Hi, We went to install a MP 5 blade clutch fan on our '66 Cuda last night, and low and behold it hits the AC dampened crank pulley on the car now. AC has been removed,so we dont really need the "third groove" but it's not impossible I may put the AC back on if/when the kids stop using it as a...

So I just bought a Carter 4594 electric fuel pump for the Cuda. Looking to mount it outside the subframe to get it away from the exhaust heat. There is room for it in the small space in front of the right front leaf spring mount. It would fit with the motor up/pump down OK, but it fits REALLY...

So we FINALLY got to the track this year and wow did the drag radials and slapper bars make a difference!! (Hats off to @318willrun!!) The car is solidly in the mid 13's now when everything goes right, but... We drive an hour one way on the interstate to the track, and by the tome we get there...

We are considering changing Dany's Cuda to Weld's to pick up some needed offset on the rear( they are the only 7' wheels I can find with 4.50 offset) Their website makes a big deal about all their wheels being "Stud centric" and not "hub centric" and that an adapter is needed to balance them by...

hi, so we are finishing up the 8.8 swap on Dany's Cuda (finally!!) and like I read on here a while ago the drivshaft (for an 8.25) looks to be the right length. So we went looking for an adapter joint to adapt the 7260 shaft to the bolt on 8.8 flange. Bolt on flanges can be had for 3310 and 1330...

So after Nick, Danys younger brother finally got a complete pass this year we entered him in the 2020SB Penalty box!2020 Small Block Penalty Box Race Sign Up In that thread mderoy suggested a calculator app 60' to 1/4 Mile Calculator - Wallace Racing So what we did was plug in Nicks timeslip one...

Well the track finally opened here and we got a chance to test the new trans/converter. But with the temp being so high that day, the 45 min trip on the interstate and the long line into the track and thru tech the car got pretty hot, 217 degrees !! her first launch it started popping out the...

Well apparently after 54 years the old Cuda gas cap gasket isn't sealing any more. I know this is kind of an early A thing but this is the first time this car has ever leaked out the cap after a fillup. What have you all done to correct this? Does someone make a repop gasket for our original...

My plan during our 8.8 axle upgrade on the "66 Cuda was to move the leaf springs in with Dr Diff's kit at the same time. But Dany pointed out it says " 67 to 76" Anyone used it on an early A? Here is a link:Mopar A-Body 1/2" Spring Relocation Kit Offset Hangers & Shackles

So my dissatisfaction with the Lokar TV cable lead me to design a mount for the carb that would hold the factory cable that came with the trans (93 A998 ). Only spent a few hours on it and it works perfectly and uses about a tenth of the effort to pull that the Lokar unit did. And yes, I'm so...

So, Dany's trans is in and functioning with NO LEAKS!!! But, the just off idle shifts are late, and you can "feel" it downshift and engine brake when coming to a stop at slow speed. We have the TV adjustment done like I have done them for decades. WOT and TV lever all the way back at the same...

We were watching a "car Show" on Motortrend TV yesterday about prepping a Camaro for the strip. Almost as an afterthought they installed a pre welded 4 point bolt in cage. Guess that's Chevy life, just buy a premade thing... Anyway, it made me wonder if anyone here has fabricated a 4 point...

So we got Dany's a998 installed and it works like a champ!!! (Thanks Robert at A&A!!) But we noticed road testing it it didn't "kick down" like it should. And the more we drove it the worse it got. I finally noticed the throttle wasn't opening all the way because the eBay Lokar knockoff throttle...

With both kids schools closed and me off work with a ruptured Achilles we now have LOTS of time to work on Dany's Magnum swap. We built an A998 over the winter and now we are swapping it in and divorcing the cooler from the radiator in the process. Nick's school closed first so he and I started...

Dany's A998 trans is done, converter is here and we are ready for the swap. Does anyone know if a 904 can be removed with the Dougs D450 headers in place? Or do we need to remove the passenger side, or both ? Hoping someone here has done it before as we are staring removal tomorrow morning...

So we finally have Danys trans together and the shift kit/valve body mods are next. It's an A998 from an 03 B van. Electronic lockup. We have ordered a 10" Turbo Action non lockup converter. 26 spline (lockup input shaft) with drive flats not slots. The people at Turbo Action could not have...

So Dany's Magnum swap has been successful enough that it is starting to eat the original 18 spline 100K mile trans. No suprise... So we want to build a "later" trans for it and save the '66 unit to use with the 273 in another project. However, finding a core locally has proved harder than I...

When I pulled my TV seal it was like A, but that seems upside down. So does it go over the shaft like A or B??

So we finally got the 'Cuda finished and set a weekend to take it to Edgewater. with an engine idea stolen from here..360 TrueStreet Magnum Build Engine stolen from her moms Durango (200K miles) Threw a set of bearings and the cam suggested by J.Rob And a set of EQ 318B's. We got to the track...

Well , the Magnum is finally in the 'Cuda and we are off to the track on the 10th!! I know we have been silent for a while, but it was too hard to do it and post about it at the same time!! Anyway, here are some things we "discovered" that may help your swap go easier. If you plan on doing a...

So Danys Magnum swap into our '66 Cuda is almost done. Only thing missing is a heater hose nipple that the local parts place will have in the morning. So we decide to start it up with no coolant for a second and see what it sounds like. Horrible grinding, no engine turning!!! I mean like a Chevy...

So I noticed 2 sets of timing Mark's on my eBay used magnum balancer. So, as I am assembling the short block I put a late LA timing cover on to verify the drivers side marks were in the same place as the Magnum cover. They were. That's when I noticed a second mark at about 10 o'clock. So after...

Hi. I need an unsilenced are cleaner lid like this one on my '66 273. With or without breather tube. I think it was used on some /6's too.

So as Dany and I sit in here with her Magnum engine parts watching it snow (Damnit it's like 25 degrees in the shop!!) we started "bench racing" about a LA 318 that is sitting at the shop. The Hughes website does a good sales pitch on there "Steamroller" line but all a Google search will give...

Anybody else get a zippy set of Kiwi heads for Xmas?? Show me another girl that would be happy about that !!

So, we all know about the tight nature of early A's when it comes to headers. Has anyone tried a Late A K frame in an early A? I can see where the center link would be wider, because the steering box and idler arm are farther apart. wouldn't this move the steering box "out" into the later A...

Hi, if you have been following Dany's intro to bracket racing on the forum you may remember we swapped the 7.25 for a 8.25 early this summer. It was a 2.45 ratio open and we switched it to a 3.55 sure grip. The first set of used gears would not pattern correctly and were noisy. The second, new...

If you have been following her on the Racers forum we were getting a magnum together to swap into the '66 Cuda she has been bracket racing this summer. Pulled the heads (yup..cracked gonna run them anyway) looked the rest over and was just about to order a cam when BANG!! Her daily driver...

Doing a magnum swap and need valvespring advice. What valvesprings do you think for a stock cammed Magnum that may see 5500 RPM in bracket use? And later with this cam?Voodoo Hydraulic Roller Cam - Chrysler 273-360 (W/ Long Snout) 264/270 - Lunati Power

So. all the tire failures this month have put a big dent in the race car budget, but we still want to try to move forward. Our original plan was for a cam swap, but i think that's out until next season. That leaves us with a "short snout" original Magnum cam. And no way to put an eccentric for a...
