Those "430" hp L-88 427 Chevys actually made 570-580hp with headers. LS-7 454 made 600hp in stock trim with headers. Nothing could run with them back in the late 60s early 70s.

A good stock Hemi with a sharp tune is in the 480-490hp range. Around 500tq.

Fantastic video. Love it, well done

We bought a 67 Coronet for a case of beer and a bottle of rum I bought a tubular cross member with all the parts and an engine plate one day we will get to it our 71 Cuda drag car is getting the 440 in my Sons 71 Satellite till the body work on it the Cuda will get a 392 Hemi when the Satellite is done decided to put a smallblock in our Duster have all the parts and the Hooker stainless fenderwall Headers will look so good on the Cuda with a tunnel ram minus hood and fiberglass front clip and doors if I had room for the 70 Bee I'd love to take it if we didn't have 2 mud racers also

The worst color is Sassy Grass or Limelight. Along with all non Top Banana yellows.

I have the same tow rig. I’m on my second one. Short box Reg Cab 5.7

727 is probably one of the easiest transmission is rebuild

You didn't order that burger wrong the juice is in the burger patty and if it's not then your at McDonald's

Thanks for the video I love 70 super bees I'm a geezer now so I can't build cars anymore back in 1974 my best friend bought a 70 Dodge Super Bee it was triple black it was a 4:40 it was a pistol grip for Speed it has your grip had front disc brakes manual carpet delete radio delete heater delete who ordered this car it was $1,600 on a used car lot it had a cracked windshield that's all that was wrong with it in the trunk was a center section with 355 the center section that was in the car had 391s the factory wheels and tires were also came with the car we had a blast this was a cool ride headers cam better intake better carb we got this car to running a high 11s at the quarter mile with slicks what a fun car it still exists in New Berlin Wisconsin the guy who owns it now restarted about 20 years ago it's all back to stock what oddball have a great day I'll keep watching

The front end of the 70 Bee is very polarizing. I know they were looking to mimic a bee...but it was a bridge too far. Problem is the high cost of doing this magnitude of work far exceeds the value of a done to stock Bee. A restomod is probably the only hope. Good luck. Regarding the hood....a friend had a perfect bulge hood for sale 30 years ago for $ 50....no takers so it was scrapped since it took up space.

Looks mint compared to the one I'm saving! 😂

There may only be a handful of people who LOVE the 1970 Super Bee more than I do! However, on this particular ‘project’ it wouldn’t make ‘dollar-sense’ to continue. I’m subscribed and Love Mopar Connection! Carry On, Kevin!

70 cornet and super bee share the same sheet metal.

Price and location ? I have a lot of brand new parts just waiting for one of these . Email address ?

Mark Worman graveyard cars

I’d like to have lime green one 383 4 speed with factory rallye wheels

Maybe Mike Musto at Hemmings.🤔

Maybe reach out to youtuber at Rust Bucket Restos. 🤔

The question should be, who doesn't want to save a 70 super bee ? I built a model of that car back in the 1990s. Never was and never will be able to afford one.

Really sir, let me do it.

Molar 5150 call them

I’d love to build it for you I’m in NJ

I love it 😍

Contact Chris Birdsong!!!!!

No billet drum and no bolt in sprag upgrade? You do realize its not a matter of if but only when you are going to have a transmission explosion. When that sprag lets go usually from a burnout in first gear or any shock load in first gear that drum is going to run away and explode. The bits of the drum will exit the case, come through the floor pan, Sever your foot, and continue out the door! A billet drum is not optional on a 727!

I’ve seen cars in worse shape than zombie, that have been rebuilt. Definitely worth saving 👍🏻

If you don't find a buyer, do you think a local type technical school could do something with it? It seems like they could get all kinds of body and drivetrain experience.

I would love to have it 😢😢😢

Everyone complains about the small intake ports of the mopar big block. While they are small compared to the Hemi,BBChevy,and the phord 460, they were actually excellent on the streets back in the day. Thats because their small size[on a 440] made for high mixture velocity and great torque down low with the rear gearing of most street cars then. They didnt have overdrive transmissions with high numerical rear gears or 8 speeds like todays musclecars; they mostly had like 3.23 or 3.55 [medium gear ratios] which created a pig with giant sized intake ports,eapecially moving 3600-4000 ibs from a standing start. They worked great for the intended purpose.

I would have bought it, but Lyin' Biden drained my bank account with his anti-American policies!

Cool Car, B-Body's just look so awesome with the Big Tire mod...Let's hope it finds a good home !

What about the Sprag did you replace it??

So much great information in just general AT to MT trans swap. Thanks!

I have a set of Edelbrock Performer heads , they have been on 4 different engines worked by Dan Smith in St.Louis I have a Racer Brown flat tappet cam - STX22 , I'm making about 750 HP There is no way I would run a chi-com stealth head

I owned a 440 6 pack cuda with only headers and a 4:10 Dana - 4 speed . Car was consistently 11.8 to 12.0 in the 1/4. Not too many Hemis were tuned properly to beat it "

WHP?????

Has anyone tried the FastFishAutoParts Big Block Mopar retainer and seal package: MSRP-BB?

Cant se thes NR on The monitor! Cant se thes 628hp.. Yes I can see in the paper. I have even more HP in may 440cui sixpack weiand Tunnel Ram intake..Have werry Nice super stocker Alu heads Cnc Ported. Only littel cam only 0585 lift Roller Hyd...

I have used POR15 extensively on rusty projects. I always wear gloves and use small foam brushes. It only seems to like to stick to rust, your skin, and garage floors. It doesn't stick well to clean steel. Yes, several days for it to fully cure. But the rust won't come back.

🌟 A thought … If the Mancini MRE220 main seal retainer is cut deeper to accommodate the size of the larger FelPro 2947 Viton seal (the standard Chrysler black seal leaks as per your video) - why was it necessary to cut it deeper if the larger Viton seal still fits (and doesn’t leak) between the crank and the block? Perhaps there is an argument for using 1/2 a standard seal and 1/2 a Viton seal when using the Mancini MRE220?

Thank you for the great videos you do. We are only human and you did a great job in the recovery. Kudos to you.

It's a driver great job

Hey Kevin, would you know a reputable engine builder that can build me a 750 hp stroker motor, maybe like your project engine that has indy heads solid roller cam and idles like a hemi super stock motor? Thanks. I agree rust really likes mopars but i havent found a good rust proof converter chemical

I can see extreme skill in this old fella im impressed id love to have seen more he is a true og

As being a real dodge fan I definitely have dick landy on one of my top shelves there he was icon of his era not taking anything away from soxs and Martin, herb McCandless but I had dodges and that was my favorite the others were great too

Thank you for posting this. I recently bought a block and are assembling a hemi. it's a lifelong dream.I'm impressed by the quality. My only issue so far is the original exhaust manifolds does not fit. Som material must be removed from what is left from the motor mounts and the second thing is that I have to remove some material around the oil pickup tube otherwise it will not fit. No big deal.

I thought your team did a great representation of a stock 426. QUESTION: Im curious of what the gap was from the top on the piston and the block deck ?

Don't use factory rear main seal with aftermarket rear main seal kit...it will leak, you need a fellpro seal it's larger and will give proper crush to seal correct especially on the Mancini aftermarket kit.....watch what plug wires and distributor you utilize as well.... You might have a misfire issue...😮

Man I'm so glad you did this and thanks for sharing you knowledge Ken!

We all make mistakes, no one got hurt, all is good.
