383 mopar turns over after sitting for 36 years

[tazzum01]

I just did a weed pull on a 1966 Dodge Coronet 440 with a factory air 383. Spent most of it's life in a Montana creek bed. We are going to try and make it run!

Thanks. Check out my fury from junk yard to now part 2 if you would like to see it almost completed.

[stephmc111]

wow man. thats a real nice car. seriously. needs a little more work, but then again being a 1966. its just great to see a car restorated rather than chopped. Thanks

[slowmotion4x4]

[busterbear13]

Mopar at that!

[SixtiesFan90]

Agreed. I wouldn't give two cruds about any old Honda or Toyota made today, but these older cars like in the Mopar in this video need another chance.

danm...a friend of mine had a 60 something galaxy and the motor siezed in only 5 years of sitting

[rdonato1976]

@tabaristewart --- thats because it ain't a MOPAR ...., its MOPAR or NO CAR !!!

[BrocWorst]

that things good for a couple hundred thousand more miles. believe me!

[slowmotion4x4]

The link above is the stage the car is at now. The 383 is gone and replaced by a 440

[slowmotion4x4]

Thanks I all ready have the 440 in it now. If things go right. I hope to fire it up this weekend. Getting over a bad cold so we will see. I have about 2 hours work to have it ready to run

[slowmotion4x4]

motor swap happens this sunday :-) finally

[slowmotion4x4]

I am posting up on craigs list to see if I can find a carb to just bolt on. If not I will have to rebuild this one. The 440 will go in next month even if this one does happen to fire up.

[adon214]

i duon't know what area you are in but i highly recommend car quest. they might have a rebuilt 2bbl carb same model and year for that block. nice big block btw

[daddyugi]

so start it up!
