The 72 Runner and 71 Challenger will be sold in order to make room for the newer toy, if I chose to go that route.

Right now it doesn't make sense to spend all that time and money just to fall short of a very attainable level of performance.

Granted it will not have the torque of the 508 but where on a road course can I utilize all available torque in the middle of a sweeping turn without spinning the car out?

This car will not be a daily driver just a pleasure vehicle and toy. I am not convinced that most of the Mopar market appreciates what is being done here in this forum and I would have to take off most of the parts installed to make it handle in order to sell the car down the road anyway. Look at what Tom Quad removed from the AAR Cuda just to sell it. Even though it was a proven track car doing what the factory originally intended well......the buyer still wanted a pure stock factory example of what was sold in 1970.
