I'm apparently in the .inority here, but I have had terrible luck with harbor freight winches. I have had four (I know, slow learner). My first 2500 worked well for several years, it just wasn't big enough. Modified a mount, built a box for battery and the 9 ton winch, that quit working at all...

I bought a 69 roadrunner cause I wanted it, in spite of the fact it is Bahama yellow. Just like you, it grew on me, I wouldn't want it any other color! (My dad used to call it "baby-s#$t brown) I kinda like the fact that it's a pretty rare color. We sure don't see many at the Mopar shows...

Come mess with mine? (Can you work on a big block? Lol)

Converter Stall is very related to torque output. I'm betting the stall range mentioned is because of that. 273 commando... 3200. Decent 440, 4000 Stout 500" with good heads, and a brake, maybe 5000-5200? Pretty big range, for one converter.

I would unhook the sway bar, and modify the bump stops. I would NOT unhook the front shocks.

The catch is.... can you open and close the door, when you lift it like that? (I can with two out of three, the ones with the full cages. The eight point bar, and subframe connectors, not so much.)

And maybe lousy rocker ratio. (1.5 rocker, maybe 1.45?)

So, it's a tire height/width problem, not a 15x7 wheel problem. (But I do like a 15x7 with 4 1/4 or more bs).

It's either the .557 or .590. Too much lift for a .557, so...... 312/. 590. And my .590 cam with iron adjustable rockers and recommended lash, moved the valves less than .550".

What rear are you narrowing for your Swinger? 8 1/4? (Why?) Or 8 3/4? (Or Dana 60? Or 9" Or 8.8? Or 9 1/4?)

It depends ENTIRELY on rearend width, spring location, and wheelwidth and backspace, what ill fit.....and what won't. Narrowing the rear, and moving the springs, we have no idea what might work. Those measurements will be your job. Do some research. Find out what the backspace is on the wheel...

I'm curious. Why do you think 15x7 with 4" backspace WONT work? I thought that was a fairly universal fits-everything wheel. And, what style of wheel are you looking for? Slots? Lightweight wheels to match the rears, only wider? Steelies? Five spoke? More info please.

Yeah, that would help a little.........

Chinese chevy part, no wonder it doesn't fit.

Assuming you have the center section on a bench, the cone type sg bolts together from the ring gear side (another series of bolts inside of the ring gear bolts), the clutch style sg bolts together from the opposite side of the ring gear. I'm not sure on the buttons (I've got a locker in mine)...

I've spun a bearing or two, but never any devastation like that! I did wound a converter slightly, in front of a glide with a brake (and no two-step).

Is that the "teflon" line? I didn't think Teflon could be used with the standard A/N fittings. I just had three segments of Teflon line made with hydraulicly crimped fittings (steel) about three feet total. Not cheap.

Lol

Daily mail probably doesn't know any better, but the explosion caused the crash (obviously). I guess the headline is more graphic the wrong way.

1970 road runner hood, just taller.

Not anymore, no. But the Golden Greek, Chris Karamesines went 305 in top fuel at the age of 86, in 2018. He hung up his top fuel helmet at 89yo.

Must have been an old Eddie C-454 intake. Would have made a good test piece for this test, with a 4150 with slotted base to bolt directly onto a dommy manifold.

I would assume that an engine with 225 cfm heads and 450hp, would need a bunch more cam to reach 450, than an engine with 300 cfm heads. I would bet the milder cam/better head combo will be a better driver.

I ran a gold claw on my car , the one with the replaceable sleeves. I thought it had 850 sleeves in it, and the car ran well with them. (I also used a 2" open spacer). Imagine my surprise when I did some research, and found they were 770 cfm. I never did change them out for the bigger sleeves I...

Not true, if you have a stick.... or a 5500 converter (speaking strictly drag racing).

Agreed. Imo, the test is,only semi valid. Better would be to use similar manifolds dedicated to the carb of choice...... or best, a manifold for a dominator that has stud holes for a 4150 too, so both can be run on the SAME manifold.... without an adaptor or spacer.. or a 4150 with slots in the...

I have Never believed the hokum that a 4150 could flow as much as a dominator..... except for that weird little 750 one. Explanation? Advertising hype. It doesn't HAVE to be truth.

In that same vein: (my shirt).

I'm gonna have to come back and read this whole thread, but it comes down to the specific combination, as to what it likes. I've seen tests where a 1050 dominator was no better than a (supposedly 1050) 4150. Also... what spacer/adapter was used? Could definitely have an effect.

No fender tag? Paint it whatever you want. That said, bottom side of the trunklid might give you the best look at the original color, to compare to the color charts.
