Default 1973 dodge challenger 440

Hello everyone. Im new here from upstate NY. I just recently purchased a 1973 Dodge Challenger that has a rebuilt 72 440 in it. My first purchase for the car was a set of 17x7/18x8 foose legend rims. I dropped the front a bit, and now need to get some new rear leaf springs to lower the rear. My gameplan for this car is to stroke the 440 to 510 ci, throw a 6 pack efi kit on it, back it by a tko 600 5 speed, and put a level 1 xv motorsports suspension kit on it. New paint and interior as well, but this is my starting point...

Nice to see another Mopar here. Too many dam, good looking Camaros on here if you ask me. I love XV's products, they look engineered very well. Good luck on the project...and keep the Plum Crazy.
