    9:58 Hello baby!! Those headers were tuned way back when. 🤠
    My ol' school suggestion: Install (temp) cut outs behind the flange & let a fun exhaust guy replicate a max HP set up, but bear in mind the final drive gear ratio will ultimately determine top end speed.
    Excellent project! Beautiful example of Mopar American class iron!
    Let us know more about your diamond loves as you've now got fellow players/coaches following these cool videos!
    Cheers!

    Nice Coronet! My first car was a Black 64 Polara 500 with a 318 auto and red bucket seat interior! That was in 1968. Great first car those old Dodges of the 60s. At least you got a BB with yours. 😊

    Best of the bunch True battle wagon. We had one in Cali 20 yrs ago so sad to say goodbye. Drove out to the desert countless times, never missed a beat. My husband swapped the grille for a charger one with turnaround headlights. Love the fan shaped detailing on back wing behind doors. The Coronet never stopped growing on me. Great to see a young lad appreciating a classic, a thing of beauty. Look forward to more vids of this

    I enjoy finding new channels such as yours, I can't wait to see the progress on this Mopar. Don't know if you know it or not but you can mix vinegar and water one to one. It will chemically kill rust. You know it's working when it turns black. If you plan on refinishing the whole car you could just spray it with some white Rust-Oleum after you kill the rust it'd be cheap. Also you can put some ATF and the cylinders. In the beginning of the video I didn't catch it if you introduced yourself what do we call you. God bless

    • @ClassicAutoRescues
      @ClassicAutoRescues  Год назад

      Thank you for the kind words. Engine is currently unlocked, I’m just editing the video now. I plan on using the vinegar water mixture for the fuel tank just to make sure I get it all clean. The name is Tim. I’ll make sure to introduce my self in the next video.

      Officially the 440 engine was only available in the 67 Coronet R/T, but there are records that Dodge made a super small number of Coronet 440's with the 440 engine in 67. Those may have been police or government cars (FBI?), but the number of them may have been less than 10. I doubt anybody would find one now and any kind of condition.

    If the engine is a 440 and is a 67 which the 67 engines were painted turquoise it has the best cylinder heads you could possibly get for a 383 or 440 they're called close chamber higher compression way to go 💨

    Hubcaps are 1965 dodge coronet spinners, I believe. I believe that engine isn't original to the car, plain V8 emblem means 273, 318, 361, 383 2 barrel.

      440 was a trim line. A true 440 engine Coronet would of been tagged as an RT with dual hood scoops. BTW, all BP and only BP gas stations use “green” handles for non diesel fuel. Confusing as heck!
