Okay, I might get laughed at but, here it goes! I found a rust free complete 1972 Dodge B300 van. It is the shorter version, which is slightly longer and wider than an Astro van. Anyway, I want to bag this thing, dump it on some 20 inch wheels, and shake the windows outta the house when it fires. I'm going for the retro '70's look with modern engineering and styling. I want to spend the bulk of my budget on the body and paint. I'm thinking jet black with some ghost flames or somethin.
Anyway, which motor combo is the most desireable? It sounds like the 440 is the motor I want from doing a search, but I'm not real clear on which tranny to put behind it. I have a Gear Vendors over/under drive in my dually, and I was thinking of using one in this build up as well. That way I can gear it down for that "arm streching" feel! Is there an overdrive auto that will stand up to the 440?
