1976 Dodge Aspen Just Dodge review from North America
"Pretty good for $3,000!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I first got the car, the gas tank was rusted. I put a fuel cell in the trunk. Then the oil pressure went bad. I had to replace two lifters and two push rods. No problems since.
General comments?
I bought this car for $3,000. It is not a street car. Drag strip only.
Its best time is 14.05 at 96 mph, with Mickey Thompson E/Ts 26x10.5 inch tires.
It has a 383 Edelbrock Performer Rpm intake. A 750cfm Edelbrock carburetor. And a 3.91 posi mated to a 727 transmission.
The heads came off of a 440.
The 383 is out of a 1968 Charger.
The body is perfect. No rust anywhere. It's a fast car and I am going to make it faster.
And by the way, when I bought this car it had never been raced. The engine, carburetor, intake, ignition, gages, the whole engine and third member were all new or rebuilt!
