Deciding on the power plant for a restomod

[tan top]

I opted for a modernized 440 for my 68 Charger.  Edelbrock SEFI and all modern internals.  Should make 450 hp on pump gas.  I have a build thread on FBBO.

People used to drive 1960s cars coast-to-coast without any tools in their trunk.  That used to be normal. 


Q.  Did we all get worse at working on 1960s cars?   

A.  No.  We started building less practical setups.  We started accepting repro parts that don't work.  And we stopped driving the cars enough to de-bug them.  These are voluntary choices.

Holy shit...actual truth posted right here for all to see.
The V10 sucks. Power to size ratio is not great and the engine sounds terrible no matter what mufflers you have on it.

Untill my car was dissasembled to the body job, my car was a driver "coast to coast" without any tool on trunk, and even went to the body shop riding around a thousand miles.

Well in Venezuela, a "coast to coast" drive is just like Texas border to border lol.

I remember seeing that pic on a "Charger Web-Ring" site.
