Okay only kidding about the cross breeding.Putting together a tow rig for our vintage travel trailer and our '58 Skagit 20 Offshore Express cruiser. Inherited this '74 D100 Custom 318/727 shortbed stepside from my dad.It's been in the family since '76 but sat for the past 16yrs with the occasional trip to compost site and dump runs. In the garage now with front sheet metal removed, p/steering gear frame cracks welded ( waiting on brace from Dodge Connection ),rebuilt jy van LCA,new floor pan on passenger side, 2 small patch panels driver side floor,install jy pass.side door, prep jy L.frt fender.Picked up a CL 318/727 that turned out to be a 360/727. From a friend a free rv cam NIB w/timing set.I'm going to try a set of A body Summit headers for fit. Here is the combo as of now and as I've mostly deal BB & Sm B chevy (so please speak slowly) I would appreciate any feed back pro or conn . I'm not married to the free cam / carb and hope to replace the cast iron 4BBL manifold at next month's swap meet. Not trying to build a tire burner but want it to be respected and sound nice.
360 great compression cam .420 / 443 lift... 278 / 288 duration. TQ carb. Rebuilt and road tested on our 427 Nomad.Another freebee. A body headers 727trans original to the truck w/shift kit install in '75 by po. Still shifts strong,no slippage.130,000 miles No clue as to wheel tire combo yet, still going through the photos here & no clue on rearend ratio. Now lets see if I've figured the pics posting thing.

Title reminded me of the day a guy was at a gas pump with a d series of some sort. I was in my 79 D300. Got to talking and he said he had a 427 in it. I thought he was kidding, as i dont think any true mopar guy would do such. He talked up the chebby being such an awesome engine, while the dodge truck was way better than a chebby. He drove off and i was stunned to hear the familiar gm starter sound. my dad was with me and we both shook our heads.
I want my fair share
