    My '69 Dart Build - Finally

    Sorry for the long post - but this is a long story. About 13 years ago, wanting something like my old '69 340 Swinger that I stupidly sold back in the late 1980s, I bought a '69 Dart 270 on eBay. It was an unfinished project that the previous owner had tired of. It was advertised as having...

    Asking Is Always Free - And Sometimes Rewarding!

    I was going to order some parts from magnumforce.com online, but thought I'd call and check to see if I could get a better price. Asking is always free, right? Ended up getting $50 knocked off the $299 online price and also got the shipping charge cut almost in half. Lesson here is don't...

    Anybody Using A TCI Auto Trans Shifter???

    I like the looks of the new TCI Diablo shifter. I'm curious if anybody is using any type of TCI automatic trans shifter and what you think of it. Quality? Function? Performance? Are they gated shifters or ratchet? This will be for a mostly street driven application. Thanks!

    Bye-Bye Al-Anabi - Maybe For Good This Time!!!

    Back in November 2011 I started a thread titled, "Bye-Bye Al-Anabi???" when the rumor surfaced they may be pulling their funding for Alan Johnson's top fuel cars. Today, Dragzine.com reports the Qatar Racing Club has terminated all funding for motorsports activities in North America. The...

    I just received my January 2014 Popular Hot Rodding in the mail today and found an interesting article on Hinkle Performance (London, KY) build of what they're calling "Mopar's throwaway big-block" 361. You're going to have to read the article for all of the details, but using some creative...

    An SRT Barracuda?!?

    Borrowed this from 'pabster' over on FBBO, thought it worthy of discussion here as well: Maybe I'm just getting old and grumpy, but this looks just like everything else to me. And the "Dodge" name is being replaced with "SRT"? http://www.caranddriver.com/features...da-future-cars

    New 6 Pak SetUp??? Just Wondering...

    So, just wondering since the new Demon 625cfm Street Demon is technically a 3 bbl. carb with the GVS Throttle Plate secondary, could you call two of them mounted on a tunnel ram intake a "Six Pak"? Hmmm...a 1250 cfm Six Pak. Sure would look pretty and cause all kinds of raised eyebrows!

    Opinions Wanted - What Do You Think Of This Style Scoop on '67-69 Dart???

    So here's the deal...I want something different for the look on my Dart. Something that hasn't been done to death (six pack style) and really don't want to use the '68 Hemi scoop since it's going to have a stout small block in it. Thought about the twin '70 Dart/Duster/Demon scoops but just...

    Just a reminder that it never hurts to ask, you might be surprised at the answer. Not going to mention the company name because I don't want them getting a bunch of calls all asking the same thing. A few weeks ago I got a card in the mail from a well-know suspension company offering a 20%...
