All that info is nice if i had a Superbird but we're talking a-body m-codes.I was working for my uncle who owned a Dodge dealership in 69 and my dad worked for Fisher Body so i know pretty much how things worked. I don't know where they were built, just want the true facts. My question is for the guys who have restored one, can the body be set down on the engine and trans while its on the x-member like the factory did in the same amount of time moving down the line? They couldn't do this with the Hemi a-bodys, to much beating and banging and adapting to do on the line. This would be the only reason i could see them taking to Hurst.My build sheet and data plate has the engine code E63-383. Why couldn't the factory guys just put the code E86-440 when they set up these cars to come down the line since they did it with the Superbirds that way because everything has to have order and precision coming down the line. What about the special clip that all the m-code cars have on the steering connecter, like the engine was put in at a different time and didn't want to pull out the column again. Being towed over and installing the engine just seems more plausible with all these little things to do. I'm going to ask the A12 guys if there cars had E63 on there tags and build sheets then changed to E87 440-6 since they are m-code special order too.Hope i thought of every thing if not I'll be back, just trying to get good info
