Running brake lines in my 74 scamp which has manual front discs from a 78 volare swapped in. Can’t quite recall what the line size between the master and proportioning valve was supposed to be, the inverted flares in the proportioning valve look like they should be 1/4”? Any help would be much...

Hey guys i'm in need of a wiper motor blockoff plate, anyone know where i can get one? Thanks in advance

I know this is the a bodies but so far i havn't gotten any leads on b bodies so figured i'd give it a try here. So a week or so before i put away the 300 for the winter somone backed into me and crunched up the front end a bit. For the most part my bodyman was ablee to fix everything instead of...

so i'm just getting ready to pull apart my 360 to just do quick rebuild. My question is since i'm re-using my lifters and pushrods (assuming they're still in good shape) do they need to be numbered and matched up the same when i put it back together or does it matter? thanks guys

Well guys i've decided i'd like to teach myself how to port/polish heads, i have a few sets of scrap heads that are perfect to practice on before i try on anythings for a running motor. What i was wondering is does anyone know of a good "starters" kit or something that has some of main the tools...

Hey, does anyone know what the cc's of a stock set of 596 small block heads are? I'm looking at pistons but can't come up with approximate comp. ratio without knowing the cc's of the head. Thanks in advance

well guys it would seem my project is taking another turn. many of you have probably seen or read my thread about doing over my 360 for my 74 scamp. Well the "tight" budget that i was talking about before is now all but non existent. Since the 360 needs pistons at minimum i've decided that its...

So i bought my scamp because i have always been a little more fond of the plymouth front end in 74 over the dodge, but after some looking and thinking i like the dodge taillights far better then the plymouth ones, so my question is are tailights from a 74 dart direct bolt ins to my 74 scamp...

So some of the guys from that were watchin the races in the 70's and 80's will for sure know what i'm talkin about. I'm looking to buy a set of the blue headlights you used to often see in the old drag cars and can't find them anywhere?? does anyone know of a company that makes these if there...

Ok guys so the original plan was to buy a running 360 that was cheap so that i could just drop it in and get the scamp back on the road. well we got into the 360 i bought and although it is running it really isn't in great condition inside, so i deceded i'm gonna pull the motor apart and give it...

Ok, so i bought the offset shackle pieces from chrysler, not the relocation kit just the offset front hangar brackets and offset rear shackles. I was playing around with it today on the scamp to see how it looked and the front hangars won't fit in because of the nut welded on. The only way the...

Well guys i'll give you all a quick run down of the situation. I had bought this 360 that was supposed to be a straight drop in, needed nothing ready to run the guy said. Well i had to switch oil pans anyways so yesterday i took the old pan off and took a little peek inside just to see how...

Hey guys, well i've been trying to get my scamp back together for a while and had big plans to buy a really nice detroit trutrac and a nice set of gears, but then reality hit and it's really no longer in the budget to be going out an spending that money.

Ok guys so i had bought a 78 volare to get all the disc brake stuff off and someone said to make sure you get the master cylinder off because you'll need it on your car, so i pulled it off but as i look at it compared to the one thats on my car right now the mounting bolts are not in the same...

He guys, i know this isn't the for sale forum but i'm really not interested in shipping anything so i thought the Canadian section would be the best place for it. I have a 78' plymouth volare that I've pulled the disc brakes off of and am going to send it to the scrap yard but first i thought...

Alright guys and gals, just looking for some input/ opinions right now on what you think it'll take to get my car into 12 seconds on the 1/4 mile. Now i'll start off by saying this, i'm 17 and work a part time job and am still in highschool full time so the budget is very very limited. So...

Hey guys, i'm in the middle of my swap from the /6 to 360 and am working on getting that old 7 1/4 out of there. I've gotten the shocks off (it was much harder then it sounds lol) and started working on trying to get the e-brake cables off of both sides but i can't figure out how to get them...

Hey guys and gals i've been wanting to make a couple engine dolleys so that my poor old motors don't have to sit on the floor anymore and also so that they're a little more mobile. Like i'm not looking for a full engine stand just a little dolly. I don't want to buy one but i was wondering if...

Hey guys and gals, i've been looking pretty much since i bought my car (begining of summer) for a disc brake setup to convert my car from the drums. Well i've had no luck, i've been contacted a few times by people but the deals all seem to fall through for some reason. So here's another attemp...
