Are they still in business? I've tried calling them and the phone just rings and rings. I wanted to buy a torque converter from them since I had good luck with their 17805st converter but even summit shows the part is no longer available.

I am looking to have a basic performance 727 rebuild for my 440 A Body and not sure who rebuilds transmissions anymore. All I am interested in is something better than what it initially had with a 4 planetary gear and other basic associated upgrades from stock. I am in the SF Bay Area I am...

I will start this off with a warning that this is a whiney rant. But what happened to the cost of A-Bodies? I got my 69 Dart for $400 in 03. It didn't run but everything was there for it to run and drive except for the fact that cosmetically, it was garbage. As I drink my coffee and browse...

Hi everyone, I just got my 440 out of the machine shop and noticed that one of the lower engine mount ears is broken off. Is this block usable as is with maybe a torque strap on the top bolt holes or is a motor plate my only option? Thanks guys

I am building a 440 for my 69 Dart and wanted to know what people are running for AC, radiator and fans? I see Classic Air sells a "perfect fit" system for 1600. Does anyone have a 440 in their A Body with this system? If so, what radiator and fan set up are you using? How does it work? If...

I went to my local track for some fun and of course, want some advice on what to do to improve this combo. I was only able to get two runs in and the first one I did not have full throttle. My 2nd run was a 13.41 @ 100. I launched at 2000rpm, to a little bit of wheel spin. The car felt good...

I am just getting ready to start building a 383 for my 69 Dart. I have read tons of articles about a 383 in an A Body but wonder if my build will meet my expectations. I want to run mid-low 12s and this is what I have in mind. 383 .030 9.5:1 Stock OOTB Edelbrock Heads Edelbrock manifold Comp...

My dad just finished assembling his 383 and heres the dyno video and sheet. He is very happy with the results and I am glad that he was able to do something fun for himself after helping me and my brother with our cars. Enjoy! Stock stroke 383 .060 Stock rods on Forged pistons (no idea on...

I have a driveline vibration only in high gear at freeway speeds (55 on up). I haven't recently changed anything on the car. I pulled the driveshaft and took it to a shop. The shop said it was twisted and they had to cut it, re weld it, and balance. They also put in new spice yoke and u joints...

FABO, I need some advice although I think I already made up my mind. I've owned my 69 Dart for 16 years, it is my 1st car. Theres nothing wrong with it, it runs and drives good. It has a decent 360/727 with disc brakes and at least I think looks decent for a weekend car. The problem is that I...

Has anyone done this swap? I see there are adapter plates but cant find anyone who makes a bellhousing adapter. Is the adapter plate the only thing required for this swap to mate the two besides a converter, crossmember mods? I know, I know, a gm transmission and a lot of people have done the...

Does anyone have any information on this car? I will very slowly be doing a SuperStock recreation and came across this photo copy from an old Mopar Action Magazine. I thought maybe it would have detailed info on what was done to these cars. I dont have the magazine to refer to anymore, does...

Hi everyone, my dad is looking to add a serpentine set up to his 383. He has AC, and Power Steering. I have looked at the Mancini Racing set up, 440 source and March. Does anyone have experience with any of these or a different kit? I think the 440 source kit requires shims and I really don't...

I have installed a new steering box and have one full turn more on left turns than right turns? I counted the turns from lock to lock and thought I centered it up correctly. Is there something else I missed that I would have to adjust?

What radiator and fan set up are you all using? I have a 5.7 going in a 69 Dart with the factory V8 K Member. I have read that some have used OEM Charger Radiators and also some Champion Radiators. I dont want anything crazy, just one that will work for a stock motor. Part numbers would be very...

Hey Everyone, I am in the middle of building a 5.7 Hemi for my A-body and had a few questions regarding the eagle head swap. I have some Eagle Heads off a 2010 5.7 Hemi and everywhere I have read states that you need custom length pushrods when putting them on a 2008 or earlier block. I also am...

I'm pondering the thought of putting a 440 in my 69 Dart but don't want to give up my power steering. Has anyone put a 440 in an a body and used the borgeson box to keep power steering? If I went 440 I would use Schumacher headers and also try to keep my power brakes. Thanks.

I have an aftermarket dash that was made by rocky mountain dashes which I believe is now peak dashes. My question is, what has anyone used as a bezel for the heater controls? I would like to use something to have the controls labeled and don't know If I should look for an original cover or not.

Are they no longer being made? I called summit and a few of the other suppliers and they all universally had the same answer of "we don't know". I was told some people have been on waiting lists for years have been on constant back order. Where does somebody find a block to start from scratch?

I'm about ready to start up my Duster for the first time but am having trouble finding a radiator that fits with a mechanical fan w/fan clutch. I've tried the jaguar setup with a mechanical fan w/ a 3 core brass radiator (2.5inches wide) and it does not clear. An aluminum Griffin #800038 is too...
