While I agree, I do t think he has any illusions of W8 performance. IMO, the search here is for a better cam than he has with taking advantage of the ports capabilities. Once the overlap and power band are found for his combination he’ll be in good shape. That’s true

That cam should work very well in a 408 with those flow numbers and over 12:1.

You’re never going to see anyone pay $90,000 for a stock 318 Valiant or Dart. Dan Short from Fantomworks has stated that people are idiots if they think that their cars can be restored for $50,000. If you do everything yourself, it is possible but paying for body and paint on an A body isn’t...

Awesome Nice car and welcome to the forum. This is the perfect place to learn what you need Have fun

I have a 340 .040 over block with no main caps. This was a running motor but something happened and water got in a few cylinders. Ended up finding another 340 and I had to use the main caps from this block. I'm sure it will need sleeves. $200 + the ride

Just realized the choke rod wasn't installed. It is now. The car had a manual choke cable on it, that's why it was removed. Thanks, Scott

More carb and probably rpm with that large 50 number on the camshaft, probably get in the 800 range I would bet ! I would think with that large 50 number camshaft and heads that dude will rpm on up there !

I see that can be had with a carbed top, I just wonder if it would fit under a Hemi scoop? Looks badass, but very tall!

Just like the title states. 3.55 open 3rd member for 8.75 rear end. It's a 841 case. I'll do $100 + shipping. Thanks!

Very cool! My grandfather's 71 Swinger got me into Mopars. My cousin in Waverly, Alabama still has the car, but I think he's just letting it sit and rot. I'm just 70 miles south of you in Jones County.

Yes, plus ALL of the early "oddball" 8 3/4 rears like from the early 60s on back were 741s as well, even though they sported different casting numbers. They were all the 1 3/8 pinion stem. Also, the Ford 8.8 pinion shaft "I believe" is smaller at 1.320". I could be wrong about that, but for some...

Just joined. We’ve had a 71 Dart in the family since my grandfather bought it new, now starting to do a little work on it. Just here to learn anything I need to know about the car.

:rofl: That would almost be believable except for the fact that other shops have done high dollar restorations on A-bodies. You can't just say it's unprofitable and no one does it- it's been done, the cars are out there, you can see them in the old magazines and they've been at the auctions...

You're right... Just a simple ground..!

I honestly didn't think it had been that long. Now I'm even more worried.

Everything seems to be on track again... To all that chimed in, offered advice and help, THANKS..!! As always, MUCH appreciated...!!

Again, can't thank you enough for the time and info... The simplicity of the issue is sometimes hidden by the ignorance of one, me..!

LOL. Just had a nice conversation, turns out the body battery ground was disconnected, and pretty much stopping EVERY thang

Nearly brand new Edelbrock 8.5mm plug wires. I had them on my 409 Chevy with an MSD distributor. They should fit SB Mopar just fine since they have the same spark plug configuration. They have about 1 hour run time on them. Switched them out for retro-style yellow wires. Comes with the boots...

Yeah that's an awesome build.

it's the folklore, that's all. fools thinking that because the 489 pinion is whatever .000 percent bigger means it sooo much stronger. they put 741's in trucks ffs.

Looks like he hasn’t been on FABO since what April? Lord hope everything is ok.

sheets and motor are still there, i'll post all the numbers when i go back to pick it up, it went pass my expectations

I have a nearly identical 512 going in my 69 Dart, nice to see it should make about the power i was hoping for. Thanks for sharing.

Oh, cool deal! https://www.compcams.com/oval-track-drag-race-263-270-solid-roller-cam-for-chrysler-273-360.html

With a 50 year old car sometimes oxidation occurs in the socket or the bulbs themselves.

Impressive.
