New to the H.A.M.B

Welcome dude, Dig the ride.

 

Welcome, good lookin Mopar.....And Idon't even like um that much, but that one is cool.

 

Welcome to the hamb.

 

Welcome to the HAMB. That's a sweet 300. One of these days my Newport might look half that good.

 

Thanks scarynickname, I would love to see pics of your newport, is it a 440. Shawn

 

Welcome from Colorado, Cool 300 ,Love big cars!!

 

Nah, it's a 383. It's sitting out in the driveway right now. I had to clear out the shop for some sidework. I need to get some cash together so I can get it on the road. I only have the pics from the night I brought it home after spending 5 hours digging it out of this guys backyard. Maybe a couple of it in the shop.

 

welcome dude!

 

From your sig picture I assume it's a 65 Newport. The 65 C-body Mopars have some unique aspects that can really mess you up if you don't know about them.

The first is the driver side motor mount. The 65 blocks have a boss on the front of the block for the motor mount to bolt to. This is something most non-65 big blocks do not have so if possible use your original block.

The second is the trans. It's a cable shift and not a linkage shift. It has no week links and other than the place where the cable attaches it's a typical 727. Just like the block, your life will be easire if you can continue to ues the original trans.
