    Come on Goodmark!

    Battery tray is jacked. Not even close. Funky pinches and causes tray not to line up. BFH I guess is the solution. Anyone else have this issue? May as well use my original. It’s in decent shape.

    440 torker 2

    I’ve got a built 440 with a Torker 2 intake. It’s a mystery build that I got with an abandoned 68 BB Dart project years ago. I sold the body and kept the engine, headers, bbp brake parts, etc for more than I paid for everything. My question. Is the torker 2 a decent intake overall? The 440...

    What older Dodge pickup truck would you get if you could choose?

    Looking at getting an old Dodge pickup truck for hauling stuff. 60-80s would be fine. I could at least work on them pretty easily. I found this 85 Ramcharger on craigslist near me. Seems like it may be a good deal. Looks clean. http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sfv/cto/2067922502.html What...

    904 with 6.1L SRT Hemi ???

    Do you guys think a beefy, correctly modified 904 could hold up to the 6.1L Hemi in an A-body? Reason I ask is I've been debating the 3G Hemi in my 68 Dart. I guess I could find a small block 727 as well but I already have 2 904's to work with.

    Is it legal to kill your roommate's cat???

    I wanted to kill this cat soooo bad this afternoon. I had my hood out letting the sun UV cure the clearcoat.
