leave it lookin like a hoopty, make it run and drive so i can enjoy driving a charger till i can finish my other better hoopty's lol. now here's my thought...its just an XPS29LOG car, 383 2bbl. so im thinking just ripping that out and replacing with a 440 in thinking that it wont really hurt the value when i go to sell it later when my others are done. the 383 is numbers matching, but its a 2bbl numbers matching...i have a correct date coded 1970 440 block i could use for it.

Put the original block away for future possibilities and drop in the 440 and have fun.

With the speed you work I'm guessing you'll have it running and driving in a couple days.       
It didn't take you long with that other 70.    
Looks like a great car.
