I recently purchased my 67 Chrysler 300 and it is in fantastic condition. The only problem i have with the car is that the engine (440) could use a rebuild along with the 727.
I was planning on rebuilding the 440 this winter because it is leaking oil. I was thinking of doing the following.
Hardened valve seats
Port work
Duel 2" exhaust keeping the stock manifolds and add some quiet mufflers w/ X or H pipe
Holly 750 double pumper
Edlebrock duelplane intake
727 rebuild
I plan on keeping the entire short block exactly how it is. But my question is that am I going to ruin the drive-ability of my 300? I already tuned the edlebrock POS carb on it and adjusted the timing and that really helped wake it up. I also ditched the stock air cleaner (I still have it on the shelf) and threw a 4" K&N round filter on it and that really helped it breathe.
I daily drive this thing and by no means am i looking to turns this into a F body. But id like to be able to put my foot down on the on ramp. However I DO NOT want to be put back in my seat everytime i touch the pedal. Would a different torque converter help that?
Thanks guys
