1977 Dodge

Here is my other old Dodge cop car. It's a #'s matching 440, 727, 9 1/4 w/ 2.71 gears and all the cop stuff....front and rear sway bars, oil/ps/trans coolers etc.

I'm not sure how many of these are left, but I've looked for a long time and they rarely turn up. Only a Mopar guy can truley appreciate these cars since they are the some of the last of the big blocks...and I like anything with a factory 440.

It has it's original paint, rubber floor mat, etc, so I'm only going to touch up what's there. It even has the original dual exhaust, minus the cats, and has a fairly tough rumble for a plain looking 4 door sedan.

My plans are:
New weatherstripping, headliner, recover the seats and sunvisors
Rebuild the top of the motor: valve job, seals, springs, cam and lifters (XE268..the stock cam), new factory double roller timing chain, swap the stock iron intake with a Performer so I can save my back re-installing it and use the Thermoquad.
Detail engine bay and repaint the motor Chrysler blue

Anything I touch will get either cleaned or repainted, including things like the steering column, brake booster etc.

Thanks for letting me post my Mopar on this great site. I hope somebody remembers these, hopefully not while being chased.
