Havent posted here in a long time. Went to College, moved, life happened. Thought I would post some updates.
Finally swapped the 440 into my 73 Charger, had a 944s2 for a couple months.
Bought a 2007 Audi RS4 and have been taking it to track days. Has a 4.2L V8 that revs to 8250rpm and makes 420hp. Tons of fun, the power and drive-ability is addicting.

Today, bought a 1967 Coronet 440 with a 440 swapped into it, originally a 273-2bbl. Very little rust, poor cosmetically, probably a motorhome engine, 727, 8-3/4" rear. Should be picking it up in a couple days. Dont know much about the early b-bodies. Probably going to gut the interior. Any tips for this thing would be appreciated.

cool.  Nice audi- sounds like fun.

My first mopar was a 67 Coronet I dropped a 440 into.  Pretty much the same as any other mopar as far as working on em.

Picked up the Coronet today. Got a flat on the trailer, luckily had a spare. After looking at the car more, very solid. Has a 1973 440-4 in it, trying to see how I can make good power from it.

Finally got the Coronet running right. Previous owner said he just changed the plugs and wires. One wire had a broken terminal and the hard to reach plugs weren't changed. No more misfire and the car makes some good power now.
Also added some 1" spacers and Mustang Bullitt wheels to it.

Drove it a little bit, seems to flare on the 2-3 shift. Dipstick tube for the trans is leaking a ton. Radiator has no overflow bottle and seems to pressurize a bit and overflow when running.
My plan right now is to make it a decent smogger build, something around a 490 lift cam, single plane intake, 850 holley. Hopefully somehow dip into the low 12's. Possibly nitrous. Engine is a forged crank 73 with taper seat heads so most likely from a motorhome.
