Hi,
I'm a big Mopar fan, and have just sold a '68 Charger which I'd spent a lot of time and money on fitting a nice 440.
Although strictly speaking, it's not an A-body, I'll be picking up a '77 Aspen R/T four speed in the new year. Currently it runs a 318, but I've got a 360 I'm building over the winter, ready to fit in the spring. It'll need a bit of work as it's running a 8 1/4" rear, although it is a Sure Grip. I'm aiming to get it down the strip in the 12's, so I'll be sourcing a 8 3/4" with some 4.10's/4.56's. Planning on sticking with the four speed, so will be looking for a good clutch too.
Any advice on the new project is welcome. One problem I have is sourcing parts in the UK. Some parts are easy enough, and getting small stuff shipped from the US isn't a problem. It's the large (heavy) bits that can cause a headache.
Anyway, I look forward to chatting, and picking some your brains... :-D
