    Since Strokers are the topic......

    I'm killing some time at work (slow holidays) continuing to look at future engine stuff for the M880. My buddy has been running numbers with his dyno software. I assume the numbers are a bit optimistic, although he knows what he's doing. My current 318 (stock engine, with 4 bbl, intake and...

    318 Torque Build

    Just getting some input. I've got a '77 M880 (W200 Power Wagon) with a 318, 727/NP203 (full time 4wd) and 4.10s on 33" tires. The engine is original, under 100k miles, but a bit of idle time after belonging to a narcotics task force. For now I'm doing some maintenance and running the engine...

    Next Question - Balancer Time?

    Now that the timing cover needs to be replaced on our M880 318, I'm looking at the balancer....that seems like a lot of rubber. As far as I know this engine is original except for a water pump and thermostat (that I've found, anyway). I'm headed to Summit tomorrow to buy a pile of other things...

    LA Timing Cover Preference?

    I need to replace the timing cover on the 318 in our W200. It honestly looks like someone tried to clean the gasket surface with a grinder. A buddy had a couple good ones lying around. One is a rear-installed seal, one is front. Both have driver tide timing marker cast in. Do people have a...

    360 Dyno Update

    All the background history is here: Dyno'ed My 360..it's a pig..what next? Long story short, I replaced the 625 Carter AFB with the FiTech EFi 600hp unit. I also ripped out the crappy long tube headers and put in a set of TTI Shorty headers (this turned in to its own adventure). Those were the...

    Exhaust/Trans Linkage Interface Issues

    So, I'm installing TTI Shorty headers and extension pipes in my Dart....got tired of the long tubes dragging the ground. But I'm running into issues. I bought the TTI linkage adapter for my column shifter to clear, and it works. However, it seems my kickdown linkage is set too far off the trans...

    New TTI Shorties - Woo Hoo!!!

    Long story short: I got a set of brand X long tube headers when I bought my car as a rolling chassis. Short on money, I used them, and amazingly, they cleared everything, even the factory power steering (damn!). Over time, I removed the P/S, factory starter, and got the headers ceramic coated...

    A-518 kickdown issue??

    When going WOT at highway speeds, the car drops out of overdrive and accelerates nicely in Drive, but will not kick down to 2nd gear. It WILL kick down to 2nd if I'm driving at lower speeds (40-ish) and stand on it. Is the 518 set up to only drop one gear? (OD to D, or D to 2nd) Otherwise it...

    Block huggers vs. Long Tubes

    I put my car together using unknown brand long tube headers WAAAAY back when (ok, only about 12 years ago). I bought the car as a roller, and the headers came with it, along with most of the rest of the engine (some assembly required). There was a ceramic coater in the area so I had them done...

    New Vs Old....Darts

    A fellow car club member just bought a new Dart Limited as a daily driver. It's fully loaded and has the 1.4 Turbo with a 6 spd manual. He is a "spirited" driver and is still getting 34mpg city/hwy combined. At our Toy Drive Car show I just had to park next to him. Surprisingly, the cars are...

    Pinion Seal Question

    Ever since I rebuilt my 8.25 axle the pinion seal has leaked. At first I thought I just over filled it, but it just keeps seeping until it's low. Most likely I managed to damage the new seal during assembly, so I'm going to toss a new seal on it. My question: I stopped by O'Reilly and picked...

    New rubber...finally some M/Ts.

    I put it off way too long. Now that the Dart is fully streetable I decided I had better replace the 12 year old BFG T/As before they suffered a case of spontaneous catastrophic disassembly. So, after looking at all the options, I decided to go with the Mickey Thompson S/Rs. No white letter...

    What's this stuff worth?

    I am getting ready to thin the parts stock around the house. Ultimately it was stuff I got to build a motor that I decided I had no use for. Problem is, I have no idea what is a reasonable price.

    Tires...Decisions, Decisions......

    Sooooo, I'm not in immediate need of tires, but it's time I start looking. The BFG T/As on my car are almost 12 yrs old, and since my car initially sat for a few years the fronts have some flat spots I just can't get rid of. I have 15x7s on the front, 15x8 on the rear. Long story short, it's...

    More LPW Diff Cover stupidity...

    So, long ago it was decided that my 8.25 would get a nice diff girdle cover to help strengthen everything up. I purchased an LPW back when I thought I was going to to do the work, but things came up and I got delayed almost a year. Now, when I finally went to put it in, I discovered all kinds...
