Polara Newport
New Member
I have two C bodies now. One I've had for about 40 yrs., it's a 68 Newport custom. I haven't driven it since '89 when I moved to this house. That's why the picture is an old picture, the car is buried under moving blankets and boxes. The other I just picked up. Paid too much for it but I liked the body and from looking under and in trunk, no rot. It's a 66 Polara. I got bored and decided I wanted to build a dual quad engine. I wanted to 50 yrs ago when I was working on a charger I had. The guy at the speed shop talked me into a six pack, it worked out well, but I always wanted my dual quad.
I am using a 383 stroked to a 431, I decided to use the old stock 383 manifold from 59-62. I know a good 4bbl makes more power, but I'm not building a race car, just like the look of those engines.
Anyway, sorry for the long diatribe, hope to get some good info, hopefully help when I can, and get to know some of you.
