You went to that degree of a race car build and you're still using some stock based steering and suspension? Come on, man....You already deviated 90% from a stock front structure, why didn't you build a custom front frame arrangement? From there, you can really see more options as far as...

lol ?? Really? You actually laughed out loud?

The lower ball joints can flip around but this is a really stupid thing to do. It messes with Ackermann angles and bump steer a LOT.

You don't need to change the steering to use headers in these cars, man. TTI, Doug's and others do fit. Who told you that you need to switch to a steering rack ???

I never heard of a Pontiac 316 or a 426. What years and model cars were these in?

1974 was a banner year at Plymouth for the Duster. Heck...I've owned 3 74 Dusters, a 74 Dodge truck, a 74 Dart Sport too.

The Dart isn’t “raced” but I do like to thrash around on dirt roads like them Duke boys. No jumps, just lots of sideways dirt drifting stuff. I don’t think I’ve floated the valves much!

Really? Maybe my expectations are too high. My 383 in Jigsaw idles at higher PSI with similar weight oil but I was the one that rebuilt it and I know the bearing clearances. Same with the 440/495 in my other Charger. Cold idle this 360 is over 50. The roller 360 registered 73 psi while pre-...

The 67 Dart of mine is getting an engine swap soon. Currently this is the warm fast idle pressure in neutral. in gear, it drops to around 12 but does increase immediately with RPM. I don’t think the pump is bad but maybe it needs crank bearings? This mill is standard bore but was...

You saved me some trouble, man. I went into the stash. This upper hose for pre-73 big blocks looks like it will work. I’m using these mufflers from the shed… I’ve had these 13 years, I got them in a parts collection. The number… These are “44” series? Supposedly pretty “aggressive”...

The mother and daughter are annoying, that is a given. The lawyer woman looks to be softening around the edges. I’m not the type that finds bitchy women attractive nor do I see them as a “challenge”. Screw that. I don’t care if high maintenance also brings with it high performance. A ***** or an...

I forgot about the Ford 255. Thanks.

Of all the major manufacturers, I wondered why our LA series was only built in 4 displacements. 273, 318, 340 and 360. Chevrolet ran the table here with the 262, 265, 267, 283, 302, 305, 307, 327, 350 and 400 small blocks. Ford ? 221, 260. 289, 302, 351 and 400. Even AMC had what...the 290, 304...

Hell yeah.....working for a goal and meeting it! I went to restart the registration on the car today.... An hour at the DMV and as I reached the counter, I'm told that I need to have proof of insurance to register. What a pisser! The insurance agent took my info over the phone and...

I find this sneaky and dirty no matter who does it. The goals are never to help the person living there, as read in this thread alone, greedy enthusiasts that think their desires somehow outweigh the right to privacy and protection of their property. Insurance companies looking for ways to...
