of my life.

 

[71ChargerRT]

I'm torn, I'm not going to use the 318 from the Charger and I really don't want it sitting in my way. I'm never going back to stock (seems like a waste to go back after all this) and all I'm going to do is strip it down to a long block, I need the accessories and tin for my 340. Scrap comes to mind, any others?

 

[71ChargerRT]

Found a use for the teener

Nothing else has happened with the car as of late

 

[thrashingcows]

Your using the teener out of the charger in the duster...right. Nothing like recycling.

 

[71ChargerRT]

Yup!

Gonna pick up a mild cam, throw on a factory smallblock 4 barrel intake, TQ, timing chain and gears, oil pump, etc., before we toss it in there. I'm going to give trans rebuilding a shot too, and we're going to rebuild the original 727 to put behind the 318.

 

[v8440]

That 727 will be almost as underworked as the one that came in my old '78 d100 with a /6.

I have a '73 340 manifold if you need one.

I know, but we have the driveshaft, it's the original, and when it's time it'll be ready for duty when he finds and we rebuild another 340 for it.

I have a '73 340 manifold if you need one.
