I have a three eighty three under hood. Has a 727 transmission but looking to put the four speed back in it. So need's trim panels body part's and lot's more. So you guys all have a nice drive while I am working on My Roadrunner

Road runner part's

Thank you guy's for the warm welcome. I will take some pick's to come soon she is in pretty bad shape but it's mine. Hope to get the car back in shape. I just got the motor started sound's good but the carb still need's some work it has a holey demon. I think it has float problem's bowl is full of gas can't adjust needles. It dose not want ideal like it is suppose to. I am looking for a a833 four speed to put back into the car. Some one put a 727 auto in to the car it had a four speed because the clutch pedal is still in the car. Well like I said it will be a long gurney for me. Any one with info on part's will help me because I am searching. Be safe on the road or track Russ

Road runner tire size

Hey Guy's what is the largest tire that might go on the rear of my car. I measured the inter fender. Can't get a 12 inch ruler in their so thinking that all that might fit is a 10 wide tire. Looking at mini tub's but look's like a lot of thing's have to be done. I know we use to take a ball bat and roll the fender out so the tire would fit. Thought that would rune the look of the car. Well any suggestion's open to any and all. Safe driving still don't have mine drive able yet.

10 inches is about the max without structural changes like tubbing
