From what I understand you use a swap specific oil pan, in my case I have a Milodon. Using TTI mounts puts the engine in the correct location fore and aft, Holley has some degree of relocation. Use TTI headers correct for your chassis. Manual transmission users must use a hydraulic throwout...

Although Ive not done the swap yet, I don't believe, in fact I know, you do not need to change the front suspension to install a Gen 3 Hemi into an A body. This is NOT to be factored into the cost of the conversion. Mounts, headers, fuel system, and cooling mods.

I have a 408 W2 motor that now is in the 580HP range. The amount of money in the heads for purchase, porting and valve train is likely in the $4500 range. These still don't flow what a set of over the counter Apache heads do. Then there is the issue of block strength vs cost and availability...

Up for sale is an NOS Hurst Super Shifter 3. Also with the shifter is an NOS install kit for Ford Toploader. Yes, I realize this is a Mopar site and I am selling a Ford mounting install kit. The shifter can be used in a Mopar, I dont wish to separate the two. Part numbers are 491 0001 for...

A while back a fellow in my town bought an ATK BB Chevy. I wasn't really impressed, power was not there. My distaste rose when I saw the cheap offshore rocker arms, I looked into it no further.

I fail to see where I argued that an electric motor does not use electricity to convert to mechanical energy, or where an internal combustion engine didn't convert fuel to mechanical energy. That was never a debate. The only thing in question here is whether varying machines used to convert...

How am I wrong? Can you tell me when I argued this point? A motor, whether electric or internal combustion, does convert one form of energy into mechanical energy. I did not state otherwise. From Wikipedia The term motor derives from the Latin verb moto which means 'to set in motion', or...

Actually, not to be a smart ***, this is not correct. An internal combustion engine is also a motor.

I have had the runaround on shipping from there also. Ended up being blamed on his cousin who was supposed to ship the stuff. When it did arrive the stuff was good.

NOS new in box Edelbrock dual quad air gap for Gen 3 Hemi. This manifold is no longer made. Price is $600 USD plus shipping costs. Manifold ships from Alberta, Canada. I will ship anywhere.

My W2 408, various looks.

W2, or standard port?

Summit Warrior. Shown us the Auto Drags, I love those. I'd likely go with Auto Drag but they have become ridiculously costly.

Likely the case. Mine is converted.

Very old post, I know. Do any of you fine folks on FABO have any more photos of these? I am considering a black set for my 69 Swinger. Any pics, especially on Darts would be appreciated. These wheels are at a fair price point.
