What constitutes an engine to be "Hi Performance" ? ? ? Is it a horsepower rating?? Is it because it has a performance piece added to the typical run of the mill ?? Or is it the label on the air cleaner ??? If it's HP rating, then today's run of the mill 4 banger in a honda is just as much...

Take me back to the days of simplicity... where 1/2, 9/16, and 5/8 wrenches would fix almost anything along the road :) I think there was more value for your money then. 225 - 440. Nowadays horsepower, torque, mpg, and highway speeds are all way up, but is there more value for your money???

"Just tell them it's a 318, they'll never know....." a common response here, and all over the webs. I've never played the game. Is it to make the brand of Mopar look awesome? Is it to make themselves look awesome? My 360 is a 360, and I'll never tell the chevy guy it's a 273. It's usually the...

Block strength. It's the only two words that jump out in my mind. Love them or hate them, ugly or not, the engines of recent muscle car years offer block strength. Our old iron blocks are at risk when pushing the HP close to 4 digits. Seems the new gen blocks of Ford, GM, or Mopar can...

Didn't want to derail stroked 340's thread any further. I think this is a really good comparison. I have both now, and in the past. Can we put aside our bias and speak facts, functions and possibilities? Lets assume same car/gear/transmission & converter. Which do you like best in these 4...

'79 Magnum. Looks as if I'll need to remove the transmission. I've not done this on a late B body. Looks like the crossmember won't drop unless I remove the torsion bars ???? Is this right ?? Thanks in advance

All rebuilt... for those that value having their A-body be different.... :) 1953 Dodge 241 Red Ram

We know a lot of us use our mopars a 1/4 mile at a time. Some only a 1/8 mile at a time! Some, they are just a garage ornament. Some actually go 10 miles to the local cruise in. But some of us use the cars for the road, meaning short distance or long haul, we're in! My wife and I have...

Just letting everyone know that summit has a sale - Doug 453 (ceramic) and 453-b (painted hi temp black). I bought a set of Doug 453-B headers (only 1 pair left in stock !!!) 79.50 off the ceramic, and 65.00 off the Hi-temp painted. I have Doug's on my '76 Duster and they are the best...

Did all 440's come with a windage tray? I was surprised the '77 (or was it 78... lol) RV 440 had one... Thanks

I've not done much in the way of manual shift projects. I love manuals, I've owned manuals, I've done clutch/pressure plate/ throwout bearings, and I have general "public" knowledge on manuals. But not specifics and I'm certainly no guru :D Here is my question: I bought a '74 D300 (one ton...

Even though I don't have much left, I will keep most of it. Too hard to find, and too expensive when I do find it. Over the years I've given away so much for free, or charged a "hobby-friendly" price. I think the time has come that if it's not made anymore, and I think I'll use it, I'll...

Just documenting the process. That's it. It's not a "what should I do?" thread. It is NOT a performance build. I could not care less what it runs in the 1/4 mile. Our 1979 Dodge Magnum ............... is getting the 383/tranny pulled because it is running a fever :D and replacing it is...

Per sake of the discussion, let's say the car is a '72 Duster, 318 with and addition of 600 eddy carb on a performer intake and 2.25" duals ran out the back from the stock manifolds. The car has a 904, and 3.23 gears. All in good working condition. *WHAT MOVES THE CAR QUICKER IN THE QUARTER...

Jim, a guy I've known for over 30 years... .570 lift, RPM intake, 4.57 gears....

Toolmanmike asked me to start a thread to warn folks that may not know that "ready to run out of the box" heads need to be inspected. Here is what we found, and diverted a catastrophe, on our 5.2 magnum build. And for those that don't have time for the entire video, you can start on the 9...

It's about a 12"x12". Raised letters and car is raised also. I generally don't buy these, but this is a really nice sign!

Seems we tell the upgrade story to every builder. 318 < 360/340 < 408 < and so on. What I find ironic is it seems just a few of us actually take our cars to the strip, or horse around out of town, or show interest in racing in general. Question: Is your "performance upgraded" V8...

RV cam. Is that like a 3/4" cam? RV cam. How many guys have cam swapped their Winnebago ? RV cam. I have a Comp Cam that they state is an "RV cam" in a 360, but a "street cam" in a 318. Huh ?? Does this mean I can use an "RV cam" in my 360 motor home but not my 318 motor home ???? LOL...

... with your projects for 2022. I've fallen behind, kind of... Drag Truck - it's current and placed on back burner for "what's next" :) '74 Duster - behind on "change and challenge. Some is done but behind the plan :( '76 Duster - Nothing done to the plan. :( :( Rambler - Pretty much on Q...

IF your engine runs out of oil, or the oil pump quits working..... which is the first bearing to be starved of oil ? If you add oil, which is the last bearing to get oil ? :thumbsup:

To me this just means you didn't race the right car. Period. Or perhaps the story has developed over time?? LOL... Before there was youtube, forums, and websites to post ET slips and see what's out there, it was all story time at the taste-freeze and gas station parking lots talk. So...

Where are you all getting them?? Denny's is out of stock/obsolete. Thank You.

"You'll lose your lower end!" "You'll drown it in fuel!!!!!!" "The computer chart says... cfms's!!!! "Blah Blah Blah BLAH !!!!!" I've heard it all, but the wind is out of my sail to continue the beat. I simply walk away. I say "ok", then smile. I will charge to explain it anymore. LITERALLY...

I know the bolt pattern is different. Has anyone used these? Looking to get rid of the impact bumper shocks/brackets. Somebody done something else to eliminate?? Or am I left to create my own brackets? I've already cut the brace out behind the bumper. I want to keep the factory chrome...

1980 Dodge D150. I'm going to go to manual brakes. I bought a "universal" adjusting brake rod that should work. My question is, does anyone make the adapting plate to mount the master cylinder to the fire wall? Or am I going to have to make my own. Thanks 318WR

1970 300. All of a sudden, that car's front end and back end has just jumped out at me like "bad, bad, bad""""..... lol Scary, but I'm look'n.

Anyone doing that ??
