yep it was. i was going to hand hammer aluminum stock type hood and paint it the color of the car and polish the hood scoop but i guess we all have dreams. but i may do the front bumper out of aluminum like stock and polish it make my own tin indian

Hey guys, I have found a 71 Dodge 440 with tranny for $550. The motor still ran untill we tore it out of an old winn motor home. I found some info on the history and some other spec/performance info. Thanks for your input. I will start posting pics of my truck and my desoto along with some pics of my new 440.

Drg84, I am hazy on the history of AMC. So Studebaker went down on it's own? The same for Packard? Hudson just got absorbed into a Gremlin? The mid-50s were certainly a turbulent period for automakers and I guess I just didn't get it all. Well I think AMC did last a little longer so Studebake should have gone along. What was the last year for the Javelin, that was a pretty good model, '67-'74? Well Jeremy C. found a Dodge 440 with a trans so that should settle his problem for a while. I hope it's better than the early MOPAR 360 on gas. Those 360s were certainly strong engines but I recall a Plymouth 7 passenger wagon with a 360 that I saw on a lot with only 17,000 miles on it back in 1986. I was considering a purchase since the car was in mint shape and cheap so I asked for a road test and put some gas in it to take it home for the wife to look at it. I noticed when driving you could actually watch the gas needle go down while driving! The overall mpg on the 360 in that model was about 7! Maybe the station wagon body was geared low, but I had a colleague with the same model and he confirmed an overall mpg of 7-to-9 and he didn't keep it long either. My only answer to the sbc-yawn is that I would add Olds valve covers if I could figure out how to add the center bolts. Is there some way to add the center hold down bolts on SBC 882 heads? By the way what was the last year for Studebaker, '56, '57?

Studebaker's last year was 1966 and by that time they were using small block Chevy motors in production.

For jeremy,I always try to go for a donor car and use as much as possible, drivetrain,brakes ,steering and column,wiring harness,quite literally all I can find a way to transfer,sometimes even the chassis. On the other topic beginning to develop here, Nash and hudson went together and became american motors. Studebaker and packard joined,and continued manufacturing long after they stopped making cars with the Avanti being sold off and continuing production for a brief time. Hank

Hank, thanks for the reminder. I do like the old Studes, Pat's red one is most excellent. Now if I could find me an Avanti some day.... one more project wouldn't hurt, would it????

Jeremy, the 440 should make a great powerplant! Anxious to see the pics.

Hey Jeremy,
Cheverolet still makes all the parts for the 348 motor for Stude's.

You don't have to change from Stude to get horsepower, and you sure don't have to put a FORD in it to be different, but if you do make sure that your AAA is paid up.
