I've actually wondered about that. I believe it was Castrol but it was a few years ago now

Block definitely, heads were long enough ago that I honestly didn't remember. I believe they magnafluxed the block at that time as well.

I didn't see one on my initial look, but it's definitely possible. I think the strangest thing to me with all of this is that the cooling system pressure test held. I would've expected to see some pressure loss with the coolant pushing somewhere as green as that oil was.

I know that's true, I'd just think it would be obvious. I'll make sure to monitor it more closely.

Not that I've noticed although it's basically been parked for 2 years so it's hard to tell for sure. It was just weird what when I pressurized the coolant system it held pressure - I would've expected that to push coolant somewhere.

Is the intake manifold still suspect on a big block? I wasn't sure if that was only on the small block cars. Thanks for the heads up on the timing chain.

I stuck a boroscope down the cylinders and everything seemed to look okay. Carbon buildup - seems like the car has been running rich based on that and the plugs but I think that's unrelated.

Hey all, It's been kind of a long road but I'll try to hit the important parts. 383 rebuilt about 7 years ago, but probably has less than 1,000 miles on it. Spring 2022, I went to change the oil and get things going for the season and it was milky and very green (picture attached). Car sat...

^Shoot, I'd like an electric impact for myself. He has a pretty decent pneumatic one, though. As far as shop tools, he's looking for a nice lift, but that's more money than I have to give.

It's fairly complete, all I can really think of is manual trans stuff. Maybe some nice heads, but I don't know that he really wants to tear into the motor anytime soon. He'd probably like some 15" Cragar S/S wheels if they had wide tires on 'em.

That actually sounds really cool, but we're in Northeast MO. Awesome idea!

^He's not a member on here. He's not much for the internet, haha. Only uses it when he needs to. I should probably also mention that he's not a drinker, so not really any interest in anything alcohol related.

My dad is a lifelong mopar guy. He had a 69 dart when he was 18, and when I was 18 we got one for me. He now has a 73 340 'Cuda. Father's day is coming up, and he's turning 60 a few days after. Any ideas on what I should get him? I'd love to set him up with a 4 or 5-speed swap for his E body...

Man... That's my city. I had heard about it in a facebook group but I'm just now seeing the article. I drive that stretch of road several times every week. Praying for his family.

^I don't know, but I want to know, haha. I don't think that's something I'll need to worry about for another couple hundred horse. Car's going to be a cruiser. I guess~400hp, with 3.55s and a 4-speed should be plenty of fun. If anything I'll be more worried about a big gust of wind while headed...

Update: I found one at glasstek that is a little smaller so I guess that's the new frontrunner.

69 Dodge Dart. I've got an extra hood and it's almost paint time so I'm looking to stick a scoop on one. Right now I'm leaning towards the unlimited products hemi scoop, since it seems to be fairly subdued (only 4.5" in the front and it slopes down to 2" in the rear). The AAR one just looks...

PM sent

Does the big block sitting in my shop waiting for a rebuild count? Stopping in after my first class. Good morning fellas. Tony

Thanks!

They aren't for the dart, by the way.

Hey guys, I'm in need of some bearings and it seems like I can't find them this side of the Atlantic (i.e. in the US). Here's what I'm trying to find. 6008-2RSR QTY 5 61915-2RSR QTY 5 FAG seems to be the main producer (that I can find, anyways) but I'm fine with another as long...

It is to convert to a newer 2-bolt brake master cylinder from a factory 4-bolt style.

I hope this is some encouragement. Last summer, a friend of mine checked into the hospital because he thought he had bronchitis. It turned out that some virus, or something, was attacking his heart. He had less than a 5% chance of survival more than once. Almost everyone he knew came together...

Ha. It blows my mind how much guys go into debt for boxes. I'm no professional. I see how the tools are worth the extra money, but man, the box? The dude could've bought kobalt or craftsman boxes and a small house, LOL. Is the name-brand box actually that much better?

Dad always tells me never to sell anything. I think it would be really cool to restore the numbers matching block. If the heads can't be made to work, buy a set, but I'd keep the originals. I'd figure out what it will cost to fix the block vs what you can buy a block for vs what you can buy...

17" steelies maybe? I couldn't find 18" steelies but those might look pretty tough as well. Are you just wanting a better compound or are you looking to widen things up in the front? 18s should clear your tie rod end, and there are some guys running 275s on the front with those (I was too...

Ha! Man, even the Germans do it. One of my good friends at school just bought a BMW (2010 I believe) and the thing had hard plastic sun visors. It wouldn't bother me, but, well, he's the type of person that buys a BMW :D so he had to switch them for the cloth ones that match his headliner...

Thanks guys. I picked one up while I was out. I'm cautious with this re-man. Maybe it's the inexperience speaking but I at least expected the finish to be decent. Instead it's already got lots of rust spots from sitting out in the shop for a little over a month. I'm probably just paranoid...

Thanks. Do you run the ones like mentioned (seems like it would fit in the return line) or the bigger ones that look like fuel filters?
