    727 Hard to Roll backwards

    Went to roll my big block powered dart today and it was VERY hard to move. I was able to push it forward no problem but the tires would squeal when backing up (smooth concrete floor old tires). Jacked the rear up and the tires would spin forward no problem but wont move AT ALL in reverse (just...

    Lowered Price, Post Deleted

    Not sure why me lowering my price on an item for sale was deleted. I reviewed the rules and I was wrong to bump without being a Gold Member, sorry. But I then lowered my price and that was deleted as well. I didn't see anywhere in the posting rules that gave a min I had to adjust my price by...

    Camber Shim Kits

    Its been a bit sine I was out adjusting my upper control arms on the Dart. Any reason why something like this wouldn't work with the tabs the current eccentric bolts use? Would have to be the right size to fit into them for sure but I have a set of these on the shelf right now for the ACR and...

    Sweeting Performance HydroBoosters

    Anyone have any luck ordering a hydroboost or related parts from Sweeting Performance? Wonder if this guy is just HORRIBLE with coms and legitimately can't get parts out the door that he lists as in stock or if I should be worried I'm out a large chunk of money.

    71 Hood Emblem Placement

    Dropped my dart off at the body shop about a month ago and have started to put together the list of things I need to order. Well the hood is missing the holes for the “DODGE” emblem. I didn’t take any good pictures of where the emblem should be since when I sent it off to him that there would be...

    Dual Scoop Holes

    I currently have factory style twin scoops on my car. The previous owner never cut the holes to actually allow air in. I have the gaskets for the holes but before I start cutting I had a question. What happens when it rains? Did the factory set up have some means of water diversion like in...

    Seat ID Help

    Going through a shed at my parent place and found a set of seats I'm hoping you guys can help me ID. Dad was pretty much all mopar his whole life so I'm willing to bet these are from some Mopar product. From what my mom remembers these might be out of a 71-74ish era road runner but I'm not sure...

    Evans Coolant Temps

    My fresh 505 stroker is running what I think is HOT. The Autometer gauge is reading 230 at idle with my Edelbrock ProFlo4 saying 220 at idle in my garage at idle. Large garage with the door open. Regardless of which temp I believe both seem really high to me. But before I dump the Evans...

    69 Charger Spindles

    So I have a set of 69 Charger DRUM brake spindles around. Could I use those on my 71 Dart if I change my ball joints and other supporting items? The articles I found on Hot Rod and even on here talk about the E-Body and late B-Body DISK brake spindles being used but no one seems to have talked...

    Big Brake Kits?

    Are there any big brake kits out there for stock front end A-bodies? I've come across several pages that list ones that haven't been in stock for years (Dr. Diff. and AREngineering to name a couple). Thinking about moving up from the ScareBird set up I put on a couple of years ago and was...

    727 slipping

    Have a feeling I need to overhaul the 727 I got out of basically a Mopar junkyard but want to see if I'm missing something first. Before putting the trans into the car I put a cheetah Manual Automatic valve body and a deep pan. I adjusted the bands per the cheetah instructions and filled...

    Hard HOT starting

    Just put a 440 in the dart and I'm running into a problem where the car doesn't want to start after its warm and has sat about 30-60 min. Stone cold will start after two pumps and two cranks, turn it off and right back on no problem its that in-between time thats the problem. To get it to...

    Siphon Gas?

    So I didn't know siphoning gas was still a thing but I lost about 8 gallons over night from my Dart. No leaks not drips and I went from around Full to just above a 1/4 tank. Thought it might have been my gauge but it took a little more than 8 gallons to fill up. I put maybe a mile or two on...

    RockAuto Problems

    Not sure when RockAuto's policy changed but they now charge the customer return shipping on defective parts. Just FYI for anyone thinking about ordering from them. I'm going with Amazon in the future, and I've been ordering from Rock for years. Oh they also delete any negative comments on...

    Oil Catch Can

    Looking for some help. Just put a stock bottom (i.e. tired) 440 in and I'm getting getting a good amount of smoke (which is leaving a black mark on my hood) out of my oil breather on the drivers side valve cover. The passenger side has a PCV valve installed going to the carb. I know the best fix...

    8 3/4 Brake Help

    I'm running into a problem with an A-Body rear I bought a little while back. The backing plates that came with it use a 2.5" shoe which from my research is for a BBP rear. The problem is the axels that came with it and my wheels are SBP. I really want to keep SBP. I rather just keep drums as...

    Most Stressful thing

    Am I the only one that gets super stressed about not messing up something when building a motor? I have on the stand to the best of my abilities a assembled 440 thats going to go into my Dart. The one thing I'm super stressed about it messing up my cam during brake in. Whether its me messing...

    Jumping Amp Gauge After MSD Install

    I recently installed a MSD 6AL-2 on my currently /6 powered 71 Swinger (planning on installing a 440 soon hence the MSD install). I noticed that my amp meter bounces now based on the RPMS (less bounces at idle and faster when I rev up). Since it started after the MDS install I'm assuming it’s a...

    Changing fuel system

    Getting ready to upgrade my fuel system to along with my engine. Couple of questions though. 1. What level should I get the gas tank down to before I take the sending unit out? Going to try and change without dropping the tank or maybe just lowering it. I was thinking at least half a...

    Fast N' Loud Dart

    Watching last night's FnL and they are finally showing the 67 Dart they bought and put a Hellcat engine in. I know they beat RoadKill's General Mayhem with this Dart. Now Roadkill said they cheated but I'm not sure how...something to do with the suspension?

    Do I need a Shift Kit

    I bought a TurboAction Manual/Automatic valve body for my BB 727. My question is will I see any improvements by installing a shift kit (like a trans go kit) or is upgrading the valve body enough? I thought I read somewhere that a shift kit is something you do with a factory valve body when you...

    TrickFlow Issues

    So my trick flow heads have shown up at long last and I'm running into problems with the rocker shaft hold downs and getting the rocker arms to line up correctly. So the rocker arms not lining up might be fixed by ordering a spacer shim kit from 440Source. I'm using CAT 1.6 roller rockers and...

    Oil Pan Dipstick?

    Trying to do a build with this 78 truck block and I'm running into a small issue. The dipstick on this motor goes into the side of the oil pan. Of course my new deep oil pan does not have this provision. Is there some way to make the block accept a "standard" 440 dipstick or am I left with...

    727 Kick Downlever

    Just picked up a BB 727 last night and its missing the kick downlever (the lever the kickdown linkage attaches to). Where can I buy one of these? When I do some googling everything comes up showing me where to buy new linkage or cables to replace the kickdown linkage.

    How to remove cylinder heads

    I'm tearing down my 440 and for the life of me I can't get them the heads to break their hold onto the block. I have all of the cylinder head bolts out but no matter how I pry on them or beat on them they will not break free. Is there some special trick that I'm missing here? I mean take bolts...

    How Much Coolant?

    Starting to order all the fluids I need for when I swap in the 440 in my Dart. Just wondering whats the typical capacity on a 440 with a 3 core aluminum radiator? My radiator is a 3 core Champion 22" wide model.

    727 Rebuild Kit

    Getting ready to rebuild a BB 727 I have laying around for a pretty mild 440 build. Wanted to know if there is a rebuild kit everyone likes or has found pretty good luck with. Or is there any reason not to just put the old trans in with a new valve body, deep pan and see how it does for a...
