440 Alternative Body choices

Afternoon Mopar Gang
Here is my situation ,i am having a hard time finding a Mopar in Reasonable shape to put my 440 in , so in order to get my focus back on this i am thinking off trying to find another MFG to drop the 440 and 727 in and possibly put a Ford 9 inch rear end in , Any thoughts or ideas on how to find a car(Besides Mopar)to fit it in
Ty for your support✌

That's just sick! Mopar or no car. Find yourself one of those cute little Chevy engines.

Go on Racing Junk, find a Hillman, Thames, Henry J, Allstate, Some old gasser that is just dying to get on the road again.
Too bad this covid crap is going on or I would tell you to come and buy my 63 Belvedere.

Looks like a V6-71 Blower? Still in the Detroit Diesel color....

 

[wagonwedge330]

Have you considered any offerings AMC. or Rambler made in the 60’s -70’s?

 

[kramer]

Another option a mid 70's Dodge pickup, lots of parts available and will take any engine combo.

I would hunt down a old Nova or Camaro body, just to screw with the bowtie folks.

There is a 55 Chevy in the Des Moines area with a 383 mopar in it lol.

Make it an LS killer in Vega skin...

 

[moparedtn]

IMO it's a Mopar engine - so put it in a freakin' Mopar.
Sheesh.

 

[F4R/T]

By no means am I serious keep it in a mopar! It’s like putting a Chevy engine in a Pontiac or a Olds.

 

[myk r sanchez]

You probably won't find a good candidate for that engine, so you might as well let me take it off of your hands so I can retire the 440 I have...

Jensen Interceptor.

What's your budget? 80s Dodge trucks would be easy, maybe a BB Cordoba/Fury A 2wd Jeep

 

[Budnicks]

Do a Jeep it's all the same family

 

[Budnicks]

or one of these

 

[Budnicks]

A Willys is a great candidate too
or an early Ford

why not every douche under the sun puts a Chevy in them
