With stock gauges, what is done with the ammeter?

Im looking to get some pistons for my stroker build, 4.05 crank, 6.125 h beam rods..big end 2.100 small end .927, but I do not want to spend 1k on them. Need a complete set with rings, pins, so anybody got suggestions other than eBay? I would like to be at a 392 or 400 cu.in. Thanks!!

check the for sale section for 6.1 manifold and ported tb.

I know this is the poor mans way of stroking, but hey, I got more time than money. My thought process is offset grind the crank to 2.100 big end size, get sbchebby rods in 6.125 length, and .020 over size pistons for a 5.7 and hopefully have a 392. I need the pro's/cons of doing this, so any...

I decided to do this cause I have seen these mods done by company's and they want your kidney as payment. This mod is done so the truck engine can use the car intake manifold or the 6.1 manifold. You will have to make 2 brackets to mount the alt. and a/c compressor but since tou put in the...

Has anyone tried this for a factory style retro fit, ie., factory computer and a wiring harness from hotwireauthis is to?? Just curious to see if this is doable and if there would be any benefit for a n/a engine, no boosting of anykind.

As stated, I'm trying to confirm which is the water pump pressure outlet. Is it the metal tube or the threaded nipple?? Need to confrim asap, thanks!!

Most of you guys know that I have a 6.1 intake on my 5.7 and use my own custom cnc'd spacers/adapters to clear the truck timing cover (was too lazy to mill the timing cover at the time). The spacers are 1.5 inches tall and work just great. Here's the problem....after driving and I pop the...

Since I have found out that wire coming out of the harness for the electronic speedo signal from hotwireauto isn't truly a speed signal I have decided to go with a gps sender, intelletronix.com for a few reasons. 1. My speedo counts mileage with the engine running, doesnt matter if the car is...

After working on getting the tach to work properly for 3 hours and talking with Tincup, and a phone call to dakota digital, it finally works. Here's the parts that you will need, assuming that you are using a wiring harness from hotwire, bouchillon, or s&p. MSD GMR Pickup (part# 8918) and...

Somebody asked to see the spacers I made on the cnc at work and I finally got around to remembering to take some pics, so here they are!!

I was just crusing ebag and see all sorts of ls1 ported tb's going from 40 bucks to 130 bucks. So this begs the ?, WTF are the mopar vendors doing??? Why are ours sooooo much more??? There is no sane reason for it, other than "lets see how far we go up in price before people start...

I put some stuff in the for sale section, check it out.

So if yoour thinking of doing this swap, either lx or 6.1 manifold, this is what you will run into. I made spacers, which gave more runner length and torque. Or you can mill down the timing cover and then the lx manifold will drop right in, but you need to move the alt. and a/c compressor...

I maybe getting another set of 5.7 heads elcheapo, and if this happens I want to do a few changes. I have a new stock 6.1 cam that will go in, and want to know if the 6.1 exhaust springs should be used as I'm doing this on squeaky tight wallet creakin' budget. Do I replace ALL the valve...

We all know to stay away from the 03 stuff, wish I knew that 6 years ago but I digress. So which computer would let someone have tuning options with a hand held tuner and get the most out of both? I have been kicking the idea around of getting an 05 computer and another harness from...

As I was talking with Dave Weber at modern muscle about putting a 6.1 intake manifold on my 5.7, I told him I have spacers that are 1.5 inches tall to get clearence over the timing cover and usinf an LX 5.7 manifold and I find what he said a tiny bit odd at the least. He said that I shouldn't...

Some of ya might have been over to FBBO and seen my early b body build with a 5.7 hemi and 545rfe trans. Well I've been throughly dissapointed with mpg.....13.5. This was checked with a full tank, drove 70 miles a day for 3 days, all freeway and filled up again to check. My combo is an 03'...

I just put a tune from my hyperpac, 91 octane, 128 speed limit, firmer shifting and raised the rpm's by 300. I noticed shifting from first to second, it shifts around 4600. Seems to me it should shift around 5800 to 6000. My rear gears are 3.91 and the tires are 28 inches tall. Am I missing...

Some of you may have seen my thread on FBBO, late model hemi into early b bodies, and now that I've been driving it for a few weeks I have this nagging question/problem/maybe nothing to lose sleep over it. My temp is running at 210 give or take a few degrees. I first started off with the...
