i just got rid of a 1980 vette it was a mess the 80 is the only year with a 305 in it and you couldnt get a manual trans. there are a ton of parts for the old vettes but to go original they are expensive and one of the worst things about the vettes is everything runs off of vacuum lines and the rot out and random stuff just stops working, headlights etc

lets see if this counts:

78 chrysler cordoba that came with a big block 400. a local junkyard had tons of old chryslers and i picked up an ORIGINAL 1962 413 max wedge motor!!!!! those things are rare!! since the cordoba had a big block, the 413 bolted right up to the motor mounts. also because the car was a big block, it had a 727 torqueflite tranny from the factory, a very strong transmission that if built properly is able to withstand up to 1000 ft-lbs of torque.

so here i am with a 1962 factory max-wedge; a little history on it: in 1962 chrysler intoduced the a modified 413 which later came to be known as the max-wedge, it was really an all out drag engine available on special order. the offical designation was ramcharger 413 (dodge) or superstock 413 (plymouth). the heads had ports that were 25% larger than stock 413's, and contained larger exhaust valves (1.88"). it had a solid lifter cam and an aluminium cross ram dual 4-barrel intake (used later on special order 426 hemi's). 2 carter AFB 659cfm carbs were used. also equppied were cast iron headers and forged aluminum pistons. the compression ratio was 13.5:1 and it produced 420hp and 495 ft-lbs of torque. the only change i made from stock was an electronic ignition and distributor.

well i rebuilt this thing to stock specs, made the 727 tranny a manual shift valve body with 3200 stall converter, and some 410 gears. best i ran was a 12.32 1/4 mile time at 115 mph. not bad for a boat looking chrysler car.
