New to the F body cars.

Went and got an F body car. So figured I'd sign up over here as well as the other site.

78 Aspen R/T, now has a pretty stout 1970 340, 727 w/ 3000 stall Hughes converter. It came with the original 360 that had a knock when pulled.

Got the idle tune up closer. Waiting on edelbrock step up springs because the 508 cam doesn't make a lot of vacuum. Not a big ede carb fan, gonna make this one work.

It's got a weiand stealth intake, mopar 508 hyd cam, 800 thunder carb, 70 A body HiPo exhaust manifolds, Harland Sharp rockers, titanium retainers seems to be a pretty solid build. It runs pretty strong for only having 3/4 throttle, kickdown linkage is limiting it and needs adjustment.

Original paint, interior is in good shape except the dashpad. The Lt front fender got bent. Looks like the spoiler took a hit on a parking block or curb, folding the spoiler under and tweaking the fender. The paint is spidered and cracked where the bend occurred. Has some scratches and ding on drivers side from kids, etc. Pass side is nice. Has the usual rust by rear tail lights/corners, behind the doors at 1/4 rocker seam and behind rear wheels. The floor pans are great and the cowl doesn't appear to be rotted.

The grille is broken in a bunch of spots and needs some attention.

I'm happy with it and will fix the original engine to reinstall. Use the 340 in something else later. For now I plan to drive it a bit.

[Mr.Lopar]

If you ever decide to go floor shift, I've got a floor shift steering column available (pm me), but as it came out of a std. shift car, I have no gearshift interlock.

Very cool .....sounds like you got a great deal.

 

[holmes]

Love it! It has the same groove goin' on that my '76 R/T did, except in much better condition.

Looks exactly like the one that a die hard Chevy guy bought after my '66 Coronet handed his nitrous equipped '71 Nova (WELL past being on its last leg!) it's ass! Had ripped on Mopars for years, but bought one just like yours!
