What I know about the 5.2 is it has been modified. The intake manifold has been changed (got rid of that ugly ill designed turtle shell) to 4 barrel, the throttle body is a 4 barrel, cam is not the factory cam, exhaust has been redone. Know the heads were ported and polished. We bought it as...

sent them an email to start the process.

Okay, thanks for the info.

Was planning on putting a 1999 5.2 with a 46re into my 74 Duster. But was given in church this morning an A833 from an A body that was used in an auto shop class. It has been rebuilt ever year and never installed for the last several years. Missing side plate, bell housing and sifter. Anyway...

No need to sell the engine/tranny. The 318 in the dakota could beat anything up Rice Hill. So power is not an issue.

Been searching on here for some answers but still have questions. What I have is a 1974 Duster that was a 318 car with an auto. My daughter had a 1999 Dakota with a 5.2 with a 46re 4x4 tranny, cracked and bent frame. I found a intake manifold from Huges that will replace that ugly turtle...

There are four basic routes, I-5 through California to I-40 across to Texas, Or down through Reno, Las Vegas, to Flagstaff then I 40 to Texas, Or Us 20 across Oregon to Idaho and I 84 to Saltlake City then either through Wyoming to I-25 down through Denver and then to Texas, or from Salt lake...

I will be driving an empty pickup from Oregon to Texas early to mid June. I would be willing to haul anything that fits in the bed of the truck (8' bed) to deliver along or near the route. Would require some help with fuel. Can provide references.

Don't use vinyl. No matter what you do they only have a 5 year life span. Use paint, will last much longer, gives a cleaner look, and care is easier.

So sad, some dumb Brass Holes had to prove how brain dead they are. So sorry for those who lost there lives here and the families. They should be charged with murder one. As some have said we all did stupid stuff in cars as teens. At least in the town I grew up in the city police would shut...

Fresno is 600 miles from me. Could be done, depending on what you want.

Working on restoring a 1974 gold duster. The PO sanded off the strips from the quarter panels. I need the measurements from the door opening to where the strip starts getting wider. Thanks

Buying a car to flip is no small task. You will make your money in the purchase price. That is the cheaper you get the car the better. Second is in doing as much as you can yourself. Rust through will kill your profit, body work and body panels are costly. Paint is expensive and if you...

Received the front bumper guards today. Thanks.

BTW Uship is where I found loads (cars or boats only) if you use them check feedback.
