New Road Runner Project

[HEMI RAM]

I just brought this home tonight, it needs lots of assembly but almost all body and paint work is finished. It's a 383 4 speed console car with black interior.

Almost everything is there and a lot of it is new. He has all new interior from head liner to carpet including seat foam, all new lights and grill, the short block is rebuilt, brakes and suspension are rebuilt, and it was done on a rotisserie so the bottom looks as good as the top.

I bought a '' 73 '' 440 forged engine from a Winnebago on Sunday, since the engine I got with the car is a 383 non matching I'm going 440. I was told the 440 was very low mileage and after removing the heads he didn't lie it has perfect bores. I'm going to freshen it up with new pistons rings and bearings, it has low compression pistons. The pistons that I am going to use are Speed Pro flat top forged that are considered factory replacements for the 440 6 pack engine. From what I can tell the only thing missing is weather-stripping for the doors and windows and front arm rests, I'm sure there is more but nothing big for sure. One question I have is why can't I find a seal for the rear window.

Sweet project. Doesn't look like you have so much to do on her. My kind of project.

 

[HEMI RAM]

I could have asked my question better. Does the back window need a gasket or is it just glued and sealed? I have found windshield seals all over the place but none for the rear.

 

[Justin@ECP]

Pretty sweet ride!

The rear window can be put in with the same rubber butyl as the windshield kits you have probably located.

Will I have to change any of the air grabber parts when changing from a 383 to a 440?

 

[jaws]

The air cleaner base is different. shorter on the 440.

 

[HEMI RAM]

Where is a good place to find the right base? Does someone offer them in the aftermarket?

 

[HEMI RAM]

I bought a complete AMD tinted glass kit and most of the door and window seals from Summit racing. I'm thinking pretty seriously about doing a six barrel set up on it. Will the air cleaner part number p5007737AC work for my air grabber setup on a 440?

Great looking RR and the Duster too. Look forward to seeing more pics as it's going together.

Yes if you're running a six pack set up.

I have one listed on eBay right now. It's brand new. eBay item number: 141769393150

I sold my 71 RR and have been selling off all of the accumulated parts.

Hope this helps.
