I actually installed the beehive because the original springs were garbage. We figured since we were changing them why not go with the beehive and alleviate any issues with retainer clearance. My machinist only concern now is possible pushrod interference. He actually thought the Speedmasters...

Thanks for the info on B3. I am going to get them all set up and see how the pushrod clearance is before I think about the geometry set. Not worried about retainer issues as my engine guy installed behave springs when he cleaned up the valve job.

So I ordered a set of the Speedmaster DNA Rockers for my 408 stroker on Black Friday. I was a bit hesitant because all of the photos showed them as containing roller bearings instead of bushings, so wasn't I happily surprised when they arrived and they are bronze bushed. They look really good...

Thanks for all of the replies everyone. Going to start putting everything together in the next month or so and the car will hopefully be done in the Spring. I am shooting for next Summer and it is a purely street car built so my wife can drive it.

The engine is going in my 69 Dart Swinger

First of all I want to thank all of you regulars on here for the worthy advice over the years. I never post but read all of the sections on a regular basis and have picked up some great tips. So now I do have a question and asking for some possible advice, if needed. what do you think of my...

Not sure if you have seen my message on Facebook, buy I am interested in buying the intake. Contact me on Facebook messenger if still available.

My 69 Swinger came with a painted top. I have been looking for one just for comparison. Mine was charger red with a black top. All one color now ,but that may change soon. Matt

Is there anyone in the aftermarket that carries vinyl top trim for a 69 Dart? I plan on putting the painted top back on my Dart and need the trim. Thanks, Matt

Yea, I guess the comment got to me and I did not count to 10. I did not think of the ignition key thing. The dash is in such good shape in the 71 and my 69 dash is a bit hacked up. The car only has 27,000 miles on it and was parked in 93. Someone told the elderly lady who owned it not to put it...

You know I thought this site was much better than the "other" Mopar site when it came to getting decent answers for logical questions, but I guess Burnt there are ones like you everywhere. Of course I have looked at the dash and can see there appears to be no difference, but before I went to all...

I am currently in the process of rebuilding my 69 Dart from the ground up and obtained a 71 Valiant 4 door today to be used for parts. I am wondering what the difference is between the dash frame in the valiant and my 69 Swinger. I know the bezels are different, but what else? Thanks, Matt

Do 71 Valiant fenders fit on a Duster? I am picking up a 71 Valiant 4 door on Saturday and the fenders are in very good condition. Matt

Since this seems to be stumping everyone, does anyone know of a source where I might find out a little more about the painted top Darts? Matt

Yep, paint top. On the Data plate it is shown as being two-tone paint with no vinyl top. Anyone know about the chrome trim?

I posted this over on Moparts, but as usual did not get any replies. I guess I should have tried here first. Live and learn. So here goes. I have a 69 Dart Swinger that came from the factory R4 Charger Red with a Black painted top. I know the painted top cars came with vinyl top trim, but my...

You might want to check across the river in Gloucester. The rent might be cheaper there and there would probably be more elbow room. I live about 40 minutes from Yorktown and the rent up here is pretty cheap. There is a guy on Moparts who is a weekend coast guardsman. He goes by the name of...

You'll love Va...Have lived here all of my life. Are you going to be stationed out of Yorktown by chance? You will definitely have to catch a Saturday night cruise at Newport News Harley Davidson. Lots of great cars, unfortunately not a great deal of Mopars. We seem to hide them here. As for the...

Tom, I will give you call tomorrow evening (Thursday). Just got home from job #1 and heading out the door to job #2. Matt

Tom, I have a set of 10 inch 8.75 brakes off of my 69 Dart that small bolt pattern. I am going to the large bolt pattern and no longer need these. Would you be willing to trade for the 11 inch brakes? I live just north of Williamsburg in New Kent. Thanks, Matt

I am a High School History Teacher....

This is the reasoning behind the Edelbrocks. I figure I will come out money ahead. I work part-time in an auto parts store, so I can get the heads a bit cheaper. I got a set of BB Edelbrocks for my brother for until 1000.00. Back to the cam. Some have said it is too small, while others like my...

MM, try this link. It is Keith Blacks website. http://kb-silvolite.com/forged.php?action=search&mfg=CHRYSLER&EngSize=390&RodLen=6.123 Think you may have to cut and paste. Pertaining to heads...I have a set of 340 X heads right now sitting on top of a ventilated 340. My original...

Keith Black does make a forged piston for this combo, however, they only give about 9.4 compression with the Edelbrock heads. Summit sells them, but they are not in their online catalog. I looked them up online. I won't be starting this build until this Fall, but am getting excited already. Matt

Thanks Rumblefish. This is the kind of info I have been looking for. The cost is not too much of a problem as I gave my lil bro my 11 sec big block for his 64 Savoy project and he is funding my stroker. I am trying not to take advantage of him

Hey, I am a long time lurker on here, love the valuable info, and have finally come around to needing a questions answered. I asked this over on Moparts, but since I am not in the "clique", getting an answer is next to impossible. So here goes: I am throwing around the idea of putting together...
