that's your lower ball joint. and yeah, that looks wasted from here. pro tip: take off the rotor and make your life easier, if not lighter at least.

it'll get easier. now chop chop sizzle chest! you're behind book time!

i would *strongly* advise you to get a hold of a factory service manual and review it. besides the diagrams and working practices it also has the torque specs for reassembly. cruise on over to mymopar.com and download one for what you're working on. points of interest: >unload the torsion...

considering this is your first time doing this, and you don't have the proper tools? that seems about right. if it's your first go around, R&R'ing a set of UCA's is a solid day long job.

*sad trombone* that's the way of the (mopar) world sometimes. also, if the LBJ is that roached, chances are your lower control arm bushings are waxed *** too. along with everything else. are you in for a full front end rebuild? *shakes magic 8 ball* "you may rely on it"

yes. pop it back in. leave the ball joint castle nut a few threads on and crack it off the spindle. support the lower control arm so it doesn't go flopping all over the place when you take off the nut and pull the upper arm away. namely, watch you don't stretch and bust a brake line. if you...

sounds like a solid deal!

is the ball joint still connected to the spindle? if so you're gonna have a hell of a time chasing that around trying to get it to pop loose.

F/S: OE gas tank, comes with some padding. great strap! needs work. you don't see these any more and they are getting harder to find. $500 FIRM. will consider trades for pit bull puppies-- blues only!! all kidding aside, that's odd for it to rust out on top. any collateral damage?

nah i missed it. but a tank? pfft! tis but a flesh wound! but hell yeah, let's make it happen. takes a village and all that.

from the photos that's a lovely looking car with tons of potential and way, way too nice to part out. if you're in over your head on the motor, sell the whole thing to somebody else and search out something that's more in tune with your skills, budget or the amount of work you want to take on.

oh, foot notes are required. as is standards for font and margins. i provide a style guide for the papers in my syllabus at the beginning of the semester. didn't you get the email?

d i require a 1200 word essay on what exactly you don't like about it and why it's not a good match. please cite any sources in the bibliography and index. assignments are due thursday at 10am and i will deduct points for assignments handed in late.

+1 to everything max said. until you really do a tear down inspection everything is speculation. as things are discovered different plans will have to be made. for instance, if the bottom end is fine you can get away with a hone and re-ring and some bearings. but say the heads are waxed? do...

lolz. i'm socal native but have lived and worked in a wide array of locales and the whole "dry heat" is a very real thing. humidity kills me, because i'm a delicate flower. full disclosure: i worked in NO and beaumount for a spell. no thanks. gimme 108 and 10% any day of the week. oh and...

i think you need to upgrade the carb? clearly the factory settings should be: gumbo, mardi gras and hot as balls

*cuts eyes* i shall thrash you with a well used fan belt.

used? AFB 625/650 (or eddy performer 600) new? AVS2 500 either with electric choke.

thank you for this. 1000x thank you for succinctly putting it in the words that everybody can understand.

i haven't bought a stroker kit from them, but i picked up pistons for a build. i was more than pleased with the price and customer service. there was a little mix up with the rings and pins and even though it was months later they were excellent to deal with in getting it resolved. 10/10 would...

i do not own a minivan. closest i've come there was a 68 chevy sport van 108. wonderful little van. 10/10 would own another one. your 2018 taurus looks like something a midlevel regional manager at ross dress for less would drive. that's like, the car that resourcing reserves for you on a...

that sounds too much like Mini Van Damme, which would be far too cool for Dal the Naan.

i think @MonkeyMadness has a 392 stroker in his D series truck? maybe he can weigh in.

ftfy ;D

Dan Dan the minivan man likes his taurus with dal and naan!

i've had good luck with jasper and ATK and their warranties are pretty decent. the only issue is that most all of the long blocks they sell are smogger, so you'll need to seal up the air ports in the heads. if i was in your position, i'd go about it one of two ways. order up a short block and...

where are you coming up with this malarkey?!?? too much rum and too much sun for you matey dan! time to head below deck for some shut eye matey!

oh, that was a typo. but i'm kinda digging it. Dal the man nocar! comes with a side of naan and jasmine rice!

so noted DalTheMan NoCar

i mean clearly. should we address you as Daniel NoCar. or do you prefer Mr. NoCar?
