Thanks for all the information. Wasn’t sure how tires were rated before. I figured the change was from bias-ply to radial

I was able to pick up a Hemi longblock for cheap. It’s a truck engine that had a camshaft failure. Customer decided to put in a new engine so I was able to get the old core engine. Engine was still in great shape - cylinder walls and camshaft bearings look good. My son and I did some cleaning...

Nice 55. Yeah hopefully these tires work out good. Not going to be a corner carver anyway. Just an old hot rod cruiser

Thank you very much for the info. I went ahead and ordered a pair of Nexen brand through work. Only ones we could get. I’ll see in a few days how they look. Think they were $90 something a piece

Currently working on engine mount fab. Also front suspension rebuild and paint work.

The Dart is still around. Plans changed a lot in the time since my last post. Decided to go Gen 3 Hemi. Lots of part collecting and figuring things out. Trying to keep it a low budget build as much as possible. 2014 5.7 and going to run my 727 trans for now.

Looking at buying a pair of 15x4 inch rims for the front of my 74 Dart. What size is everyone using ? 1658015 I think is what I had years ago.

Selling a used pair of cylinder heads for a Gen 3 Hemi. These are the Eagle heads for 2009 and up Hemi. Perfect for someone looking to upgrade a pre- eagle. Asking $400 plus shipping. I have a set of rockers and pushrods and one valve cover for an additional price. Located in NW Atlanta 30132...

I’m selling a Mopar Crate PCM. Part #P5160105 Brand new never used. This is for a 5.7 Hemi. Located in NW Atlanta area. Asking $375 shipped to lower 48

Very cool. I’m working on putting a 2014 5.7 in my 74.

Thank you for the help

Thank you. That’s kinda what I was thinking but wanted to be sure !

So did you keep the shim under the spring ? When you buy a replacement spring for a 5.7 they come with the metal shim. The new 68277306aa doesn’t. So that’s why I’m a little confused. I agree with the above post about always running the shim on an aluminum head

When you replaced your valve springs with the Mopar ones did you keep the shim or washer under the valve spring? I just bought the same springs but not sure which way to go. Mine is a 14 5.7 Thanks

Thanks for all the replies. My original thought was to remove it but wasn’t sure if I was overthinking it. I know the metal underneath should be in good shape since it has been covered for 40 plus years now by factory undercoat. It’s not going to be a show car but want to do it the right way...

Im working on the inner fenders on my Dart. Im thinking of using bed liner coating on the outside of the inner fenders. I’m wondering if I should remove all the undercoating first ? I know the metal underneath should be in good shape but I’m wondering if the new coating will adhere properly to...

Lol Thanks Joe. I’m kinda thinking of trying them but I know a few guys on here have run Tti headers. Maybe someone sees something on these I’m not aware of.

https://www.speedwaymotors.com/Doug-s-Headers-D4477-Full-Length-Header-1-5-8-In-68-74-Mopar-CC,302492. What do you guys think about these in an a-body ? I know they are listed for B-E I see they are 1 5/8 primary tube so I’m wondering if the smaller tubes will fit better.

I’m interested in how you worked out the column linkage when you get to that point. Awesome build!

Happy Birthday Kevin! Hope it’s a good one!

Rest In Peace Roy. Had a chance to meet Roy back in 2009 when I was moving from St Pete Fl to Atlanta. I had a 318 and engine stand i couldn’t take with me. Roy came to my house and got them from me cause he didn’t want them to go to waste. Talked for a bit and told he was soon to retire from...

Any updates ?

Good luck Kevin! I’m already a sub but I’ll try to get the word out as much as I can!

Merry Christmas to you and your family !

Thanks for this info. Do you have any pictures of how you mounted the radiator ? I’m thinking of doing the same for my swap just haven’t figured how I want to mount it. I know the factory uses brackets on top of the rad. Maybe be able to attach to the upper rad support. Thanks

Thanks for the reply. I do have a 6.4 truck intake. I know it won’t clear my hood. Have considered trying it to get the engine running. Without the hood of course! I still have a long way to go before this. I appreciate your experience with these engines.

Thanks for the update. I was wondering how the car was running. I have a 14 5.7 I picked up for my Dart project. Got a new 6.4 auto cam for it. Hope I’m making the right choice on that. Trying to be low buck as I can within reason. Haven’t fully decide on carb or injection yet. Sucks MSD doesn’t...

That’s going to be awesome!! Please keep us updated with the progress. Looking at a 5.7 swap for my 74 Dart also

Prayers sent. Very sorry he is going through this battle. Never met him but followed his scamp build and wish him and his loved ones well

Looks good! Much better and now It has some protection. Did you wind up sanding between coats?
