    Found out my Dakota R/T moves pretty good

    I've had 2 Club Cab's, a Red 99 & silver 01, the '99 ran 13.60's in full street trim on street tires, the 01 was stock. The 99 was a money pit, I paid 25k for it new and spent another 15k making it how I wanted, I got the 01 when the 99 was getting a bit much to drive everyday. They are...

    87 or 89 octane in a new Hemi, does it matter?

    At least in my Ram MPG tanks on 87, 14-15 at best, 18-19 on 89 E10 and 20-21 on 89 Gas, this is pretty much all Hwy, I drive 100 miles round trip everyday.

    Help fix my flimsy metal!

    Heat up a spot in the middle if the oil can area until it's red and quench it with water, it will shrink the metal, you may have to do it in 2-3 other areas but smaller to get all of it out. A shrinking hammer works but you also run the risk of making it worse if you don't know what you are...

    Largest SB Hyd. Cam with Stock Springs/Rockers?

    It depends on the condition of the springs and if they have rotators, I have ran a MP 280/.474 with stock springs & rockers on a 360- the motor had 6k miles and the springs didn't have rotators. It may have had the 340 type springs in it too since the motor came out of a 74 360 Duster that was...

    4" vs. 4.5" bolt pattern

    If it's an A body with drums on the front it has 5x4" wheels- all the way thru '76.

    New Exhaust for my Duster?

    I would go over the rest of the car really careful since the exhaust is cobbled together like that- who knows what else is done with the same quality- electrical, brakes, brake& fuel lines etc. For exhaust I would leave the 340 manifolds on it, get a set of 2.5" headpipes from TTI and get...

    came upon a 76 dart donor car w/ 318

    If the 76 has a good drivetrain the swap is really easy, drop the K frame with the engine still on it and unbolt the upper control arms from the rails and stick it under the 67, the rear is even easier, 12 bolts, shocks and e-brake cables and roll that under the 67, the driveshaft from the 76...

    Two Questions/Old School

    I would drive it as is and don't cruise faster than 60mph, I used to run 4.88's and 275/50 BFG's in my driver and I'm about 65-70 miles from the track, with the cam & heads you have humming down the hwy at 4,500 isn't a problem. As a side note I did switch to 3.91's later and didnt lose any...

    How hard could it be to sell a 318?

    I've never had luck selling 318's either, I think the most I paid for one was $100 and it had a good 904 behind it and was still bolted to a A body K frame. I usually end up giving them away to people that are just starting out and can use it.

    What are 2.02 J heads worth?

    J's are pretty common on early 71 360 C bodys also, not just the 340 cars, I have a set of 2.02 J's that came off a 71 Fury 4 dr than had an untouched 360-2 with single exhaust, the date on the block was 10-70.

    Floorpan Rust

    Nothing you can do really besides cut them out and start prepping for new pans, the guy who had my Dart was driving it with them like that and it needed a trip to the frame machine to get the unibody straightened back up before I installed new pans. I would cut them out to prevent the rust...

    Paint inside of valve covers?

    You should be OK without the baffle, I ran without them for 90k miles with no problems on a Dakota I had because it interferes with 1.7 rockers.

    0-60 in 6 seconds?

    Thats because of the crappy tires they had, 6 sec 0-60 is about what a 15sec car runs.

    Rear end swap- Anybody know trucks?

    Going by the info it's most likely an 8.75, if it's on top of the leafs it could be a B body rear also, under the leafs it's a pickup rear. I've found 8.75's in stranger places - found one under a '90 B van hightop conversion - the van was unmolested otherwise but had a 742 center and 5x5.5"...

    Sell my Duster or 360 Swap??? Help?!?

    Yeah I probably should have done the same, it was the 6th Duster I've had so I didnt think much of it at the time, It was just another Duster so I figured I would go pick up another one. The bad part is it's now wrecked and sitting on blocks in the guys driveway.

    Sell my Duster or 360 Swap??? Help?!?

    If you have a car with a good body already I would stick with it and do a V8 swap, even if you spend 5k on the swap you will still come out cheaper than buying a V8 car with a good body. I had a 73 Duster I'm kicking myself for selling, it had a great body with no rust, 90k miles and I had...

    Temporary exhaust system

    If you have stock exhaust run it until you have the $$$ to change it. If you were just breaking in the cam and didnt have any exhaust I have used manifolds and about 1' of pipe for the break in. For the exhaust system try the summit/jegs system with the house brand headers- you can't beat a...
