    4.7 V8 engine durability questions?

    I can get a good deal on a 2000 Dakota with 78K miles and the 4.7 V8. Don't know anything about these. They were phased out after a few years for the new style Hemi. Anyone know about the durability of these? Upsides/downsides? Mike

    oil leak additive?

    Anyone have any luck with a particular brand? I have a fresh engine, so seal swelling stuff might not help. I took apart a fresh engine (500 miles) just to freshen it with new bearings. I reused the oil pan gasket, because it was one of those blue silicon ones with metal bolt hole...

    Help with my dune buggy 3.1 multiport V6?

    I've got a dune buggy with a 3.1 V6 out of a beretta. Runs good until it warms up, and then it has a part throttle stutter. Wants to stumble and stall. I've tried spraying carb cleaner around to find the vacuum leak, and nothing. I found that when I turn the key back to the off position, I hear...

    1999 Dakota starting issues?

    This is a 3.9 V6, and a 5 speed if it matters. Will run and randomly stall. When it stalls, it won't start again for a while. It cranks strongly. Gets a good amount of fuel (you can smell it), and once when this happened, my brother was there, so he pulled a plug, and I cranked it, and it was...

    Small block keeps blowing the oil filter off?

    I just fired my 360 I swapped into my '76 duster, and I heard a pop, then oil went everywhere. From the pass side where the filter goes onto that plate. I suspected the Fram filter, because I've heard not to use them for any high RPM use. (Racing) I took it off, and there was nothing wrong with...

    Anyone know what size the rear freeze plugs on a LA 360 is. The one behind the bellhousing. Also, what do you put on a steel plug to help it seal? Thanks, Mike

    Lifter lubrication orifice?

    In the latest issue of Drag Racing News, there's a short article about the loss of zinc, and phosphorus in oils. The author said to get lifters with a .012" diameter lubrication orifice in the center of the lifter foot. Are these available for Mopars? This guy was building an Olds. I'd like to...

    Trans kickdown linkage (2bl-4bl)

    I might have this in the wrong thread, move it if I do. On a 2 bl to 4 bl swap. The only difference between the linkage is the top rod? I think I remember previously, a friend just made the slot longer and the linkage worked. This is small block I'm talking about. The Cordoba won't sell, so...

    What are '596 castings?

    I've got a 1979 360, and the heads have air ports. The castings are '596s. Anyone know about these? Thanks, Mike
