I love A bodies, but the 63 would be a lot cooler. Everybody has an A body.

I love A bodies, but the 63 would be a lot cooler. Everybody has an A body. I would add........the cooler the A body , the less room you will have for anything under the hood. It gets snug in the early A's. I'd lean toward the B body , and I have a '65 Dart.

Nothing against the A bodies really, but I'd go w/ the '63 B body.
LOL about the E body car show comment! I've had a bunch of people tell me I shouldn't be racing my cuda (while in the staging lanes no less) and that it should be sitting in a garage instead. I just laugh and put my right foot through the firewall.

I came across 2 cars tonite- 69 Dart and 63 Belvedere. Not worried about looks. With a 440, both cars weigh about the same +/- 50 lbs. This would be a strip car that can still be driven on the street. I've got a 440/500 HP with a 727 w/2.75 1st with TA "J" converter and 4.30 rear. Shoe horned BB in the A or a bit more room with the B body? At present, I have no preference. Who has what and what ones is better, if there is such a thing? I have all three type(A,B and Ebody)cars now, I have raced and cruised all three body style over the years. I don't like E body so my race car(1970 Cuda S/P car runs high 8.s in the 1/4 mile) is for sale, what do you want to the car you get to do for you? My 1969 dart is a original non number matching 383 4 speed car, it is for sale also I've owned and raced several 1963 Plymouth M.W. Belvederes, one hardtop and one sedan, I liked both cars My current 1963 Plymouth Fury is under construction and will end up being a street cruiser that will eat up most new cars on the street It will have a 1968 K member and a pump gas stroker 413 truck block that is 4.250 bore with a 4.150 stroke crank with 440 Source heads and a Eddy RPM intake with a 1965 pushbutton 727. Hopefully the motor will make close to 600 HP on Oregon pump swill on a engine dyno and run really good in the car Can you go drive both cars now to see if and how you like them ? If so do that first

I want to go as fast as I can go with the smallest amount of cash spent so it’s always been A bodies for me. I like the way they look too so it’s a win win for me

Remember the '63 8-3/4" has tapered axles and drums, many are seized in place.
