[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 2990381, member: 3099"] Did some looking and from what little I saw my thought train was pretty much confirmed. Like mentioned before the '74 isn't really sought after. The values I was seeing were TWICE the '74 if you just back up a couple of years. I was thinking that 1974 was pretty much when the EPA got the pedal mashed to the floor on smog mandates. This is when all the fun was gone from muscle cars and didn't really return for over a generation. None of that means you couldn't drop that 440 in it and build a killer rod though, but if it's as rough as you say, I'd probably look for another car. Old Chryslers weren't ever known for robust suspensions up front, dropping that much engine in an old dog might take a lot more work than it'll ever be worth. Whatever you get look at the frame with a microscope, if that's good, then it just takes time, money and money. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
