    Rear spring mounting position?

    Hi guys it's been a long time since I've been on here, hope that you are all well? Listen I'm putting the yellow barracuda after a long time and I've lost the paper with all of the measurements showing the actual spring position from the gearbox cross member? I tacked it all back together to...

    Mag Force Front End

    Ah the power of the internet eh.. I think Chryco was simply asking a tech question to see if anyone had actually used on of these things and if they had how did the alignment process go? I think the PR issues for parts makers shhould be a subject for discussion elsewhere- just a thought?

    thermostat or not or what?

    I reckon the best value for money on the planet for rads is that monster 31" x19" summit or Jegs knock off of the Griffin for under $200 you couldn't even buy a decent stocker and it's about a third of the weight. I had one in the dart with that big 'ol 556" KB hemi and the thing used to take...

    thermostat or not or what?

    I'd leave the 'stat alone for now and just run it a few times, if it gets hot fit a bigger radiator and/or some serious electric fans. That purple ice water wetter stuff seems to work pretty good, try a bottle of that in the mix also.

    thermostat or not or what?

    Yep that was going to be my advice, if it gets out of hand try a 165F, what pressure cap are you using, try about 16 and see where you get to?

    thermostat or not or what?

    it was probably built by a Taiwanese robot though lol... Seriously it really doesn't matter how you get there, it's the getting there that counts and I can't believe the Mopar Purists are advertising CHEVYS- jeez.

    Hi guys listen I'm not here to upset anyone- but can I quote something Barton said to me a while ago when we got into chatting about engines and while I was still putting money his way, (he builds more chevys than he does mopars BTW, and everything else as well), I asked him in his opinion who...

    There are a lot of cars built by Top Secret and 50g's US is a deal for that amount of performance, slight problem is that you can't import it here, the DOT and the NHSTA said NO..

    I take that you didn't look at the video link then? You try getting that contraption to go around a corner on 17x 21 1/2" tires and a 4 link, and then try stopping it at more than 40MPH-yeah you can pull the chutes but would you want to on the street? Oh and that iron clutch is just a beauty...

    guys if that don't impress you then there is no hope but each to his own I suppose, I loved hearing my big old hemi screaming away, but it was usually accompanied by loads of water and oil dripping out as well , which got kind of tedious..
