Howdy from Colorado!

From another veteran and 73 Rallye Challenger owner, glad to have you on board. As far as parts go, I first look to the right side of this site for advertisers of products I need. If not there, then just Google the item and start surfing. Cheers!

I love the torque strap (chain) on the driver's side. Once you find main caps (getting hard to find), they will need to save the caps and line bore and hone the mains. At that point, they can deck the block to square it up and then bore and hone the cylinders. Everything else can be gotten pretty easily or even used from your 318 (timing cover and oil pan).

Indeed, that chain was welded in after the original 340 was "lightly upgraded" in 84 with a new cam, headers, intake, coil, and tuning on the original TQ. Enjoyed lots of hard launches and burnouts. I fried many tires as a young man.. lol

Hello all my e-body kin...

Looking forward to getting to know many if not all of you . I am a lifelong Challenger, 'Cuda, and just overall MoPar-obsessed nutcase.

Resurrecting my '73 340 Rallye for the third time and on a perennial sojourn to find my own '70 T/A before I am too damn old to enjoy it.

I've owned my '73 since '81, 3rd owner and she has been with me to Turkey, the Phillipines, Hawaii, and Colorado in that time.

She got buried by the Mt. Pinatubo Volcano in '91 but I was able to get her dug out and shipped home to Hawaii.

Sadly she's been parked and silent for near on 15 years now, waiting patiently for me to give her some tlc. Looking forward to sharing my journey to nurse her back to full street-fighting form.

Cheers

Awesome story about your car and the volcano! Not many can say that!
