I am going to attempt to get my car going and looking for some input.
My 62 dodge 880 coupe has a 361 with push button trans.
When I bought the car I was told???
the motor was rebuilt at 1 time
the trans made noise
I have a 70 413 out of a motor home (short block)
2 400 motors long blocks
915 closed chamber heads
Do to overwhelming medical bills I don't think my 1 st option is viable at this time. 451 stroker using te 413 crank in the 400 block.
SO what would the most cost effective route be
rebuild the 413 using the 400 or 915 heads
build the 400 using the 400 or 915 heads
Can I get some power out of the 400 without stroking it?
I do have an edlebrock manifold and unilite dizzy for the 400
In a perfect world I would find a running motor.
Transmission
Should I rebuild the push button or use a later model trans that I have. ( I have a lockar shifter that can be installed on the floor leaving everything in place to run the push button at a later date.
My budget right now is based on which direction I go selling everything else to fund my direction. plus other parts I have
Opinions/experiences please
