    Hooker fenderwell header templates

    I dont have a template anymore, but unless it's going to be a drag only car, I'd just trim small areas and open it as needed. I used the templates on my '75 Dart Sport and it takes away a lot more than what's necessary. On my '65 Barracuda I chose to cut only what was necessary and it makes it...

    Throttle linkage?

    First off, you need the piece that slips over the stud and the nut that holds it on, instead of using safety wire. Assuming it's a V8 throttle cable, you can use the bracket you currently have, just modify it. I recommend buying a short piece of metal strap, the same thickness as the bracket...

    big block a body swap

    In that case, I'd suggest chassis headers, unless the car is being built for strip only and then I'd go with fenderwell headers.

    big block a body swap

    There's quite a few on here. Before suggesting headers, it would be better for you to tell us what trans you're planning to run. Cage isn't necessary for the street, but if you're planning any track time, it's not a bad idea. Slant 6 bars are good, but a little thicker, maybe 318 A/C bars or...

    Need help and info to help out my autistic son with his project

    You're correct, ProParts are are out of business. mopowers is also correct that you are not reading previous posts. In post 23 I told you and gave you a link to Bob Mazzolini Racing, the company that is now making them.

    Bob Mazzolini Racing makes them now. Here is a link, but be warned; like I said, they are a little pricey. Race Cars | Racing Engines | Performance Transmissions | Rear Axles | Suspensions | Ignition Systems | MoPar Parts They appear to be in stock. I don't believe that price includes...

    Need help and info to help out my autistic son with his project

    I've never attempted full fenderwell headers on an early A-body so someone else will have to provide info on that. I've seen members who have had custom sets made for them, but never any that they purchased and then modified. I posted links below to my header install so far; they are ProParts...

    Need help and info to help out my autistic son with his project

    Is it possible, yes, but what you are describing would not be a good idea; it's not as simple as getting out a Dremel tool and having at it. Assuming they are aluminum rims, you would have to have access to a machine shop tooling and be able to precisely elongate the holes. To pay someone to...

    Need help and info to help out my autistic son with his project

    If the '66 has not been upgraded to big bolt pattern, then no. However, upgrading to big bolt pattern will benefit you later as you will have a lot more options for wheels with 4.5" pattern instead of the 4" that those cars came with stock. If you are trying to keep the price down, you can...

    Schumacher makes motor mounts for your application, but unfortunately it appears they are currently out of stock. I've attached the link below. '63-66 A-Body Products K-frames on your son's car are the same whether /6 or small block, so you only need to purchase engine mounts to convert to a...

    Ethan, This is not your thread. People are posting pictures of their cars in this thread as that is what this thread was created for. MomsDuster already asked you to post outside of this thread and I gave you a link above in post #640 to your original "need help" thread. Please click on that...

    Let's see some more Big Block As. Haven't seen any activity on this thread for a while. I know, I know; sort of like the inactivity in my garage over the summer.

    Big block duster pain in the A$$

    My best friend helped me build this one. Other than modifying the bellcrank, there didn't seem much to it. Proparts headers and when you don't mind cutting access holes in the fenders, for accessing plugs, makes it much easier. Previous owner had already cut holes for fenderwell headers so...

    440 Purple Cam rust spot is it ok?

    X2. It looks a little too deep for that to work, but it's worth a try.

    440 six pack rod replacement

    I wouldn't believe they are that hard to come by. I myself have 2 sets out of motors, one set of those still attached to pistons, and a third set in a fresh motor that I plan to remove for some H-beam rods once I get to that point in my build. They are out there. Keep an eye on ebay and the...

    would you put this on your 440

    Bill, You'll probably get more responses if you put links to the ones you are asking about, rather than just a brand and part number. I don't have experience with either. I bought a fluid dampened for mine, but I haven't installed it yet and mine's a forged crank so wouldn't be useful info...

    Big Block Conversion, do it again?

    Yes; I'm on my second now. This one is a little more difficult with an early A, but it will definitely be worth the effort it when it's done.

    440 A body header options

    X2. I had them in my Duster and I have a set that I'm modifying to run on my early Barracuda. Both of my sets are the old Proparts. Plus, if you ever decide to go 4-speed, I don't think I've seen a better set for less interference. You have to modify the bellcrank some, but it wasn't too...
