Does the Charger have a factory 340 magnum? If so does it have the factory raised factory hood with the "340 magnum" emblem

Firebird.
.
If the Firebird is 'clean' - relatively solid with little rust - I would definitely keep the Firebird. Easy decision.
.
And I would immediately - if not sooner - replace the LT4 with a Pontiac 400.

You've got to be insane! That Firebird is a classic! If you don't appreciate it I'll take it! Post a picture!

i have no money to buy a 400, and its got no paint, the only thing with rust on it is the drivers floor pan, theres no interior but the seats, new wheels, tires, brakes, and driveshaft with a 12 bolt rear end, i think 4.10 gears but not sure, i want to keep it, but i dont have any money to invest in it, should i keep it till i have the cash?

posted a pic in my gallery, check it out

keep the bird if it's in good shape. '72 charger is not a desireable mopar, now if it was a 68 yes, or a 69 maybe...

F.Y.I.--------The Ebay Ad says the '72 Charger has a 318 C.I.D. engine with a "340 hood". In other words...the engine is the run of the mill 318 V8. I still like the car; but it may not be exactly original if it has a 318 engine and a 340 hood.
