This is my 1966 Chrysler Newport 2-door. Bought new in Sacramento, CA. This car came standard with a 383 big block, 2-barrel carb, power steering, power brakes, 2.76 open rear end gears and air conditioning. The car sat in my neighbors barn from 2004 until I bought it from him and brought it home in December of 2018. I figured out the engine was junk when I tried to get it started once I got it home. I pulled the 383 and located a 1966 casting 440 big block. The 440 was bored .30 over and I rebuilt it using 516 casting iron heads with hardened valve seats, cast flat top pistons, a Lunati Voodoo cam, edelbrock dual plane intake, holley street avenger carb, msd distributor and ignition, and factory exhaust manifolds. I re-used the factory rocker arms, pushrods and other parts that were still usable.
This car has a new gas tank, brakes, dual pot master cylinder, wheel bearings, transmission was serviced and inspected, 3.23 suregrip rear end, 40 series dual flowmaster exhaust with H-pipe, mopar police style wheels and tires and a compliment of aftermarket gauges to monitor the engine vitals. It has about 300 miles on it since the rebuild. I am still working out some kinks but its running great right now.
