i have a 72 roadrunner 340 engine sitting on a stand, but never paid much attention to the changeover,, thanks for the heads up. regarding early blocks in later cars, I helped junk out a 1974 charger R/T 440, and it had the 440 with casting date of jan 1971. Apparently there was a bunch of...

A year ago this august I was Interested in the details of Nicks Kowalski build. So I emailed him, assuming he would get back to me in a month or so, But I left my number on his machine.. At 8:15 the next morning he called me, and we talked thru his engine build, as I had questions on which...

I am also preparing to re-assemble my 68 GTS 383 Car, and almost ready to paint 69 Barracuda 383 four speed.

I have owned the Dart since 1990, and the Demon since 2014 The GTS is the 340, and the Demon is a trusty and Mrs magoo type screaming 225 slant six!

Three originals in green, and a barracuda 1969 in progress! I clearly love green Mopars,,,,,

I tend to look at the guy's shop. if it is nasty looking with junky worthless cars and a chicken coop in the back yard, then I recommend not posting on U tube. You are judged by your appearance, so people quit listening. then throw in the shade tree mechanic thing.(I actually like chickens, but...

I do not watch tony, as so much stuff he says is wrong.. I love the 273, either in two or four barrel mode. I own a 65 GT four speed Dart lifetime until me Arizona car, and a 69 273 Dart. I prefer 273 engines in that every one I ever had also gets better mileage, and will run with a 318 in the...

My advice is focused on you having a hard pedal but ineffective stopping power,,,,if that isn't the case then Ignore me. But,,,The nine inch brakes just don't don't work well with any wheels larger than the original 13 inch rim. i know, as I have a 71 demon slant six that would stop only very...

You have a very valuable barracuda! This 68 GTS is JJ1 Gold Pearl

In the last 6 weeks I have sent a package via USPS to flagstaff via Phoenix from Omaha. should be a straight shot,,,, eight days to flag.USPS said 2-3 days. second time a package to Mesa arizona,,,,again 8 business days.They said 2-3 days Third time we took it to fed ex. They delivered...

I also have one that I would sell for $600 bucks,,,,,in Omaha

My 69' 340 was rebuilt to stock specs,all original.91 octane nebraska gas and the engine runs fine, no ping. however for fun, I mix 2 gallons of 108 in the tank every once in a while,,just for entertainment. That Dart loves that!( 8.00 per gallon)

USAF active 1970-1974 I spent 18 months in Minot With the 5th OMS helicopter detachment. we Transported Missile crews as the primary mission. Then, God smiled on me, and I escaped SAC in July of 72' to Howard AFB (Panama) with the 24th CAM squadron,UH1-N. That was a great assignment, with the...

you clearly didn't read my second post, did you?

My first charger bought in Phoenix in June 1974 was a 318 with the manual three on the tree. green all around, factory A/C ,P.S. and power brakes. drove it back to nebraska and ran great! $400.00 Bucks!

sorry about that, I blame my glasses,never mind

is it just me, or does that transmission look a little funny to be in an E body?( no rear mount) I believe even the three speed needed the rear mount for the shifter, front mount for the B body. I can't swear to it though. The driver sits further back in an E body, hence the shifter sits back...

could you pm me, as I am interested in your engine. Tim

got that, PM me. from a 71 Duster

I sent you a PM

ok thanks,,,

does the car have the 8 1/4 rear?

I am referring to a car driven under normal driving conditions. I am not referring to racing or modified cars. I have been working on mopars since 1966, and I have never seen a bar break from a score. so I strongly disagree with your concept of what a score is. bars do go flat, or get badly...

yes, it was my father-inlaws, who passed in 2008. He bought it new in july 1974, and has 30,000 actual miles on it.Last of the carburated four speed beetles. it has a few scrapes from grandma trying to get in the garage, but that is it.

Once the 68 Dart is done, this is the next project. 1969 Barracuda 383 four speed.no rust,no dents,70k actual miles,fender tag is there, all matching, excpt original eng was stolen in 1976 or so. Now I have a 68 38 GTS engine dated six weeks before this car. That is the best we could hope for...

scoring will not damage the bar. However, two conditions can cause the bar to break. the first is if the lower A frame bushing collapses, causing the housing in the frame to crack and allow the bar to move around and break. another cause (rarely) but defective bar when manufactured.

I am finally getting around to reassembly of my 68 GTS gold pearl color.with work and friends passing, it is taking a little bit longer. 383 numbers matching car,

Times have really changed. When I bought my GTS in 1990 it was simply a cool old car, now it is a down payment on a house.

I had good luck with Vercelli tires, at tires-easy. they are sturdy,(max psi 44lbs) look nice and handle very well. Made in Thailand.......

I would say the owner does it his self, or be prepared to pay. few people are knowledgable enough to make short work of it. There are so many variables to consider, Including the possibility of worn out A frames, upper or lower, tired torsion bars, tie rod ends, Idler arms, pitman arms, labor...
