shave the deck... compression goes up no matter what pistons you have.

BadAdd71 - OOps.. didn't think that the ECM was cracked to allow boost control, timing and fuel. I was wrong on that one. I do know that the dakota boys tend to piggy back a MS system with the stock ECM. 67Dart273 - They are the same to a point but like Blown71Duster said.. PCM controlled...

What would you like to know? For EFI you really can't use a stock computer for the efi with a turbo. You would need to do a Megasquirt or similar. People with Dakotas that add a turbo use a megasquirt to piggy back the stock ECU because they need the megasquirt to handle the fuel and boost.. if...

I joined, sorta. The complete kit with sway bar is sitting in my shed still available in the unopened box. I haven't had time to do anything with it yet . with that said I can say that Denny was nothing short of an absolute pleasure to deal with.

Thanks for the info... kind of a bummer though ... they aren't TOO bad.

I have the original lenses and they are in "good" shape BUT I would prefer to have them no scratched up or cracked. Anyone know where I can score some new oem or aftermarket replacements? I have tried all the big catalog companies and nothing.

No apologies necessary. I am not really looking for "comments" so to speak. Compliments are always nice but I'm building this thing they way I am building it for me. I do value the knowledge and experience from others but unfortunately like ALL forums you have to sift through the poop to find...

First.. there are images.. try reading.. it would do you some good. If you actually read instead of scrolling down looking for pictures then you would see I have an external photo gallery which at the moment has 191 images . I explained that already in this build thread. By having an external...

Rich is actually selling hoods on craigslist. I am picking up a 6pck hood for my 72 demon from his saturday. He mentioned he has a warehouse with a lot of parts in them and I think he's liquidating. For $200 I'll try the hood. Cheaper than cutting up and ruining my stock hood. I've spent $200 on...

Update. I have been accumulating parts and building a damn storage shed in the back because my garage is becoming cluttered with crap. I will be putting up more images of all the parts tonight or tomorrow. Including the engine, rear end, turbo, crank etc.. I also decided to convert the car over...

Answer to question. I successfully bolted up a 318 magnum flex plate to a 340 forged crank. Now if the question ever comes up a magnum engine will accept an LA 318 or a 340 crank and still bolt up to the magnum flex plate. If you are running a 5.2 magnum and want to keep the fuel injection...

No problem rat rod. AJ/Forms - The reason i am putting the 340 crank into my magnum is because the magnum crank is cast. The magnum crank also don't have the machining done for the throw out bearing for a 4 speed. I am building a boosted 318 magnum. Because I intend to run up 18# to 20# of...

ok.... the fact that it bolts up is nice however I am not sure about your comment in regards to the crank not fitting in the magnum. In the book "How to modify your mopar magnum v8" by Larry Shepard it specifically says and this is a quote "The 5.2 and 5.9 cranks are not interchangeable. The...

I have a 5.2 magnum. I also just acquired a 340 forged crank from a 4 speed car. I know the journals are the same and the stroke is the same and essentially they are interchangeable. my question is this... will a 5.2 magnum flywheel bolt up to my 340 crank correctly. I am well aware that a...

I have a few threads regarding this car with questions about suspension, turbo etc. I was looking for a "Builds" or "Project" area in the forum and couldn't find one so I am choosing the "Forced Induction" section since this car is getting a turbo. In an effort to help relieve the FABO website...
