My level of excitement is over the top right now! For those that don't know, I swapped out my tired old 318 for a fresh LA 360. This was a considerable project for me, as I'm very busy with work and other important things. Since this is my first Mopar, I had LOTs of questions, both before...

Okay, so I don't know if this is a really dumb idea… LOL, but why couldn't I find a common air cleaner and clone it into a 1970 "340" air cleaner? I mean couldn't I cut off the air horn (or both of them) and get somewhat of a similar looking air cleaner? Have any of you done something like...

These are the valve covers I decided on using for my 360. I'm just gonna paint em up to match the block, maybe buff or sand off the raised areas for the effect Anybody know what oil fill cap I can use? And should I knock out another hole for a breather? If so, how is it done, and what grommet...

I've got my engine out, and I want to mock up the radiator (I bought a real nice used aluminum one from Fishy68) So I will need to drill four holes in the core support. This will be much easier to do while the engine is out! I want to make sure of placement, primarily the height of the radiator...

Well I just got the car back from the body shop. They refinished the engine bay for me, it looks great! My engine (1990 roller cam 360) is still on the stand, but close to being ready to go in. I'm finally motivated again to get this project rolling. After I get the engine in, it's going back in...

I have no idea how to post the video itself, but if you have an Instagram account, check out this mornings post by "moderndayhotrods". For those that don't have an IG, hopefully someone will post up the video here. It's a whole new concept ( to me) for a car lift - as opposed to the...

Looking for the LOKAR part number for a combo kick down and throttle cable kit, complete with brackets and cables, etc. for my 1970, A body 904, LA block, Demon carb. All I can seem to find are a lot of separate parts, and it's a little confusing to make sure I am getting everything I need. It...

If you need anything by way of seals, gaskets, etc... They specialize in all things Mopar. The code is "Hot20" I just saved about $40 but only good til midnight PST

:banghead: As luck would have it I now have a snapped off 9/64ths cobalt bit in one of the exhaust manifold bolts. It's below the surface, and I've gone thru several new 5/32 bits, but it is taking forever, not much progress. :banghead: Is there another type of bit that is harder than cobalt...

I don't know if this will be a good idea or not, but I have had poor experience with chrome, it usually pits and rusts a lot quicker than good paint. So I have seen the chrome timing covers for around $32 on eBay, from Trans-Dapt Performance Products. I'm considering buying one and painting...

I was planning on getting a new carb for when I get my 360 swapped over. But I have had such good luck with it on my 318, I may try it out on the 360. Can anybody identify which Carter AFB it is? Cfm?

I found this today, looks like an awesome setup. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bCehkkTTeMk Does anybody here have any experience with one of these? If you don't want to watch the video, it is a blaster using air, water, and glass beads. The results are pretty impressive. Practally no mess...

This is obviously from a novice speaking here... I have a complete long block and transmission sitting on the floor of my garage. I put it in there with an excavator... The engine will go in my Dart to replace the tired 318. The transmission will probably go up for sale here later. The...

My car is a 70 Dart w/ a 318, gonna do a 360 swap, apparently the left motor mount (drivers side) needs to be altered in order for it to work? I also read that some people just add some washers / spacers? Is that going to be strong and safe? Here is a pic of the driver side mount for a 318 (one...

I have somewhat of a dilemma in regards to the molding that goes on my car. (1970 Dart) The molding was removed at the time I purchased the car, but I have all six pieces. I am trying to decide whether or not to put the molding back on. I am working towards getting the car painted in the...

I have one of these manifolds that I would like to sell, wondering how to best go about it. I think it is pretty rare, as most poly 318 engines came only with two barrel carbs. This is an original Mopar part, been stored for many years, and appears to be in good condition. Since I doubt...

I would really like to see some A-bodies painted in "rat rod" black or satin black. I am trying to convince myself to spend big bucks to get my car painted back to the original color, but with the expense of doing the engine swap right now, I'm considering painting it myself. At least it would...

I haven't used this, but after seeing their video, I think it might be a good alternative in some cases. The 2 part components are mixed by puncturing the inner cylinder just prior to use. Obviously the entire can must be used at once, but likely a more durable finish than typical spray...

I'm trying to compile all the parts I will need to put my Dart back together after she gets paint. The side trim was removed when I got the car, but I have a complete set of correct trim to put back on. (If it weren't for the large holes, 1/4", I would fill them and eliminate the trim). Can...

I'm looking for one of those plates that bolt to the intake manifold for engine pulling. Anybody have an idea where to get one, ore have one for sale? Thanks

Do any of you know who the member is that makes custom emblems? I believe he works @ a cnc machine, can do cool aluminum emblems. Thanks

I have a set of wheel lip moldings that are 43 years old... They need restored, mostly just dull, oxidized, small scratches, some undercoating... So should I go after them with 600 grit? Any chemical do's / donts? I'm not looking for perfection, just want to clean em up to look good. My...

This is only a picture / painting, not a photo, so I want to know if the hubcaps even exist, are they correct for a 70 Dart? I've been looking for a set. Thanks Mark

I'm planning on taking my car in for paint pretty soon. I have never had a car painted before, so I feel a little ignorant when taking to the shop owners. The place where I think I will take it, the owner says he will remove all trim, bumpers, chrome, etc,. He plans on a base / clear coat...

I'm hoping to pull the 318 in two weeks for the 360 swap. I was wondering if there is a significant difference in level of difficulty between pulling the engine alone, or pulling the engine and tranny together? Seems like either way has its advantages, but what are you guys doin? I will be...

This may be a decent carb to put on my 360, looking for opinions here. I don't know how to identify it, but I will post a picture of it below. It has been "on the shelf for about 25 years or more, but it has been stored dry. If it turns out to be a desireable carb, I'm thinking of sending it...

I need to generate some $$ to get my car painted, so... I'm going to let go of this cool old STR15 intake setup. This manifold has not been mounted up for at least 41 years. Prior to that, I can't say with certainty, but I don't think it was ever really used. Maybe for a mock up? Definatly has...

Just curious about the Barracuda pictured on the top of the home page. Who's car is it? And what it the story behind it? I couldn't figure out how to post a larger picture of it, but you've obviously seen It! Looks like a pretty hot car with those front tires pulling off the pavement.

I just thought it would be kinda cool to polish the manifold in my spare time... It will be a while before I need it. This is a typical, semi - rough casting made of aluminum. Is there a method of sanding, grinding, and polishing one of these? How? 8) Just thinking of this, don't know if...
