    Flywheel for Slant Six and 833 4 Speed??

    Hello all. This is actually for my 1984 Dodge D100. Replacing the 10" clutch and pressure plate and thought about replacing the flywheel also. It looks to be ok, no cracks, hot spots, or grooves, just thought while I was in there, just replace it and keep the original as a spare - maybe...

    400 with TF 240 heads - valley plate options?

    Getting ready for my engine build and decided on a 470 with TF 240 heads. From what I've found, there doesn't seem to be many options for the valley plate on a B engine with these heads - at least one that doesn't cost $200..... Even the one Trick Flow makes only works with the 270 heads? I...

    Electric cooling fan sending unit options....

    Hello all - hope everyone is doing well. Looking for a sending unit to control the cooling fans on my big block Dart. I've read that it's best to go with a 2 wire unit if it's going to be mounted in aluminum ( aluminum heads, radiator & water pump housing). I've also seen external sensors...

    Wilwood rear disc help.......

    Just got around (could finally scrape enough $ together) to install my Wilwood rear disc kit. Bought the Moser housing & axle package (Trutrac, 33 spline) - upon installing the caliper, I notice that without any shims installed, the caliper can't center on the rotor (outboard pad is too tight)...

    Trans cooler recommendations........

    Hello all. Looking to get a trans cooler & wanted to know what you guys are using. I've read that the plate style cools better and was considering the B&M Super Cooler.

    Anybody use a Pro Bandit w/ a 727TF?

    Want to use a Stealth Pro Bandit in my Dart with a 727 & reverse manual valve body but don't know if it'll work. B&M makes the Street Bandit for the 727 and it appears to be the same shifter body - and it works with the reverse valve body....... It costs a good $450 so I thought I might run it...

    Anybody modify their own oil pan for an external pickup? Trying to save a few bucks since the Milodon pan is around $280.

    Kirkey style seat install???

    Hello everyone. I searched in the "Interior" section without much success so I thought I'd try here - since it is more of a "race" type item.

    Jegs roll cage anyone???

    Been researching to find out who makes the best fitting roll cage but it appears most people don't post any/many pics to help with the decision. I don't have a bender and don't consider it a worthwhile investment so a pre-bent kit is my best option. Anybody use a Jegs 10 pt. kit? From what I've...

    Installing my Moser Fab 8.75 & axles and noticed the supplied seals are "no name" and I want to replace with a name brand. They say " Taiwan" and 3200 - nothing cross references. Contacted Moser but not much help, they said they could supply replacements but they would be the same as what I...

    Subframe connectors......

    I've been researching subframe connector ideas/designs and have determined the 2"x3" laying "flat" and wrapping the rear frame stub is my best option. I got them cut & notched but noticed the bulge on the driver side trans crossmember where the parking brake cable exits is in the way of the...
