The story that I heard is that yeah....the bell housings were bored to the finished size when new. Rick Ehrenberg wrote about this in Mopar Action magazine. We've often swapped 4 speeds into cars with automatics and never checked runout and been just fine. Why? Well, the guys at SST told me...

I agree. I don’t need to see ads for buttsexuals.

How about THIS one: The ads for Wegovy. It is a weight loss drug. The ads show two guys working on a blue Plymouth, maybe a Road Runner. The car clearly has no engine in it yet they have a tool box there to tighten a hose clamp to a radiator hose that runs along the drivers fender apron...

That reminds me of Joe Arpaio from Arizona.

That is probably because of the demographic of where you live. The public won't tolerate it and law enforcement and justice system reflect that. Certain parts of the country are ran by people that in a roundabout way, make excuses for bad behavior and even IF there are laws in place, they don't...

Overhaulin was like the funny friend of yours that hung around waaaaaay too long and wore out his welcome. It started off well except for a few things, mainly that stuff was being done to the Chip Foose standard, not the owners of the cars. I’d be pissed if my car came back all pimped out with...

I never warmed up to the 4 door pickup trucks. Now it seems that fuel economy standards work against it...long wheelbase trucks get a break on mileage requirements so the automakers are not encouraged to build trucks like this anymore.... But as far as trucks, I have zero interest in anything...

YouTube gives a voice to everyone….except the ones that YouTube disagrees with.

You just made a losing argument against ****.

The OP that started this thread is in Switzerland. What you wrote above aligns with his viewpoint. I don't see 4 door cars as performance models and for all of my life, that was all that I aimed for. Americans of my age grew up with the 2 doors being the performance models and the 4 doors being...

Excellent idea. It is interesting how we already knew something but forgot it until someone else suggests it.

Forgive the revival of a 2 1/2 year old topic but people often suggest to do a search before starting a NEW thread..... I'm expecting to take delivery of a '69 Dart with no keys. I'll need to replace the ignition lock and door locks. If the ignition switch is one year only and unique, is the...

Holeee crap, I never noticed that until you pointed it out and at first, I called bullshit. Then I looked.... The arch forward of the tire comes almost to a plumb line in the 70-71. Below is a 1976 Dart. You can see how the curve of the opening at the front ends at the bottom with some...

The 1970 Dart fender interchanges with both a 71 Dart and a 71 Demon. The 1972 fenders use essentially the same stamping but the side marker lights were changed. Physically they will fit. EDIT! I just learned that I had it wrong. See posts #s 5 and 8.

Even lighter than aluminum bumper supports? The 1973 bumper assembly with no supports, just mounting brackets.

Maybe someone mentioned it and I missed it BUT regarding the manual toggle switch for lockup and overdrive, do these stay engaged as you slow down below a certain speed? I'd think that as you get below say...45 mph, the OD would disengage.

My 67 Dart has the three plug bulkhead design with all spade type connectors. The 67 and later stuff is similar to the 68 -70 B body stuff I have here. I’m going through stuff in the shop. 12+ years ago I took in a bunch of stuff from a guy that was building a 65 Valiant convertible. I am more...

This design with the power input and output mounted to a more positive terminal…. It sure seemed like a better design than the one that followed.

The red fender on mine is dented near the headlight. It actually looks okay in this picture. Mine has the fender mounted turn signal too.

If I recall, the Mopar Performance 360 crate engines came in 300 HP and 380. The 300 was supposedly a stock truck engine that was normally rated at 230 as installed in new trucks with catalytic converters and manifolds.

The 5.2 and 5.9s are still commonly found in junkyards out here. Durangos, trucks and vans are still coming in with them. The roller cam would alleviate the likelihood of those cam and lifter failures. I'd have to get one of those Crosswinds 4 barrel intakes. I'd need to do something about the...

If we did, it would be fitted with a carburetor. I wouldn't go through the trouble of trying to make the EFI system work.

I would mill them at least enough to compensate for the thicker Fel Pro head gaskets. The goal would be for the engine to run fine on 87 octane ethanol infused gasoline. An iron headed 318 should be able to handle 8 3/4 to 9 to 1 compression on 87.

Thanks, guys. The kid is 13 now. The goal is to have the car drivable by the time he is ready to get his learner's permit at 15 1/2 years of age. Plenty of time and I'm retired so the only thing holding me back is me. Jaxon wants to be involved in the build. I never had kids so this is...

I have been asked to build a car for my nephew. We are using a Duster, either a 71 or a 74, it has yet to be determined. I have one of each and both will require about the same amount of work to the body. Normally, I default to a 360 for the A bodies that I have built to sell because in stock...
