    340 Stroker mainly for street, what gear would you run?

    Its really not, every commercial 1/2 ton pickup now makes approx 450. As someone that has owned over 2 dozen 5.0 mustangs since 1993, a super majority of its snappy performance was due to the EFI set-up, the 5.0 came into its own after its introduction. I have witnessed many 300-350 hp 5.0’s...

    Firewall rivet nuts

    I guess you could coat the rivet nut with dielectric grease. I didn't realize they had rivet nus 50 years ago, they should have also used one for the resistor as well . This one missing nut just caused me to spend $75 :(

    Firewall rivet nuts

    Yeah, I have a 71 340 car. I am shocked someone went thru the trouble of installing a rivet nuts so I was assuming that was original. Being 1 hole with a sheet metal screw and 1 hole with a rivet nut I figured something was buggered having two different pieces of hardware.

    Firewall rivet nuts

    While doing some tidying up on my firewall and removing my voltage regulator I noticed only 1 of the 2 mounting holes on the firewall had a threaded rivet install. Question 1. should I have two threaded rivet nuts for both? 2. It appears to be 10-24, this correct.

    15x6 Rallye Trim Rings ??

    I can cut down the 3" to fit (if needed) my 6" wide wheel if, but appears no one makes a 4" wide ring to fit a 15x8" You are totally correct, my last resort was to put it on jack stands and use scotch-brite to convert the finish to brushed. Yes, 6.5" version exist. Ebay

    15x6 Rallye Trim Rings ??

    Yeah, I saw those. To further complicate things I need the brushed finish for 71 and later. While they are 3" wide that should fit my 6" wide wheel, but the rear trim ring would need to by 4" wide. I am not in love with the 3" wide ring on 8" wide rim when it stops short of making it to the...

    15x6 Rallye Trim Rings ??

    I would like to see pictures if you have them, I think with masking off and marking the inside of ring, I cut use the guide on my Dremel with a cutoff wheel to remove the approx 1/2 of material then finish the edge with some fine>ultra fine emery cloth. Still I haven't seen anyone offering the...

    A body lower control arm shaft kit.

    273, Good suggestion on ditching the crush nuts, they would destroy the threads on removal, I replaced mine with a set grade 8 poly lock nuts. Installed my Proforged kit today, went pretty smooth, as you mentioned press the shell > bushing > pivot shaft. My bushings went down nice and flush on...

    15x6 Rallye Trim Rings ??

    Updated my 71 340 Duster to the 5x4.5” lug big brakes, decided to go with the repro Wheel Vintiques 15x8 in the rear and 15x6 front. At the same time ordered the dark grey center caps and front trim rings. The front trim rings where Atrocious in appearance, reminded me of what would have been...

    Electric exhaust cut outs

    I had 2014 Porsche Cayenne GTS with the 4.8L /420hp power plant a few years ago, it had dual exhaust with factory exhaust cut outs, they would react in seconds on WOT and close up fast, lol I opened them regularly and they never leaked or caused any issues over the 40,000 miles of ownership...

    Mancini XHD springs :(

    Thank You for the comprehensive reply, I would say these springs have moved my axle forward at least 1/2 - 3/4 of inch over where they were located with my OE springs, and repositioned (pulled) my rear hangers to 7 o'clock position where as before they where at approx. 4:30/5:00 o'clock. It's my...

    Mancini XHD springs :(

    Got it. Loosened them and put it back on the ground. I bounced up and down a bunch, I am going to let it set overnight and see if it improves, my passenger side sets over 1.25" higher than the driver. Right or wrong I feel like the severe arch on the spring is pulling my wheels off center in the...

    Mancini XHD springs :(

    Mancini XHD springs :(

    Thanks Rusty, tried that this morning loosened the hangers and front spring eye bolt to hand tight. It appears they are pulling my hangers forward as well .

    Mancini XHD springs :(

    Thanks for the insight, to be fair it is closer to the passenger side by approx 1/4 inch, but I know their is patch panel in front portion of the quarter making the wheel house a lil thick in the area the tire is closer in.

    Mancini XHD springs :(

    Looks Good, your wheels/tires are at least centered in wheel house. Is there a difference between the "factory" XHD springs and Mancini spring? Are the Mancini springs a house brand take on the Mopar springs?

    Mancini XHD springs :(

    My biggest issue is they have moved my wheels forward causing them not to clear the passenger qtr. I am going with the Calvert split monos std ride height and Caltracs traction bars.

    Mancini XHD springs :(

    Yikes - They obviously moved my axle forward along with setting like a monster truck.

    Mancini XHD springs :(

    :wtf: I am not sure my 6800# Raptor couldn't compress these springs! This is even with the front hangers set in the -1" location. Needless to say Mancnini will be issuing an RMA tomorrow. With all the negative reviews of these I should haven't taken a chance, I replaced my 49 year old...

    Post a photo of an original 74 Duster fuel tank sending unit 3621615?

    I wish I hadn't remove my original one and tossed it.:BangHead: I had no idea the aftermarket units where junk, I have since installed x2 chop stick built senders with the same results. With 4-5 gallons of fuel my gauge barley moves the needle off empty. But hey they read correct with a full...
