I KNOW ITS NOT A CHALLY....BUT I ALWAYS WANTED A 4 SPEED DUSTER, BOUGHT THIS SAT NIGHT....SUPER CLEAN...FULL RESTO...NEW 38O HP CRATE....THINK IT WILL GIVE MY CHALLY A RUN TOO!....

VERY VERY nice! A lightweight A-Body is a fun ride! Congrats Jeff! Those 380/360 5.9 magnum crates are a powerhouse engine. They have always made more than the reported 380 H.P. rating! A 12 second ride I'm sure! I have one in my W-150 4x4 Dodge truck. It's been faithful for 10 years. No problems ever!

Sweet ride

i love a bodies,i used to have a few they are very solid cars!

I think the 390 H.P. version has the big valve 2.02 heads. It will say R/T cast into the head near the outer bolts towards the front of the casting.

any year difference....did they make both the same year....i think this motor from late 90's early 2000's

You mean did they make a 380 horse and a 390 horse the same year? I think they did for while. Just look on the passenger side of the block, it should have MP part number on it somewhere. Then just match that number to the various MP parts catalogs on the crates available. Either way that engine doesnt disappoint for how little they cost and how easy they are to setup out of the box.

thanks pally..............!
