I use a manual choke (every old car I own) and I let it run on high idle until I get to mid choke then I will get moving but go easy until I take the choke completely off and I am close to full temp. Unless it's in the summer and above 75 degrees then usually it won't even need the choke and be...

That is some good stuff

So, if you were going to re use a cam, would you clean it up the same way with 400 grit and oil?? I have an engine (318) and I replaced the cam bearings but decided to re use the cam. So I didn't want to put a used surface against a brand new bearing, so how should I clean up the cam or...

But captain !!! The klingons are approaching !!

If you remove the transmission cross member and tilt the transmission tail down on a jack, you can get a socket on a medium extension, straight shot right on the upper bell housing bolts. The other option is like others mentioned, remove the hood and sit on either the cowl or engine and...

Trial fit it before cutting the notch for the oil pump. I have done many of these conversations and every k frame is slightly different. I had one k frame that didn't require a notch cut at all, the ear sat back far enough that it didn't touch and this was how it was from the factory. Others...

I would bolt it on an engine or something solid and then use a stud gun and dent puller and metal finish just like you would any body panel that you cant reach behind the dent. should only take a few studs and couple hard pulls and then some finesse pulls and should be un-noticeable once you...

totally different z-bar will be needed ....the slant six one is about 8 inches IIRC ....the big block one is shorter and one of the tabs has a bend to it so it kicks to one side. The best way is a re-pop BB z-bar kit from brewers ....expensive but a bolt in time saver. The re-pop is real...

The term also applies though less used to the 170 slant six. The 170 is an LG "low G" engine ......a.k.a. "low deck six" the 225 is an RG which means "raised G" because the stroke made it taller.

but considering the talents of the OP ....I trust it is an interesting build.

what did I miss .....Valiant?? link??

sounds very nice ......I assume this is for the green dart?? is there a build thread anywhere.

if you are going from a small block 904 to a small block 727 then the linkage will the same because its the same bell size. If your big block swapping then the BB 727 has a bigger bell area so it needs a shorter z-bar looking piece. when I BB swapped my coronet and kept the column shift, I...

battery tray should be fine where it is. A lot of people like to relocate the battery to the trunk but that is for traction ...maybe a cleaner look under hood without a battery taking up space but it will fit fine under hood with an RB.

if I am not mistaking the 67 is more restrictive than the 68 and 9 and not worth as much ......not sure if that is true but that is what I was told because I have a factory BB manifold set from a 67. Could have been a fast talking guy trying to buy the set off me for cheap or the 67 could be...

as the old saying goes .......there are cheaper ways to make your car slower LOL In reality I have only had or heard of small block A-bodies going faster. Big blocks are sexy and have the wow effect when you open the hood but physics dictates that small blocks have the advantage with weight...

I am starting to think the clearance to the passenger side inner fender is tighter on a 383 because its lower. Here is the clearance on a 440 on a modified spool mount K with a stock B-body HP manifold ......if it were lower like a 383 I bet it would have been a real problem but being higher...

That's interesting ....I wonder if a factory Big block K frame moves the engine over to the passenger side a bit to clear the drivers mount. ?? on a home fabbed K frame (former slant six K ) and modified Spool mount K the passenger side sits with about 1/4 to 1/2 inch clearance with an RB ...

well it wasn't specified with THEM and THEY and the topic is the OP !!!! "THEM" could have meant the OP (logical assumption) because that is what we are looking at and seeing here....I never saw a pic of any A-body manifolds in this thread till I put a link to some

this is a big block A-body set .....now the driver side one is worth some serious money not so much the wayyyyy more common B-body driver side ones. http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=92051

those are being re-popped and they are just B-body manifolds. The passenger side one is correct for A and B but the driver side is a B-body unit. If they are selling for 2k then I have a few pairs for sale. Last I checked B-body units like in the OP are going for 300. - 450. The B-body...

I have these dizzys that are supposedly from 400s I need one to convert a 70 383 to electronic but I am not sure what I am looking at. How do I know for sure that these are for low deck engines. The one on the right looks a bit odd but the guy I got them from swears up and down that...

I have dropped a big block in a slant six car before and drove it with the original slant six drum brakes and T-bars and all. Some people make too much of it, sometimes you just gotta run what you brung. I never had a problem with it. Regardless what engine or suspension is in the car, you...

most 71 had cast....one year only They were not usually drilled for a speed and create a huge headache to get them drilled and to get a flywheel balanced to them. I ran into this when I pulled a 383 from a 71 Newport. in the end it was just easier to swap the crank out with an older one and...

or this one :jocolor:

its actually FWE = fill when empty

if you have to ask what the MPGs are then you probably need a newer econo-box. Most normal people don't build these cars for economy.....I have a 72 swinger with a 440 and its a real fun car, I only fill it up with gas when its empty. Unless you have the will power of a monk to stay off a...

in school they tell you to keep the main caps in order but never talked about bring caps from another engine ...they assumed you are working on a late model engine that came to you complete.

ok, i bought a 440 over the summer and it was missing 3 main caps .....but it is a good date code and an HP block and mega cheap so i bought it anyway despite the missing caps. (you all know i cant pass up something like that anyway) so last night i had a friend show up at my house and he...
