I bought my car back!

I can get behind this, its definitely unique is it bad i don't mind it as much as some other car mods?

This is what I was thinking along but the only way to really know is to fix whats visually broken and go from there

I have a pic of the axle buried in my phone somewhere or a video of it Edit: actually I dont so ill peep tomorrow at it

I'm pretty sure its the 8 and a quarter...

Was thinking since it has a new rad already id just run a dual electric fan setup and rid the old mechanical fan off the V10. Slimmer and makes more room. If I can remove the shroud and fan off of a 400 big block and keep it at 190 (fan is on rn tho btw) then I believe that rad will keep a V10...

Yeah but the rats already got to the car. When I got the newport I had $1500 and it was either that car, the 83 imperial, or a 65 plymouth fury II sedan

Its a 400 B motor, big block

I dont know if its lock up or not tbh, my car is a 77 newport if thats what you're talking about

I dont think the converter is bad, I think its the trans / rear end. I've already established that a guys budget is very limited to begin with and the V10 swap wouldn't be anything anytime soon. But I will keep that in mind for future reference ;)

The V10 uses the cummins pickup bellhousing pattern in order to use a bigger Converter / clutch A stroker 408 would make just as much power as a basic V10 and cost 3 times as much. Plus, why not have a 10 cylinder in a fat car? 8 isn't enough sometimes :D

I feel like since the trans problem started around the same time the car started singing the USSR anthem and doing communist things, that the filter is likely not a problem But I haven't checked it so im going to start with rebuilding the rear as I feel it will be the easiest to rebuild, then...

I can definitely save up a couple thousand and cram a v10 in there!

Yeah looking into it thats a terrible amount of work, having to pull all that electronic wiring vacuum bs and replace it with new parts that don't exist aren't exactly handy. Its more time then its worth. Could slap the 400 in a old dodge truck, keep the newport around and swap the 8.0 V10 in...

I live in the middle of nowhere with my own land, so fortunately there is no HOA or city ordinances to worry about. Its hillbilly heck out here haha. I do understand that circumstances and limitations are different with other people. I do feel like anything 74-78 would work right up with my 77...

This is what I'm hoping and that I can just save up and stick a rear end in it! Or go the budget upgrade route and swap a 9 1/4 in. That will never die! Or considering getting another car, still thinking though

Yes, I have definitely learned the hard way. Fortunately I have a number of old Ford pickups to drive still

Will try but thata not too easy. Down here there isn't exactly any gold Mines of mopars around here. U actually considered parting the car out and buying a 83 imperial I know of, keeping the wheels, tires, and motor, and swapping the 400 into it. The body is good and the paint is good...

The rear end is definitely making alot of noises. Also I barely have $300 to my name :)

This is just unsafe and looks like crap
