A clunk on a 727 is normal. I don’t know why they do it but all 727s do that.

It is probably just a number difference. It should be fine to use. Granted my knowledge is only with holleys.

I can tell you the 27478 means April 27 1978 which is when the engine was assembled

Imperials

You could use an inner fender from any chrysler from 69-73 but don’t quote me on the years.

That’s odd. My dad’s 300 has radials on it that have been on it for longer than 33 years, they hold air and look brand new.

The wheel opening mouldings should be the same across all 70 newports since the bottoms of the fenders and quarters are the same.

Build sheet and fender tag for those who are interested.

If anyone wants pictures of the 70 challenger or the build sheet of the 300 let me know

The top speed of my dad’s 69 300 with 2.76 gears is somewhere over 120 since he has buried the speedometer racing a muscle car. The cruising speed of that car is still a reasonable 85-90 since it likes to go around that speed.

Fender tags are hard to read early in the morning my bad.

Also we have the original carburetor floating around in the garage somewhere with another 4160 off of the previously mentioned imperial.

Yes, the car ran when parked and runs as well as a 45k mile 440 can. The carburetor is a modern-ish 4160 (I think) on a half inch spacer that leaves no space between the air cleaner and the hood.

We’ve tried to go but something always comes up that weekend. The funny thing is last time my dad was there he saw his 70 challenger.
