Hi! As the title says, i'm a 40+ guy from west coast of Sweden, named Alex. New to the forum this year.
This summer i bought my first muscle car from the golden era, Plymouth Satellite - 67, sold in Sweden 1967.
Originally it was a 383 but the previous owner replaced it with a BB 440. Besides that is has Edelbrock intake, DP 850 holley, MSD AL6, purple cam, exhaust coated Doug´s, 3" with cut-outs, alum-cooler, el fan etc.
Interior is fairly nice, org seats and so on. Power steering and disc brakes (power) and drums on the back. Tranny is 727 with 4.11 rear. 15" WELD wheels, 2800rpm TF Converter
Beginning next year I have 2 options im considering, neither ones are needed (acc. to my girlfriend but....) the car runs just super nice so far. But I want a new project.
Some body work could be done, if you have OCD like me....
Opt1 lightweight
- Check and make sure all is running "as it should" meaning, timing, compression, carb adjustment, perhaps som bench testing to see the curve, it said to have 450-500h
Opt2
- As above but take out the motor and open it. Leave the block and cylinders heads to some company that hones/checks/blueprint the heads and block. Also replaced all bearings, oil rings etc. No boring or stroker kit
Opt3
- Take out the motor, replace parts or tune/blueprint, in order to have 550-600hp without any compressor or silly expensive works done, and still a 440 (no stroker). Still driveable
Let me know if you have any other ideas or tips. I will post rather soon again in the tuning forum part
