      Mopar choices??

      Well I have a mint 440 with about 20-30k miles from the old days, and I was told I can have it. So I wanna start gettin ideas for what I should stick the motor in, what plymouth or mopar vehicle should I throw this motor in. I haven't had alot of Ideas, I been think of darts, road runners or chargers, what else is out there that is good and maybe liable to be a mopar sleeper? Well I hope I posted this in the rite forum, since theres so many areas, lol. Well what Ideas you all got? hehe ALso tell me the years, since some cars get ugly over years or start as ugly haha

      if you realy want a sleeper throw that 440 in a volare or and aspen, that would scare the crap out of some people. i'm not sure how hard it would be to do it but i'm sure it can probably be done

      i used to think about a 440 in a mid 60's dart, do a little chop, air suspension and some 17's or 18's, big pimpin. Not such a good idea if you want a balls out car though, it depends, you wanna put the 440 in a cruiser, or do you want a 700hp 496'' monster?

      A late '60's Valiant - boxy and very benign lookin'.
      The '67 - '69 Barracudas have always been one of my favorites.
      If you choose to put it in one of the smaller Mopars, I would suggest you put a set of aluminum heads on the motor just as soon as your budget allows. The weight savings should be quite noticable in the smaller bodies.

      For a sleeper and a highway cruiser, I'd use any of the c-bodies from the mid-60s. The '65 + '66 Furys are my favorite.

      Go with a Dart, when I finish my Nova ( ) I have a 1971 Dart that I will be building for my wife, it will have a V10 with an AOD, dana, full custom built cage with swing out door and back seat bars.

      here is a pic of the dart as it sits right now, which needs a lot of TLC

      I plan on putting it up on ebay on Sunday evening if it doesn't sell before that. I have also attached a pic of the interior and the engine. Thanks,
