the blue KS bird

[KS69RdRnnr]

stripped the front down pretty far, took the fenders off along with alot of other front end stuff. My radiator support is a bit bent on the driver side, tried taking some measurements from the cowl but dunno what im doing really lol :lmao: from what i can see the driver side seems to be back just a smidgen from the passenger side. Ill get some pics up tomorrow when daylight hits so I can see it all better.

hoping to weld a floor pan in soon and get the cab solid again

Loving this weather!! perfect for MOPAR

Looking good 400s kick ass but look just like a 383 externally. I would keep it.

 

[KS69RdRnnr]

needing some funds for other fixes to the roadrunner. the 400 block has that pesky iron crank too.. I like my 68 383 with the steel crank

 

[KS69RdRnnr]

super cold in the old bird barn.. itching to work on it but cripes i need a heater out there.

 

[KS69RdRnnr]

[KS69RdRnnr]

Go to the 440Source website & read up on 400 blocks. They are the way to go. A stroker kit will come with a steel crank.
