76 challenger

« **on:** March 02, 2012, 01:35:34 PM »

Ok guys. I just picked up a new project that I am trying to get ready this season, so I can finally meet some of you guys and share some beers!

It has a 454 and I am in need of a few parts to complete it. I need a front motor mount, starter, alternator, ignition system and a marine carb. I have an edelbrock 1406 electric choke street carb that I will trade as I have no use for it. I am going to sell my hondo so I can put that towards the challenger ( also I have no room for two boats! ) if anyone is interested in doing some trading I can part out the hondo and we can get some dealing going on! Any help is appreciated here guys!!!

im def interested... do you have a pic?

i have a BRAND NEW in box autozone starter if you need it. I ended up going with a mini starter on mine to clear my fuel pump. By the time I realized it was sitting in my storage unit it was like 6 months later and autozone wont take it back...

I could absolutely use the starter! And thanks for the offer on the rail kit. I think I will pass on it though.

you need valve covers? I have a set of chrome moroso's too.

« **Reply #9 on:** March 03, 2012, 04:25:01 PM »

I have some covers on now. They seem to be stock no breathers. What do you want for the moroso covers?

« **Reply #10 on:** March 03, 2012, 08:47:05 PM »

Nice you got that in oakhills I was thinking of going to look at it gues not now

« **Reply #11 on:** March 03, 2012, 10:30:42 PM »

ya the guy kinda screwed me though. The carb he had for it is a street carb not marine and it's missing more parts then he originally said. I got it for a bit less then the list but I still would have preferred those parts. What are you running Bryan?

let's figure something out if possible

« **Reply #16 on:** March 04, 2012, 06:19:32 PM »

so what did you get done today

« **Reply #17 on:** March 04, 2012, 08:14:14 PM »

I moved the boat today and moved the seadoo trailer to my sisters house to get some more room. Then I just sanded a bunch of stuff down to clean it up. Got one whole header almost completely sanded, fwd/rvs handle sanded. I'm going to pick up a cherry picker tomorrow from harbor freight so I can pull my motor. My new guages and fuel sending unit should arrive tomorrow.

« **Reply #18 on:** March 04, 2012, 09:17:51 PM »

if you want some help pulling the motor let me know we live close

« **Reply #19 on:** March 07, 2012, 11:22:31 PM »

You get anything done

« **Reply #20 on:** March 11, 2012, 10:58:01 AM »

Put some gauges in and had to flip the steering as the previous owner had it in backwards

« **Reply #21 on:** March 11, 2012, 05:37:59 PM »

where did you get the gauges looks good

« **Reply #22 on:** March 11, 2012, 05:50:54 PM »

Thanks, ordered them from rexmarine. Still waiting on the other two. Gotta get my tanks finish welded soon.

« **Reply #23 on:** March 14, 2012, 04:27:02 PM »

After spending about an hour talking with Jim at performance jet I got my plans for my pump all laid out. Now just need to get the money together and start ordering some parts
