I had an 83 Cordoba for a while and built a nice 390stroker....... 3.73 gear 8 3/4 with 2600 stall L/U a-999......... Ran 13.12 with a crappy 60ft......
A/C worked and I put buckets in with a center console. Welded in sub-frame connectors and big meats on the back the car was very comfortable to drive. This car was a ton of fun on the street and beating up on 7 series beemers was easy! I say stroker gen 3 hemi with an A-518 would be awesome! TBF
