Bought a '73 Charger off EBAY. Car is from Alabama, seller said the car is "rust free". It is straight and looks good in the pics. Anyways, I got the winning bid.

The seller also said in the ad that the woman who he bought it from said her late husband was swapping a small block to the 440 that is in it now. In the pics, it doesnt look like any manifolds or headers are on the motor.

When the car arrives i want to go over this and see what has been done. I know I have my 69 charger to compare to since it has a 440/727 in it.

What needs to be done to make this swap right?

Thanks,

Doug

That's a big question considering it's half done and who knows how much needs to be re-done. Perhaps get the car in your hands, look it over and then post the question with some photos?
