Here is my 1966 440 mill in the 36 Dodge coupe.It has a Hughes cam 538 lift don't remember the duration at the momement,ported 452s,9.5 squeeze and of course the six pac.Nice running combo not sure of the mileage.When I go on out of state trips I pull the 4.10s out and slip the 2.56 gears in the 8 3/4,that helps in between gas stops.lol

That intake is definitely not an old 318 "wideblock" intake... looks like it would be fun though!

This is my Coupe the way I drove it for years. It was a 10 to 1 440 with worked 906 heads, 484 MP cam and not much in the way of "high buck" stuff.
The car had 4.10 gears, a 727 with a 3200 stall, and it weighed 2910 pounds.

It moved pretty danged good, it got VERY good gas mileage FOR WHAT IT WAS, and it was reliable as heck. A true daily driver for years. The only real downside was the 4.10 gears to be honest, I should have went with a 3.23 or something....

That is a really good price based on what I have seen for conversion kits, that motor has probably twice that in parts on it.

wow, that is a nice price. However I cant afford it this month or maybe even next. And for now, I am still in Northern Nevada. Still, if I had the $$$$, the drive is not an issue.

that would work well.

It seems to have quite a few desirables for an old street rod IMO. I thought it was pretty decent as far as the money goes... but things pop up all the time too!

Yes, we talked quite a bit back in the day when you used have one.

Yep, sold it. Wish I had not! Someday but this rig needs something that can make long trips and with a 392, I have to do some cutting and I dont want to have to do tat on this one.

Maybe with a local rod, sooner or later. Nothing looks like a baby HEMI.
