I like this idea, I wasn’t sure if this was something I could do but I did think about it. Thanks, I’ve been thinking about going aluminum for along time. But now that I have to remove the heads anyway I was going to do it, I just wasn’t sure which head to go with. Especially with the lack of...

Yes sir you are correct it is .040. I had read a thicker head gasket didn’t lower compression as much as I would think. I’m not 100 percent as I only read it. And I thought a head gasket being thicker may make it easier to push out? Like I said I’m not a engine builder, I did build mine but may...

Thanks! I did have it tuned and dyno’d a summer or two ago I’m not even sure how long it’s been time flys. I have a coworker who runs a blower car offer to lock out my timing but I’ve heard good and bad so I just left it. I was just thinking while I had the heads off anyway it would be a good...

So I pushed out a head gasket and am looking into some aluminum heads to replace the Rhys/Indy lax heads I have on it now. I’m going to put cometic mls head gaskets back on and am looking at the speed masters on jegs sight that say in stock. I’m looking at these ones PCE281.2148 because it says...

So I just came across a old video where they put some trickflow 190 heads on a small block 410 stroker. I looked around on the web and it seems these heads are sold out everywhere I looked. So here’s the question and I know it goes along with how fast u wanna go,do u race and all that. But I...

has anyone got a cowl hood on their 67-69 dart? I typed cowl hoods in on google and a picture of a silver 69 with a cowl hood popped up that said the pic is from forabodys. I have a 6-71 on my 68 dart and would like to put a cowl hood on it that would still show the carburetors and maybe top of...

Before I did a stroker 318 I read a article in mopar magazine that did a 402 stroker I think it was called iron lung sucker punch. Good read, mines a 392 40 over super fun. U might take a look. I believe there pros and do the testing before making a 402 cu. stroker. I’m sure there’s a reason...

So I haven’t been on here in awhile, but just came across a weird episode with my 68 dart. So my hi flow water pump swallowed the coil wire in the lower radiator hose wrapped it up and broke the seal so it stared leaking through the weep hole on the bottom of the pump. Replaced it with another...

Yep, it’s a 4speed. I think with the 40 overbore it turns out to be 392ci.

It just has a champion radiator a thermostat and twin fans just the summit brand. I don’t remember which ones but they cool it well, it doesn’t get hot at all. I put in a switch to turn the fans on manually just in case but I’ve never needed to. And it is mini tubbed with 325/15 Mickey Thompson...

Your right dyers asks what boost you plan on running but depending on your motors breath ability you may end up with a little more or a little less. My pulleys were ordered for 8lbs of boost but I got 5lbs. But 5lbs of boost on my dart is more than enough for what I do with it.

I think you can get as much as it’s willing to give till it breaks.

I agree a blower sticking out of your hood is the definition of cool. I know turbos and pro chargers can make awesome power but I’m not into spending a bunch of time and money fixing and re-buying the stuff I already bought after breaking it at the track.

Thanx
