K member question

’73 Challenger….318/904 swapping to 383/727. Can I use the existing K member or do I need to change? Also, any experienced advice on overall front suspension changes needed? TIA

Windshield, front and rear

I’m looking for front and rear windshield glass. ’73 Challenger. Anyone know of a resource or have said glass?

TIA

Headers

For my ’73 Challenger I’m swapping the 318 with a built 383 (1969 casting). Anyone have knowledge of the most painless, yet effective headers to install? Thinking of clearance issues as well as performance. TIA

Vinyl Top

Has anyone here put a vinyl top on an e-body that was not originally a vinyl top? I like the looks and it works so well to accent other blacks I want to use when I get into paint. I’m going to be shooting a candy merlow/black cherry type color.

Degreeing the cam

What purpose does this serve? I’ve never done it with any GMs I’ve ever put a cam in and never had issues (that I know of) with the cam or valves.

BB Swap

I have a line on a 0.30 over 440 with a 727 trans at a good price. My car is ’73 Challenger with 318 and 904. I understand there will need to be some suspension changes and possibly tunnel alterations. Has anyone here made that swap that has some advice?

New to Mopar

Hi there! Just joined because I’m about to have a baby…a ’73 Challenger. First Mopar EVER! Had Chevys and Fords and know how to build ’em but this is a new breed to me and am hoping I can gather all the intel I need to build another nice 70’s muscle car from all of those here that have gone before me in an E body resto! Looking forward to the Challenge(r)!!
