Congratulations on your purchase, beautiful car and thank you for joining our forum. I love that you put dual exhaust on the car, in my opinion big block cars need dual exhaust not single
I too remember this car in Carlisle last year in 2020.....

I thought about this for a hot second when it was listed. I quickly came to my senses. It seems to have found a caring owner.

Very nice looking car. Excellent looking 4-door sedan! Color is great. No cracks in the dash. Nice.
Looking forward to seeing you guys also later in the year with your cars!

I was pretty excited to see it at Carlisle, as it was the only other 71 sedan I’ve seen besides mine and Mike’s. If you’re over on Facebook, I invite you to join 1970-1971 Dodge Polaras and Monacos.

A four door sedan is what started me off. A brown, 318, no air, basic DE car. After the 318, then 340, then 400-4, then 440-4, then 440-6, back to the 440-4. A lot of 904s and 727s went into that car. .
Love the 4 door sedans

I like these Dodge full wheelcovers the best...for one they fit 15 inch wheels that just look better than the 14s. The other period correct look would be the aluminum red circle Dodge dogs...this way you could again switch to 15 inch wheels.
I also had a 1971 Polara Sedan...solid cars they are.

That's the one.

Wow! That is nice! The interior looks brand new. How many miles?

I'd believe that to be true, that's got to be one of the lowest mileage '71 Polara's out there!

I think David Landon’s ‘71 was super low miles too, with his being the pale yellow 360 sedan from Arkansas. I always thought Delmae was low with 48k miles
What are your plans for the motor for Delmae?

As of right now, its a nice looking table in the garage.
But current plans (since you also have a 383-2bbl):
- Full reseal of everything
- Ported 906 heads (possibly shaved) with 2.14/1.81 valves
- 1.6 roller rockers
- Edelbrock DP4B intake (might spend the money to have them port matched)
- 635 cfm Carter AVS from a 1971 383 HP car (#6125S but will be looking for a #4968S from a 440, which flows 750 cfm)
- HP manifolds
- Hopefully reuse stock bottom end and pistons but if not, probably .30 over with L2315 pistons (I want 9.5 to 1 compression MAX)
(Still need to buy the following):
- HP oil pump
- Comp Cams XE274H
- Electronic Igniton from Joe White and Rick Ehrenberg
- An air grabber intake would be nice
- Rebuild the original torque converter to match the cam or buy a neutral balance flex plate and torque converter
