    Getting fed up of high-perf , being happy with less

    In my mind it's always a question of striking a balance. Where is the spot where the extra horsepower starts to interfere with what I want to do with the car. Last year my wife and I drove across the country mostly on 2 lane blacktop. I sure was glad she chose the Plum Crazy paint! Every...

    Source for the skid plate is Taboo Customs, part# P0780 Current price $85 from the fabricator. It bolts over the pan rail using provided longer bolts.

    Pan is from Dorman part #265-839 currently available from Amazon for $32.99 !!! It's a good high quality pan, but for an A-body, get a cheap kit and move the plug to the side of the pan. If you use the Taboo Customs skid you have to be sure that it is not blocked by the side plates.

    It's just the Dorman replacement pan for a 42RH (super inexpensive). The problem is all the stock and stock type pans have the plug on the bottom of the pan. It sticks down and one snag and you have a hole or at least a leak. I didn't need that in the middle of nowhere on Rt 66. The plate...

    How would you rebuild this 318?

    Watch Tesla Cybertruck Beat Ford F-450 Super Duty In Tug-Of-War

    Hood clearance Question

    Thanks for the link! Do you have to have a charcoal canister or something to take the separated vapor?

    How would you rebuild this 318?

    No to 2.02 valves in a 318 bore. You might have to notch the block just to have it not hit and if you do get them in the shrouding would negate the value of the switch. I think you have a great set of heads for a street 318 just the way they are!

    floor pan / outer seat track reinforcements

    CORRECT!!!- give that man a prize... don't forget to put the rubber body plug in the bench seat hole, that's what the factory did.

    Mopar Action magazine

    That is Mopar Collector's Guide (why I cancelled my subscription years ago). That is NOT Mopar Action, which was the most useful one of the bunch. Best tech information available for both mechanical stuff and restoration. Best info about useful parts sources.
