    A body 8.75" housing

    All bodystyles brakes will work as long as they are from a 3 inch axle tube reaqr end,includeing 8 1/4 8 3/4 D60 9 1/4 . I used B body 8 1/4 on mine. Shock plates fit too. You will end up 3/4 " wider per side with the B or C brakes and axle setup. -

    I have seen Cats eat their young alive too. And I had a black and white Sylvester looking female that would hide black kittens and abandon them. They all seem to have different personalities,my last cat lived 15 years and I decided I dont need another,last week a mother and six kittens greeted...

    how far back does the big block in your a-body sit?

    If the trans crossmember and mount are unaltered then the fore aft position is correct. The upper belhousing bolts are removed from below after dropping the rear of the trans,with a long extension and swivel socket. Its actually easiest to take engine trans and Kframe out the bottom together.

    You won't believe this!!

    Sounds like they have them already made up to fit stock width. Are you keeping the small bolt pattern? I have a Dana housing and 4.10 gears and I am going to do it the hard way and make my own.

    The smaller pieces are in your oil pickup screen. If and when you tear down for new heads take the pan off too and clean.

    Engine pinging? what to do??

    A longer duration on the intake side with a later closeing intake valve might bleed off enough compression to run without pinging. The overlap happens at the end of exhaust/begining of intake cycle and actually raises the compression at some point in the RPM range. I run 10.5-10.65 to 1 on 93...

    the header installation thread.. well, ??? anyway...

    More than 4 inches, I lowered a Dakota that had a 4x4 axle on a 2wd truck. It lowered the rear bumper a good 12 inches. Just get a new set of springs. You can run cast iron manifolds and a good dual exhaust with nearly the same street performance and they dont leak. Headers are notorius for...

    If your Duster is a V8 car 73 or newer all you need are late model spool mounts and make your own DC K frame. Info is at Bigblockdart.com Years ago I started my project and couldnt afford the K frame, I had a 75 fury with a 360 I was junking so I cut off the spool type K frame tabs. Used the...
