I am putting a 67 together as well. Cant wait to see how far I get this summer with it. Been taking me far longer than I would prefer,but such is life, lol. Loved hearing yours though! Great work putting it all back together and keeping these old beauty's alive and running! Someone show me a 2024 that is rebuilt and on the road in 50+ years. But I bet you will find a 67 still out there somewhere. Timeless classics are just that, timeless. Beautiful work though, thanks for posting! 😇😁
My uncle bought his 1979 Dodge Aspen from Herbee Dodge. I remember this car when it was on Long Island on the south shore. Sadly, Herbee Dodge is no more and was replaced by Empire Auto Group. Nice to see that it is in good hands. Greetings from Long Island, New York.
Very nice. Simple, but elegant/understated muscle car. I had a '67 GTX, with the same drivetrain, console, and shift lever . It was a strong performer, as I'm sure yours is too. All I added was a Mallory ignition and Hedman headers. You've done an excellent job with this RT.
In 1967 the 440 Magnum with a 4-speed got the special rear leaf springs, with two half leaves on the passenger side, a dual point distributor and a windage tray. The automatic transmission version got none of those for 1967. The 440 was developed in 1966 as a smooth running luxury car engine. All 1966 and 1967 440's were "hand balanced" at the factory. That stopped for the 1968 model year, when they got regular factory engine balancing. The 1967 440 heads are the 915 castings, with improved ports over the 1966 heads. To match the heads, the 1967 440 got a new high rise intake manifold. The 1967 440 heads flow within 3 percent of the 1964 426 Max Wedge heads, with more modern port shape, which is on the inside and not the outside port dimensions, which didn't really change from 1966. Chrysler would pull random 440's from the assembly line to dyno test for horsepower, to make sure everything was going like it should. One published dyno report showed a measured dyno horsepower of just over 355 horsepower, from a random production line 1967 440 Magnum engine. The 1967 carb was a large AFB, but the 1968 AVS carb may have been even slightly larger in flow. The 1970 440 iron intake was improved by opening up the intake under the carb and then for 1971 the intake was improved again by changing the runners to be more like the Weiand aluminum intake manifold. The 1972 intake was the same as the 1971, except it has bosses inside for passive EGR ports, used in California for 1972. The 1967 through 1969 intakes are the same intake.
Stunning car. That said, either this 440 has a hotter cam, or the idle speed is reduced to like 400rpms. It's a shame he's still running the Inland shifter. It's pretty, but they are vague, and cheesy.
After all these years I have never been struck by how beautiful the 66/67 B body is. This thing is stunning. Absolutely stunning.
Joe Friday, 1 Adam 12. It works. But it's not a Pontiac from that era. Stunning is big words. Thanks!
