Solid advice - it's almost like you have to draw the course curves in your mind and focus on a particular cone as a braking spot and/or turning in spot on the opposite side to your line, as effectively the apex isn't always going to be the cone. All about finding the smooth and faster line.

You and @AJ/FormS have got me worried ! I need to drive home afterwards! Appreciate the 904 isn’t an AX gearbox, but took that it’s pretty robust. My engine parts are all pretty high-end - only things that are stock are crank and connecting rods. Diff and rear end is brand new Quick Performance...

Yep - looks like i'm going to have fun in my oversized go kart! I'm going to rock up, look at tire pressures but that will probably be about it - this is for fun in any matter, so not planning on loosing site of that! The Pro-flo 4 has stood by Edelbrock's promises so far - be that I went...

Perfect - turning my girl into an oversized go cart - 2nd gear all the way it is (for these pre tremec days!) - my engine was built for lower end torque, so hope this helps (will be getting it Dynoed at Moparty too, so be interesting to see the stats from that too). Yep, this is all sound...

Here are a few more shots of ‘Fiona’ - it’s now a fuel injection 360 Magnum - here’s my engine build specs - again a daily driver, so made some compromises: · 5.9 block Magnum 360 block from a 2001 Dodge Dakota o Bore and Stroke: 4.030 in. and 3.580 in. · Stock OE crankshaft...

Solid advice - think I’m a reasonable, quick and smooth driver - but I’ve only driven against myself!! Practice might be tough but am going to join my local AX club soon - an abody amongst the Miatas and Ford STs ! In any matter, going to practice the hard starts from 1 to 2 on the column...

Good advice - as always!!! This is my set-up - have it saved : ***SUSPENSION*** Bilstein Shocks - A Body - Front and rear - non-adjustable Sway-A-Way Torsion Bars - A Body Mopar - 1.08 Bumpstop - Round - 11/16 Mopar Lower Control Arm, stiffened with a BAC welded plate Hellwig Sway Bars -...

Hey FolkS, I’ll be at Moparty next month, autocrossing my 1973 Scamp - this will be my first time at an autocross event and am fully prepared to be making a fool of myself. Am looking for tips - am a year away from installing a Tremec 5-speed, so for 2024 it’s the 904 with the stock torque...

Thanks JD - I spotted that steering column hole the other day when I was trying to fix the bust link in my wiper transmission, a pivot bushing had broken - new problem!! Hopefully leak is sorted - but can’t tell until I’m stuck in the rain and now can’t even test that now without wipers !! Will...

Update: again thanks folks, your advice is ‘always’ golden. I managed to clean out the cowl drain holes with a flexible drain unblocking pipe. Miracle of miracles there is an odd cover for something on the cowl wall - seen picture here with arrow pointing at it - I was able to remove this and...

Thank you for the link. I’ve got AC !! Is the install problem just lack of space? Doesn’t look much fun either way, presuming there’s no ‘temporary’ fix from above if it’s the wipers?

Water through firewall - I’ve got rainwater coming through the firewall of my 1973 Plymouth Scamp. For disclosure, am investigating tomorrow but wondering what might be the cause of it. When driving in heavy rain it’s actually dripping through the firewall under the steering column, behind the...

Sorry I got to this so late. You’re right, that measurement is crucial. I managed to make it to shop and up on ramp to measure. We measured 3 times and got 55 3/8” . My shop are excellent at chassis set-up - we had a long chat and agreed we’d go with the drum to drum measurement we had and would...

Sorry - work got in the way of life. I’ve ordered the rear end - coming after the Christmas holidays. Absolutely love the look and stance of your Duster!! Spot on with the pro touring observation - exactly what I’m looking for - I love corners - so want something that rides well but is punchy...

Thank you, again. I have called my shop, and booked her in, as they are specialists in chassis dynamics and will measure everything, including space to the quarters and advise on tyre widths and we can address the axel width. I think this is too important for me to make a guesstimate -...

Spot on - I have those - it’s the measurement outside drum to outside drum I need but am wondering if I can go a little wider than the existing 7.25.

Thank you, as ever, lots of good advice. Am thinking i need to measure in any case....but..... Two things: Am not sure if i have a BBP, i think it might be SBP, as this is the stock 1973 axel. Am not sure why Quick Performance need the measurement but think best i get it up on a ramp and...

Hey All - I have ordered a new rear end from Quick Performance and they need a measurement that I don't have. I measured flange to flange and center to center of the leaf springs but they are requesting the measurement for the outside of drum brake to outside of the other drum. The car is a...

Thanks. In your opinion, is there anything I really need to do or can I get by for a few months with the current set-up?

Incase useful, following message above - here’s the main build specs….. • 5.9 block Magnum 360 block from a 2001 Dodge Dakota o Bore and Stroke: 4.030 in. and 3.580 in. • Stock OE crankshaft externally balanced • Stock Rods with ARP Bolts • Speed-Pro Hypereutectic Pistons o...

Piggy backing in this thread and looking for some PRACTICAL ADVIVE - as don’t want to change many things for a couple of reasons outlined below. Nearly finished the build of my 360 Magnum - very nice build (I think, at least on paper :) - after lots of advice from FAO members) - will post specs...

Understood - it’s sad that some folks have no moral code. Putting trust in people is strength but when it’s broken it takes time to build that trust back up. I followed the threads, and how they went missing is pretty disgusting. Love this group and what it’s about - as I learn am sure to put...

Thanks for kind of putting new members like me in the ‘lowlifes’ bracket. Have some faith in people - we don’t all come on here to steal somebody’s template. New members probably share the same values as you and others on this group - we just came into Mopars later than you, and are still...

Great - I’ve stupidly purchased EngineQuest heads in Magnum intake pattern (too late to return) and really need to drill to the LA pattern. Can you help, happy to compensate? Feel free to DM if preferred.

Do you still have this or rent it out?

Hi there - do you still have this and offer the same offer? Am looking to drill my magnum heads to LA intake pattern.

Thanks but am building a mid performance street/autocross engine. Have heard good things about Morel.

Just wondering if you can help - do you know if these lifters will be suitable for a 360 Magnum engine build?

AC help needed!!…. The instructions with my AC universal hose and fittings kit are pretty basic - am wondering if anybody can answer these questions - i’m replacing the lines and fittings in my 1973 Scamp - as have added a new compressor. Questions: 1) do I need to keep or replace the...
