Looking for info on removing the heat riser from my right-side 340 HP manifold. The more I play with it the more I feel like I'm going to break something and the flapper is going to be a permanent resident in the down tube... There is plenty of advice on buying a replacement heat riser...

Hey all. Looking for a 73-76 A-Body 7.25 Rear Axle with 4.5" Big Bolt Pattern and (preferably) 10 inch brakes. I'm located in Western Washington 98367, and am not opposed to making a bit of a drive for the item. Please let me know what you have, where you are, and how much. Thanks...

I've decided I'm not crazy about lock-up Torqueflite's. I'm curious about the conversion to non-lock up and if I have the correct ingredients on hand to do this: what happened is the lock-up small block 727in my 77 Street Van is giving up the ghost at 145k. I have a stock big block 727 trans...

V4X U A64 M21 N23 EN2 TX9 D2X9 TX9 721 392929 E44 D34 VL29 G2B 520131 Sorry about the lousy, sideways picture that is attached (photo bucket isn‘t letting me upload; site is way different now), but can someone verify if my fender tag is telling me what I suspect: is this a...

I doubt any more than 1% of DIY Home Hobbyist’s out there would care to tackle adding this to their skill set and resource network, but, it’s rad so enjoy! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=464599&highlight=sand+casting...

I realize there is a port size difference, but will putting an iron 73' 360 dual-plane intake on my 318 hinder my mileage? I'm not expecting a performance gain, but will it make performance worse? The deal is, my 318 (although tired) is a good runner. The previous owner put a Holley...

Been on the lookout for a shorty for almost six months; trouble was, with all my financial focus going to the duster, I didn't want to pay $1500-$2000 for a SWB Dodge. Well, patience paid off because this sweetheart was 15 miles from me, had the 318/Auto I wanted, and was scored for $500...

http://www.camquest.com/ As you most already know, Camquest allows you to input certain engine variables to provide a camshaft suggestion and the rough dyno numbers thereof. Camquest is far from perfect, but still somewhat helpful. A big down-side to me is it's lack of engine options...

My buddy knew I wanted stock valve covers and hooked these up for free, which is appreciated, but they don't look anything like the stock-style valve covers I have seen seen on clean 318 and 340 cars at shows and whatnot, which is the look I envision for my car. I think I can make these work...

I love these rims. 17's were without a doubt the way to go. These may be Foose rip-off's, but the quality is fantastic. These are 4.5" backspacing and ran $150/each. Shipping was $13! Made the deal even sweeter. Can't wait to get them on the car with the new performance suspension parts...

Since I’m still laid up at home, I have been doing a lot of reading and research, and only buying what parts will factually work. One little area that I’m getting some unclear info is Cylinder Heads. I’m going to spare you guys that part of it, but basically my machine shop...

I was just about to pull the trigger on MP XHD Leafs then use a 1-2" lowering block when I ran across this site a site that gives the notion that matching torsion bar rates should somewhat match leaf spring rates for the best ride quality. I want the best ride quality! I have PST 1.03"...

I'm probably gonna stick with factory black for my car, but I can totally see my car in this green with black side stripes and a blacked out six-pack hood. There's something very 70's about it to me... "Kiwi Green Metallic"

What if someone was more concerned about comfort and reliability in a muscle car and less about a magic number to achieve on a dyno? What if when you slipped behind the wheel of a car you weren&#8217;t just in love, but you felt like the vehicle was tailored to you like a fine suit? What if the...

It would be great to get a 28” tall 275/60R15 tire in a stock Duster wheel well with XHD leaf springs. I’ve gone over as many pictures as humanly possible with 275/60R15 tires but I’m having trouble distinguishing between Super Stock Springs and XHD’s because of picture angles and whatnot...

It's not likely that a high volume oil pump would suck a stock oil pan dangerously dry, but if I added a windage tray (and valley pan per-say) wouldn't that not only help with a little added power but also help get oil back to the sump rapid-like correct? The 8 qt. moroso street/strip pans...

My goal is mild street performance, whether I stroke or not. If I ran the 360, Comp recommended the xe274h (230/236@.50) Cam & Lifter Set. In doing so, the guy also recommend a 2500 stall, at minimum 2200. http://www.compcams.com/Company/CC/cam-specs/Details.aspx?csid=628&sb=2 After...

The title says it all. I'm not necessarilly trying to be cheap per say, I'm just curious if it's completely necessary to get stroker rods or whatever for a mild build. If it's physically impossible to use stock rods, then so be it. My 'HOW TO BUILD BIG INCH MOPAR SMALL BLOCKS' book isn't here...

Is this your car? Someone you know's car? Do you know the following?: - Rim sizes and Backspacing - Tire sizes I am confident in my suspicions, but I'm hoping someone knows for sure (that would save me a lot of time). Thanks!

Okay, us NW'ers know how crappy the weather has been. I was stuck at home for a good portion of it and did a lot of eating and drinking, thus creating more and more garbage to dispose of than usual. Well, Friday the 26th was the second friday in a row that the garbage truck didn't come by. I...

I assume some of you have seen Kenny Vs Spenny before, right? I hadn't watched it on comedy central whatsoever, even though I had multiple opportunities, so I basically didn't give a ****, until my buddy sat me down in front of youtube and watch about 10 episodes of it. Its down right...

Hey guys, I didn't have much to do the other night, so I made this dog bed out of an old slick that I got from Pacific Raceway over the summer. This is my dog I got a couple of weeks ago. He is a Mastiff/Pit/Great Dane mix. He's 13 weeks, 35 lbs, and gets bigger by the day. His name's Charlie.

I found a 3 speed manual from a 67 Dart /6 car for sale right near me for super cheap. I am going to look at very soon (like, an hour). So I need some questions answered as fast as possible: What would be the model number? (4 speed is A833, 3 speed is ???) How much can they handle...

A DAMN FINE EXPLANATION The wife came home early and found her husband in their bedroom making love to a very attractive young woman and she was somewhat upset. 'You are a disrespectful pig!' she cried. 'How dare you do this to me -- a faithful wife, the mother of your children! I'm...

http://www.wheeltechintl.com/sltspecs.php I have been looking at the SLT Muscle Mags, as they appear to be very similar to the beloved Slotted Mag. I have finally found a set of the old school ones and will run them for a little while, but the biggest size rim was a 14" and after looking my...

Are factory 318 Exhaust Manifold Primaries 1 5/8"? Or smaller? Also, who has had their Exhaust Manifolds Extrude Honed? I was checking prices at a couple places and it looks like $600+ is where I would stand I want to make my own headers, but I am finding it to be a PITA (anyone who's tried...

Hey all, I am hoping to see some pics of your cars with SS Springs. Particularly Duster/Demon/Dart Sport Style. I am trying to both see rear ride height and get an idea of the Tire Size I can use with SS Springs with them in the stock location/offset shackle. If my measurements are right...
