    Ken @Oregon said "send it, it will probably clean up".

    5.9L Magnum questions

    The ongoing saga has brought about 2 new questions- never pulled a roller cam before. Was going to send this cam to Oregon Cam to see if they can regrind. Does this type of wear make it useless? The associated lifter looks fine. Question 2- best method for replacing cam bearings? Any help would...

    5.9L Magnum questions

    Been looking around at exhaust options. As far as headers go, I think the Sanderson DD9's are going to be my choice. Kinda cheap, and I hope they flow air better than iron manifolds.

    5.9L Magnum questions

    I'm thinking this grind from Oregon- 213/220 @ .050”, 265/275 adv, .480”/.498” lift, 110 sep, becàuse it looks a lot like this original 340 grind - 0.430in/0.444ex, Dur 268in/276ex. Any reason this wouldn't work well as a 360 roller?

    Was Your First Job at Minimum Wage?

    I was a sub minor in '72, so I only rated $1.15/hr. working as a grunt at a local fish& chips place. Walked to work every day and enjoyed every minute of it. Allowed me a reason to be out of the house, and gave me enough money to buy my own clothes, etc. When I got the raise to the $1.65 min...

    5.9L Magnum questions

    As far as the cam goes, I think I'm going to go with an Oregon regrind. Here are the cams that Ken proposed- any benefit to one over another? Was looking for the same lope my buddy's 69 340 Dart used to have, and it wound up fast. Sadly, he's no longer with us, and I can't ask him if he upgraded...

    5.9L Magnum questions

    So...any methods for improving compression/quench? Necessary, or not so important? Do Magnums really have 9.1 factory compression? Given the low octane gas we have, it almost seems like you could leave it alone...

    I might have chosen to leave the 273 in there, but the drivers side is currently doing double duty as a mosquito fogger. Had to come out anyway...

    5.9L Magnum questions

    Well, I was lucky enough to get my hands on a decent 1998 5.9 Magnum core locally. Supposedly out of a Dakota R/T. Stripped it down that day and was pleasantly surprised at it's condition, considering it supposedly had 100K plus miles on it. Virtually no ridge in the cylinders, and they still...

    New member, just bought this with my son-

    No holes in the floor or supports that I can see so far. Rear quarter has about a 1" hole behind the tire. Some bubble rust on the other side, but for a MI car, I was pretty surprised. Interior underneath that giant window is smoked, and there has been some water intrusion or condensation-...

    New member, just bought this with my son-

    Hi everybody- I've been on the FBBO site for a while after I bought my Belvedere, but this is my first time on THIS site. Was driving back from my daughters house last week and saw this 66 Barracuda on the side of the road. Stopped to look and it didn't seem to be in bad shape. No one was home...
