Moly is better, less friction better heat dissipation but probably opening pandora's box on this one.

Sorry for the delay, we had the craziest storm, 12 " rain in 3 days. So according to 99 Dakota FSM Flex plate bolt torque is 5/16" bolts 17 ft lbs 3/8 " bolts 30 ft lbs as previously stated, fly/flex to crank bolts are 55 ft lbs

i think pp is 24 but I will look it up tomorrow, its a damn typhoon outside right now. Tornado actually touched down on the Oregon coast yesterday!!! Now its just raining horizontally at 45 mph...

The factory pistons use metric rings, doubt you can find metric rings in anything but Moly. If the cylinders are honed, they need to be honed for Moly rings.

not necessarily, in a vehicle with a data buss, you need vin for it to communicate with body computer in some instances or you wont get buss info, also if you have SKiM or alarm, you need vin or it wont start at all.

I bought almost identical car, factory paint is faded but no rust or bondo, it has buckets, /6 and 3 on tree. It was $3500 and runs like its new. If I dont get rid of it, i have a 5.2 w 5 speed to go in it. Interior is as clean as that one, and I can do a lot of work for $18,000. I like the...

going to be expensive to ship. do you need entire thing on both sides?

You are correct, I was tired and not thinking clearly, I should probably not answer posts when I am asleep.

LESS pressure? Its valve overlap ie less lobe separation which holds both valves open together thus lowering cylinder pressure.If it was how you said, you wouldnt need higher compression with a larger cam. :D

Damn, thats more than the one we have made for magnum to A833 that has reluctor for factory injection. Are the T & D offset rockers 1.5 or 1.6 because that cam is listed .535/.550 but with 1.5's which would actually be .570/.587 with 1.6 Pretty serious cam and should be a great combo for...

Magnums have closed chamber heads with small 62 cc chambers so unlike LA engines, they are between 9-9.4 to one from the factory. The variation depends on jjust how far down in the bore the pistons are. If you have a .070 engine you will have right at 9-1 and if you have a .040 you will have...

Glad you figured it out, nothing worse than bad parts right out of the box...

Factory short block at 9-9.5 will make 450. Just what do you consider good power?

It will certainly be more fun than a 318 2 bbl and keep him occupied. Problem solved!

While I dont want to interrupt you guys reenacting West Side Story, let me clarify I have another business that sells Wrangler magnum conversions and since 98, I have had lots of guys doing this install in NY, NJ, MD, RI and Maine. Recently, a customer in Upstate NY bought a 98 Ram for $800...

If you use a cam that will produce 400 hp it will have a nice sounding idle but it wont ever sound like a HFT on 108 LSA with a bunch of exhaust duration. Instead, it will make lots of power, which in my opinion is the purpose of a good cam. with a 3.58 crank, 400-450 HP is pretty easy with good...

The light turns on when there is UNEVEN pressure. If the fluid level is constant, its probably not from a leak. When you say brakes dont work very well, do you mean none of the wheels will lock up ? Front only ? Rear only? I would look at master not being bled properly, was it bench bled? Did...

IQ52, I would be surprised if more tuning of TB injection wouldnt get better results and probably produce better numbers over the carb. Multi port is a very different animal, and does require a good flash to work properly. however, you will have a better end result not only in power but much...

Its the difference between carb and FI, not 5.9 and LA. That can be dealt with easily, you just have to use right combo or it will be a dud.

I would recommend against reusing a flat tappet cam and lifters from another block, 97% chance it will roll a lobe, at least IMHO. Even if it was a good grind for FI, I would say dont.

Roccodart....But it would not be great with injection, even with 112 LSA, factory injection is timed to have roller cam grind, it needs valve opened quickly so you get max shot of fuel in chamber, not gradual opening of flat lobe design.

Do you pay less for machine work or more for magnums?I though magnums were cheap on East Coast, I have jeep customers that pick up whole trucks all the time in NY and NJ for $500-$800. I just paid $185 for guide hone, comp valve job and assy on new heads,if you throw in $150 for good valves...

Without talking to my cam designer/grinder, I would say keep duratiion at .050" around 220, lift .540 with installed height of 1.660 and if your installed height is 1.800 then maybe 226 @.050" lift about .550". ground on 110 LSA . It would be a pretty hot street cam on a 5.9 so in a stroker a...

A valve job, rings, bearings oil pump and gasket kit will cost more than a good running used magnum and will not make nearly as much power.

low profile 17's wont hook nearly as well as smaller rim with taller soft sidewalls. Get a set of 15" MT stickies,some Cal-Tracs and I bet you a half rack you will find 11 second bracket. Skinny front ET's wont hurt either but your issue is traction, not drag.

That cam has a duration of about 240 [email protected], with .528 lift based on 1.5 ratio rockers. With a 1.6 ratio its .563, plus a bit more duration . This will give you a power band in the 3000-7500 range and would want more like 3.55 gears and a big converter, at least 3200. You will have very low...

There are 2 kinds of "tombstones" , depending on if you have bulbs that only need power on one end or both. I prefer the non shunted ones which only need power to one end, wire all 4 bulbs from center of fixture to make it easy. Call the Pro guys, they were great and the first guys that actually...

They change a few times.

I have 6 A108's and a A100 plus several 67-70 PU's. What year?

There is a lot more to it than just bolting a bunch of stuff you have together and expect a good result. Whats the LSA? Whats the duration at .050". Whats lobe lift or is .528" calculated at 1.6? . Factory injection is very picky about LSA and centerline. The injection was designed to work with...
