Hello all, I am at wits end with an issue I have been experiencing for awhile, and I hope that I can tap into the wisdom from the experts here at FABO. Preferably, I do not want to redesign the car and throw a ton of new parts at it without being sure that we have found the culprit. There are a...

Now I did in fact search through here to see what everyone is paying to install one of these babies in their A body, but failed to find a 100% clear answer. I have the ability to pick up a 5.7 hemi motor and tranny from a 05 ram for super cheap and I want to know if it's worth digging in to...

Hello guys. Nice to see you guys still as active as ever. First off I would like to "warn" you guys that I am kind of new to valve train adjustment. From being an engineering student, I do know the terminology and can understand complicated instructions. I bought the set of cut to fit...

Is it normal for a 3-bolt cam to not have that nipple coming out of the middle of it? Just a flat surface? Just making sure before I throw it in.

Ok lets try this again. I took some time and carefully measured some stuff to get more clear answers before I start throwing parts at this motor. 1978 440 20/20 crank - stock stroke/rods bored .030" over Flat top L2266 pistons WITHOUT VALVE RELIEFS The pistons sit .084" in the hole -...

Looking for a set of ductile adjustable rockers. Not interested in rollers unless you have a set of pushrods for mechanical non roller lifters to go with them. Not sure if they are any different. I live in Norman, Oklahoma. Please pm me with prices and or pictures.

Got 2 sets if valve springs off of 440's. Both are lightly used, one set has never seen the street. One set was for a .528 lift cam. Other is for .590 lift cam. Not sure on part numbers. Just what they were set up for. Not sure on pricing. Dont know what they are worth. Will take...

This is the type with one cam bolt right? Can you buy just the gear or pully with the 3 bolts?

Rebuild with an ~hour run time on them. Set up for .528 cam. Stock size valves with a recent valve job on them. Very little porting done. Bolt on and go. Not sure on price so I will throw a price tag of $400 on them to start for FABO. Will trade for adjustable rockers or a hydraulic cam...

Ok, I reached out to people on a facebook post and got blown away by the information. I a 24 with experience with mechanics and the assembly but not much on the technical side of compression/combustion facts. So I turn to you guys to school me up. I am a mechanical engineering student in my...

Ok so I am fighting with my 440 right now. Not sure what to call it, but I can't remember seeing this rear piece with a notch cut out like that.... I was told that I have a cast crank and that I will either need a counter balanced converter, or the flex plate that B&M makes. I went for the flex...

Running a cast crank in my 440 with an unbalanced stall converter. If I am not mistaken, I need a specific flexplate for this. B&M# 10237 Anyone have a used one laying around? Or new I guess? I would like to spend around $40-$50 for one plus shipping I know they are $100 online but I...

Did a little searching throughout the threads and haven't seemed to be able to find a good answer. Doing a spring relocation kit on my 70 dart at the moment, and am trying to figure out what my options on tire sizes are. Does anyone have a clear answer on how big of a tire you will be able...

Looking for a good used or new 3000 stall converter for my 440/727. Just something to get me by for awhile until I build my spare transmission. Shipped to 73071

Sorry if this isn't in the right spot. I just got my 440 put together and am tossing around what combination I want to run. I have a 440/727 284/.528 MP purple shaft with a stock 11" torque converter at the moment. I currently have 3.23 open gears in my 8 3/4 and am about to redo everything...

Specs are as follows. 440 30 over .538 MP cam 727 Not a stock converter, not sure on the stall though. eddy 1407 carb Started reading another thread and saw that he was having what seemed to be the exact same issue I am having. In park, this car idles like a dream. However in drive or reverse...

Has anyone else had trouble getting the intake to seal on a 440? It is REALLY starting to piss me off that I have to constantly take this intake off to re-gasket it. It's a 78 model block with 516 heads that are fresh from a machine shop and a weiand dual plane aluminum intake. I had the...

Both upper and lower control arms from a disc brake car. Need to be cleaned up but are fully capable of being used. I planned on powder coating them and installing them on my car. Just taking up trunk space now... What are they worth? I guess I will throw out a price of $100 plus the ride? In...

Title explains it basically. Rear end has no pumpkin in it and it is and has been sealed throughout it's life of "I might use it someday" storage. The rear end was CORRECTLY narrowed exactly one inch from stock A-body width. The spring perches are in the correct location to bolt into an A-body...

In the process of redoing my wiring harness. No idea what this is.

Ok guys, I give up. I am having all kinds of steering issues with my 70 dart. There is SO much slop in the steering its almost scary. I heard a rumor that, CAREFULLY adjusting the worm gear would help with the slop. The entire front end has been redone with polyurethane bushing and new steering...

Anyone ever retrofit a different cars' fuse box or power distribution box into their A-body? I have been thinking about doing away with my old system and putting in a fuse box in from a different simple system. I hate the stock power box in my 70 dart.... There are too many things wired in a...

I have an 8 3/4 that has been narrowed to 51 1/4". The perches are set for stock A-Body. Located in Norman, Oklahoma. Comes with C-Body axles (the thicker ones) to be cut down for this width and a set of drum brakes to be rebuilt. No center section. Its been properly stored and sealed to...

I just acquired an 8 3/4 for my dart that has 3.23 gears OPEN. I am torn between a spool or attempting a suregrip setup. Anyone have any info on installing either one of these? I would like to do this myself. Thanks

Looking to install a B&M shifter into my car this weekend. Now to do so, I will need a few things to reference off of. Where exactly did you guys mount the shifter at on the transmission tunnel? Also, how did you route the shift cable from the shifter to the shift linkage on the transmission...

I can not get my intake to stop leaking. 3 intake gaskets later and I still have a small leak on one entire side. (drivers side) In order to get the intake bolted in, I have to bolt in one side and use a pry bar to push down the other side to get the bolt holes lined up. Based on what I have...

Looking for new/used carpet for my 70 dart automatic car. I am pinching my pennies trying to get this car in good shape on a budget. Looking for black Thanks, Dakota

Not getting fire and I can not figure out why. Before I decided to add the electronic ignition, I could not get my points system to work either. I figure on the points system that my distributor was not any good, resulting in me buying the electronic ignition kit from summit. I was not sure...

I have a complete 8.8 rear end that is a 31 spline 3.73 limited slip that has been narrowed to run 2 passenger side axles and to fit in an A body. Disc brakes, have calipers and rotors. Much cheaper than buying an 8 3/4. The differential is out of it at the moment as I replaced all the...

Exploring some stripes for my 70 swinger. If you have something unique then post up!!
