I am looking at all the bearings on my x-block 355 (this was in my brother's 9.80 Super Gas car). He built this engine in about 1982 so I imagine some of the parts are going to be a little obsolete or at least hard to find. The main bearing set have P-series markings except for the #5, which...

I have the race engine from my brother's Duster Super Stock car, circa 1979-1986. I finally have a chance to tear it down and see what's inside. My friend is going to bring up his deck height measuring set-up when he visits in another week so by then I should have most of the parts out...

I have a shop doing the vinyl top replacement on my 66 Valiant Signet Hardtop. There doesn't appear to be a source for a replacement rear glass seal. Does anybody make the seal rubber? Does anybody have a suggestion for making one?

Sorry, this is not strictly A-Body related but this is where I post so some of you already know me a little. When my brother died last year he left seven non-running cars on his tiny property. I have managed to resurrect four of them so far and now I am digging into the fifth, a 1962 Chrysler...

I have this NOS SR1 Viper engine (8.0l) for sale. Asking $8000. I have it listed on the local craigslist for the Los Angeles/Inland Empire area. The engine is located at Corona, CA. Viper Series 1 Replacement Engine - auto parts - by owner - vehicle... 20200702_104643 by Jim Harris, on...

As we plan to move from Southern California to the Olympic Peninsula of Washington state this fall I am faced with moving my meager car collection. I have a friend in WA who has allowed me to park my cars there. I already drove my 69 TR6 up Hwy 101 a couple of weeks ago. I plan to drive the...

This is from my brother's estate. A 2536563 4-bbl cast iron manifold with approx. 1/2" adapter plate. Carb is Holley 4160 List 3667, manual choke and vacuum secondary. Air cleaner has after market base, and ding in cover, as shown. I think my brother put it together as a homage to the...

Hello - I usually post over on the Early A-Body forum but I came across this crankshaft so I felt I should ask here. I have been cleaning out my brother's home after his death last year. He was a real Mopar guy and had couple of small block race cars, a 66 Valiant and a Duster Pro Stock...

I have 1 unused bare Edelbrock NHRA Performer RPM, 6076 SB head, asking $400. Slight scratch on mating surface between center two cylinders, may take minimal re-surfacing to clean up. Otherwise, no work has been done on this head. Bare head, guides and seats installed. I am happy to provide...

These heads have been sitting for years and I can't find much info on them but what I have found (here) is not encouraging. They are aluminum, don't have rocker shaft towers but steel girdles to carry the rocker gear. They are Zeus castings and have a part number P4582900. Are these the W5...

This past weekend was supposed to be the first showing for my 66 Valiant since getting it back on the road. I was going to take it to a Cars & Coffee cruise-in at J&M Speed Center in Riverside, CA till Covid-19 got in the way. Ironically, the cruise-in was located only a few miles from Corona...

I will definitely be upgrading my front 10" drum brakes to disk in the future. It seems to me like the options for disk brake conversion seem to fall either into changing out the spindles to later model disk brake spindles or keeping the drum brake spindles with a conversion bracket to the...

Well, I got my 66 Valiant back on the street yesterday after some trials getting it going after 24 years. This thing is a beast. It's got a highway gear ratio but still launches with authority. It seems to shift well but I can't really go through the gears hard because the old tires sat too...

This car was run around Southern California in the early 80's. I would like any information on this car - does it still exist? Who built it? Thanks - Jim Jim Meyer Duster 3 by Jim Harris, on Flickr

So I'm tearing into the engine on my Valiant because the flywheel ring gear was split and just spinning loose. That's probably why my brother parked it in 1996. It turned out that the engine uses a 53020006 360 LA block. It's also a 4sp M/T. I pulled the engine yesterday and have the...

Howdy! I've been posting on the early A body forum about the 66 Valiant I inherited from my brother. I am having to learn Mopar so please bear with me. The engine block has a 53020006 casting no. and the pushrods are hollow and oil the top end. It is using an LA-style intake so I have to...

Yesterday we finally exhumed my brother's 66 Valiant from his backyard after almost 24 years under covers. My brother had passed away earlier this year and my niece, her husband, and a few of my brother's friends have spent our free weekends sifting through his stuff and car parts. Since I...

Hi All I will be starting to restore my late brother's 66 Valiant Signet bracket car soon. He passed away recently and I want to bring the car back to its former glory. I am fairly unschooled with Mopar, not for lack of trying by my brother, but I am definitely a car guy and do my own work. I...
