I literally came to this video with the sole purpose of telling you to put a 440 in it. But you already did, so for that I have to say great minds think alike.
@KeeperofTheMountain Yeah, we're a dying breed for sure. I don't know if you're just into Mopar, but my daily is a '78 Ford van... which also happens to be a 15 passenger 3/4 ton with a 460, Thrush headers, Edelbrock cam and intake, Motorcraft 4300D 4 barrel, MSD 6AL ignition box, and the list goes on. Then the C6 has a B&M shift kit and extra frictions and steels. But I don't drive often.. 7 mpg is the downfall.
@KeeperofTheMountain Noting wrong with that, drive what you've got. And my dad has a '76 Dodge Monaco with a 400 (and a 440 awaiting a swap), I have nothing against Dodge whatsoever.
@davidstapleton275 We had a perfectly good 440 in a New Yorker sitting there. Also in 1970 there was no difference that I am aware of between the pickup motor and the car motor. For the "industrial" motor you had to get into 5ton + trucks or a dodge schoolbus. In the small trucks it was all in the rear end and it's gearing.
LOL..Yep, I was talking about the Tradesman. I've had some old Dodge trucks and they are always "fun" to start after not running for a while..LOL... Would also like to see the actual coldstart oldstart of the Dodge truck. :)
@floodedcaddy The original cold start which I do have on video at least in part will be posted when Flashcamgordon and I can make a decent mix of it. It is cool as it happened in the snow.
@KeeperofTheMountain Sounds good......Looking forward to any/all oldstarts coldstarts in the truck or van....What year is the Tradesman? As best as I can see it looks like a mid 70s.

look at that shifter and the push button starter. Man chrysler had some cool gadgets back in the 60's. Way ahead of their time.
