Hi All
11 weeks later, I have completed the bottom of the car, everythig got rebuilt, detailed, replaced. I mean everything. It looks like new under there. For you new members to this Forum, I am putting a Magnum 5.2, computer, MPI. lock up over drive 518 trans into a 72 Dodge Polara. You can see the progress in my oter thread, http://www.cbodydrydock.com/forum_viewtopic.php?8.5948
I am convinced, I am the first to do a C with a Magnum
Today I completed the remanufacture of the Magnum that's going into my 72 Polara. ZERO miles! The trans has to be assembled yet, but all the sub assemblies are ready. Need a couple of hours to finish it. I gotta' tell you, it looks so cool in black. We put the oil pan and pick up from the original 360 on the magnum so it will fit the C chassis. Motor got the works inside, .020 over bore, the crank I got was perfect, so it's just polished, a slightly over stock cam, new lifters, everything. It will be in the car this week.

We're having an Engine Dropping Thursday evening. All are invited. All the sub parts are ready and the wiring harness is done.
Mann let me tell you. . . This is the fastest I ever tackeled a project. Let alone deviate from stock and in 12 weeks.
I found a Monaco, complete car, so I got all the misc. parts I needed and the Monaco rear bumper! AND! in georgeous condition. (I hate the Polara rear bumper, but love the front) So I will have a Polara custom body and a Monaco rear bumper making the car a Polaraco.
The Monaco also has a 50/50 split front seat with reclining passenger seat. Sitcherbobert is going to use that instead of the Lincoln. Bob said he can make the seat like a couch and really luxurious. I can't wait!
Now all I need is a set of power seat tracks. Not sure of the back seat yet, If it has an arm rest, we'll use that instead of retrofitting an armrest into the Polara seat.
Which reminds me, I need a set of power seat tracks and switches for a 50/50 seat. New Yorker Broaghm or Imperial. Anyone got any or can get me a set?
Pictures Thursday or Friday
