Drivetrain:
Mopar Magic built 360 cubic inch Mopar V8  (43 jr used a 426, but that is WAY too expensive, and WAY to complicated for what I'm trying to create.  Transmission is a 904 Torqueflite automatic.  Like the "43 jr" car, the original 7 1/4 rear end was removed and replace with an 8 3/4.  The gears are 3:90 with posi-traction.

Wheels & Tires:

This is the original car than I plan to "reproduce" with the one I own.
