Been a while since I've posted on my car. Busy making a living and taking care of a sick wife to play very much.
Purists will hate me, but it's what I want.
Going with a 440, but claiming 413. Motor is 1971. Carberation is a 69 six pack set up. It's already all rebuilt and ready to go, if I ever get the engine bay prepped and the motor in.
Have test fired the 440 in the donor car with the 4 barrel carb. Ran great.
Also pulling the pushbutton 727 and installing an A833 4 speed tranny.
Painted the valve covers in original gold colors and applied new 413 Golden Lion decals.
Painted the six pack air cleaner lid and shipped it off to an airbrush artist in Louisiana to paint the lion on top of it. I've enclosed a picture of the design, but its in black and white. He will do it in color and make it larger than I could with my printer.
It will also have the words CHRYSLER GOLDEN LION at the top and 413 SIX PACK at the bottom of the lip around the edge. The lettering will be red to match the red on the valve cover decals.
Aluminum factory 6 pack intake manifold, has been powder coated in Aluminum.
Going to use a hydroboost brake system from an Astro Van as the cam will take too much vacuum from the power brake . Have a late model New Yorker front disc brake system to slow the go down.
Scored a cool interior from a 73 New Yorker. It has the front buckets with buddy seat. The backseat has the fold down arm rest in the center. Drivers seat is six way power. Have all the seat and shoulder belts with hardware to .
