1973 440 dodge challenger gameplan
Hello everyone. Im new here from upstate NY. I just recently purchased a 1973 Dodge Challenger that has a rebuilt 72 440 in it. My first purchase for the car was a set of 17x7/18x8 foose legend rims. I dropped the front a bit, and now need to get some new rear leaf springs to lower the rear. My gameplan for this car is to stroke the 440 to 510 ci, throw a 6 pack efi kit on it, back it by a tko 600 5 speed, and put a level 1 xv motorsports suspension kit on it. New paint and interior as well, but this is my starting point...

You've got a killer game plan, keep it up. Great to see more Challenger's. There is a ton of knowledge here, I can't recommend this community enough. Welcome.

I'm glad to hear of your plans for it. Around here, that would be a finished car!
Sure is pretty, and sounds like it's only getting better. What backspacing or offsets did you use on the Foose's?Kurt Mcmanus
