    DOES YOUR NEIGHBOR ALWAYS WANT TO BORROW SOMETHING?

    I'm on 20 acres. We wave at eachother as we drive by our neighbors. That's pretty much it.

    1963 Dodge Dart 440 727 install.

    Just go ahead and cut out the inner fenders, put some front bars in the car, and tie them to the fire wall, or the roll bar / cage you are eventually going to want in the car. Might as well stiffen up the car, and make room now.

    Small Block and Big Block Damper Question

    Hey guys, will a big block damper work on a small block? Both engines are forged crank. I have a big block fluid damper laying around, and was wondering if I could use it on a 340?

    Indy Aerohead

    I have a 340 in my 70 Swinger that has Aerohead "J" heads. I built this engine back in 1998 or 1999. It is still going strong, and putting up with 6,000+ shifts occasionally!

    Indy Cylinder Head Swap Meet March 1-2

    A couple blocks from the fairgrounds is a Nation of Islam "church". You know, the Louis Farrakhan kind of place "church"......

    Indy Cylinder Head Swap Meet March 1-2

    I know what I was looking for was a long-shot. I am looking for a different set of rockers to run in place of the Harland Sharps i have been running the last 2 seasons. I want a set of stainless, bushed rockers, because i do drag and drives, so there are street miles AND 1/4 mile trips. I'm just...

    Indy Cylinder Head Swap Meet March 1-2

    I was at the swap meet today shopping with a friend. The crowd seemed pretty light for a Saturday. we got there around 10, and left by 1. I didn't find what I was looking for, but my buddy got a nice deal on a B body front fender. Really surprised by the relatively small crowd......

    Poll: Do traction bars help out Mopar leaf springs or not

    "Traction bars" is kind of a generic term. I have Smith Racecraft Assassin bars on my Barracuda, and they work really well. Do you consider those, or the Cal-trac style bars "traction bars"? OR are you just referring to the old, slapper-style bars?

    Got a new Truck (new to me)

    Nice truck, man! I have owned a handful of the 80's Rams (and Ram Chargers) and I think they are the best trucks for actual truck use. Not comfy trucks, but tough and easy to work on.

    What Are You Doing To/With Your Car Today?

    Finishing up the Milodon Gear drive install and Cam degree process. Spring is around the corner, need to get this sucker buttoned up and back into my Cuda!

    Supporting the engine?

    I have used a ratchet strap to support the rear of the engine when pulling the trans. Also, the same method works on the trans when pulling the engine. You can hook the strap hooks in the hood hinge area on each side. On my car, i hook to front cage bars.

    ATM/Holley verses Carter 625 AFB

    I'm not interested in participating in the carb science pissing match- but I will chime in that I have 2 seasons (probably 60-70) 1/4 mile passes running a pair of 800 AVS2s on my 440. I tune with an AFR gauge, vacuum gauge mounted on the dash connected to manifold vac, and reading spark plugs...

    It’s Super Bowl Sunday

    Did Tom Brady hit a home run yet?

    Man talking about a cracked head.

    **** - I would have thought the head gasket / o-rings would have given up before that would happen. I guess there was porosity or stress risers in the casting.

    Tunnel ram or no tunnel ram...

    The combo of AFR gauges, spark plug reading, and time slips will get you tuned in with dual quads, OR a single. Just have to be willing to make systematic, incremental changes, test, and test again. For me, that's the fun part.

    busted my *** ......

    Don't feel too bad about yourself! I'm 45, and fell on my *** the other day getting out of my truck. I guess my left boot had some snow on it or was wet, and when it hit the smooth concrete in my garage, i did the splits with my right leg still on the floorboard of the truck, and my left leg on...

    How often do you drain your air compressor?

    Get to know how hot and humid the ambient air in your shop is. The hotter and more humid your ambient air is, the more you need to drain your tank.

    Anybody use the 440Source A/C body oil pan?

    Yeah, I'm running fenderwell headers, so header clearance wasn't really a concern for me. I have a 70 340 Dart Swinger - and I am also running the later steering and brakes on that car. The small block TTI's rub ever slightly on I think the passenger side where the idle or inner tie rod is. I...

    Anybody use the 440Source A/C body oil pan?

    I have the 73- newer. I basically had robbed the entire K frame, brakes and steering from a '74 Valiant.

    Anybody use the 440Source A/C body oil pan?

    Here is a picture from last year that might give you an idea of how low it hangs. If it was below the K member, it wasnt by much. ZERO issues with steering. I even ran a cheapo diaper on it at the track with no issues.

    Anybody use the 440Source A/C body oil pan?

    No issues on my car- i was running later style k frame and big bolt pattern brakes from a '74 Valiant. Also, manual steering. (I'm talking in past tense now because I switched over to a QA1 k member and now have a deep Milodon pan because I'm racing this car more now than anticipated when I...

    Anybody use the 440Source A/C body oil pan?

    I used it during the last 2 seasons on my Barracuda. Nice pan - no complaints.

    Seat Belt Cert Questions

    Do you guys with street cars replace the passenger side as well??? Technically, the driver's side is the only one required to be in spec - right?
