    Torsion Bar Selection

    I have 73 Duster, which now has a 400hp 360, 727, 8 3/4 that replaced the original 6 cylinder, 904, 7 1/4. It still has the original 6 cylinder torsion bars. It is a daily driver ran occasionally on the track, 13.70's. When two people are in the car, the front rides too low, too cushy, and we...

    Stopping rust under paint?

    Sounds like it needs to be cut out again if I don't want to take chances. If I were to patch it, what steps are needed to prep the area for a nice blend? I wouldn't spray it myself, but I'd rather do everything I can manage so I'm not spending big bucks on labor. (If I were to go this route)...

    Stopping rust under paint?

    The guy who painted the car cut/welded the previous rust spots, but I guess its a wasted effort if he doesn't coat the back of the metal with anything :???: I'm just hoping theres hope to stop it from getting any worse by use of a rust converter/air tight coating. Any recommendations?

    Stopping rust under paint?

    I noticed a few small bubbles forming underneath the paint of the duster... great. rust. It is in the same spot I had trouble with before, right behind the rear wheel in the bottom corner of the fender. Would I just find where the metal is exposed and spray it with a dense paint or a rust...

    Exploding Torqueflites

    I just ordered a B&M TransPak kit for my 727. I then started to wonder if this could interfere with the L/R band and cause it stop working. It is the stock forward valve body, should I have any problems with it? Thanks for any replies 8)

    Firewall for Trunk w/ Nitrous and battery!

    They have pre-made boxes for batteries, although it's kind of pricey http://www.rpmoutlet.com/musv6batt.htm And you'd need a pretty stinkin' big switch if your going to put it in line with the main battery cable if that's what you mean. But you could run wires from stuff like the fuel pump...

    how to get 400+ hp out of my stock 72 340????????????

    Someone on a different site told me a while back (he owned a port shop), nooo polishing, unless your gonna be running 7500-8000rpm+. It's mainly used for the little Chinese cars running around. Smooth surfaces will cause the mixture molecules to stick to the walls of the ports. But If I remember...

    parts to gather

    Your definitely gonna need different motor mounts, the older pokes here could probably tell you if you can steal them from another car, but for a garunteed fit try schumacher. And if the wiring harness is pulled off a sitting car, make absolutely sure the terminals don't have corrosion. A...

    Lokar suck rant...

    I have the lokar kick down cable on my 727 and didn't have any length problems, although I certainly didn't go through the bell housing haha. Mine took a little different route. It goes back, over the tail shaft, forward a bit, over the bell housing, and does a couple of curves on its way up...

    Maybe a dumb question but...

    This is just my guess, but i don't think the fan design would allow to to physically build any pressure. With how far apart the blades are, I'm almost certain that any extra pressure would just slip past them. Cause it's not about how much air it can push, it needs to be able to to act as a one...
