1963 Dodge Polara

Randy Edwards writes: My 1963 Dodge Polara now has 30,000 original documented miles. The paint is 80% original, interior is 100% original, but the drive train is all new.

I put in a Max Wedge set-up for show and a little go. I started with the stock 1963 Max Wedge 3447s carbs, cross ram intake, 286 heads and Max exhaust manifolds. The short block is a 440 bored 70 over with a stroked crank with 7.5 rods, and 12 to 1 compression. The 727 push button transmission was rebuilt for this motor by Dynamic Racing, and other features include a Dennis drive shaft, Mosher axles and a Randy's Ring and Pinion 3rd member.

I'm very happy with the performance and dependability. The car always wins its class at the car show and runs a 12.22 1/4 mile.

This is a car for a life time.....

Thanks Randy!

Your Dodge was posted as the July 1999 " Mopar of the Month" before the new drive train, featuring a dual quad poly 318.

Back then you were debating a big block transplant.

The Max won out, and it does look great in your Dodge!
