    1971 F4 green.... anyone have any pics of repaints?

    Looking to see who has had their f4 green car repainted and what you think of the original color match? What paint brand did you use? Looking to stay really close to stock and don't want to stray.

    408 Build Thread

    Just posting to keep the thread fresh and glad I found it again. Thanks for documenting your journey and all the specifics. Very close to my build, same cam/compression just Magnum heads and EFI and pistons out of the hole a tad. Hopefully dropping my 408 in my Demon soon. Been 2 years after...

    How many of you out there running manual steering?

    Thanks for all the input. It looks like manual steering it is. More header clearance, and I don't have to worry about cooking the power steering fluid either. The factory power steering is just crap. It is responsive, but you really can't feel what is going on. I kinda like the idea of...

    How many of you out there running manual steering?

    Have a 71 Demon which has power steering. I am in the process of dropping a 408 aluminum headed Magnum in the car, and it would be nice to have a little more room on the drivers side area of the engine compartment. Will end up running TTI headers anyway. I have a spare K Member with a manual...

    Oil pan recommendations

    which kevko pan is that? do you think they would install the drain plug to the rear?

    Oil pan recommendations

    I believe Milidon has a few pans available. Fitment is where it's at for me. It may be a couple months before I drop the motor in as it's being machined. I'd hate to be that guy selling new parts I couldn't use in the classifieds.

    Oil pan recommendations

    408 Stroker, Magnum based block and will be using Magnum serpentine set up. Going in a 1971 Demon. Extra capacity Oil pan recommendations /windage tray. Will be using TTI headers. What have you used that fit well?

    When should I hard block? 408 Magnum

    Thank you all for the info. What high capacity oil pan would you guys recommend for a Magnum stroker? I will be using the Magnum timing cover and would like to use the Magnum gasket.

    When should I hard block? 408 Magnum

    Understood. I just had my overbore done and it's been torque plate honed. I am already nervous about cooling issues in south Texas. I have a 3 row aluminum radiator and a fan clutch. I plan on using a Kevko or a Milidon and possibly plumbing an oil cooler.

    When should I hard block? 408 Magnum

    What level of HP should I be concerned enough about my block that I should hard block? Looking at just over 500hp. Street car with occasional strip use.

    Anyone running a Fluidampr with a serpentine set up?

    I contacted March pulleys but haven't heard back yet on a standard size.

    Anyone running a Fluidampr with a serpentine set up?

    I ordered a Fluidamper for my Magnum stroker build and wanted to run the stock serpentine set up. I am having one hell of a time finding a pulley for the crank that isn't underdrive, and I am wondering if the offset of the Fluidamper will cause problems with the serpentine pulleys lining up...

    I had a buzz when I ordered it. Fluidampr 720301

    I am building up a Magnum stroker for my Demon. I am looking to keep the serpentine set up. I ordered Fluidampr 720301: Harmonic Damper Mopar 318/340/360 Small Block Engines | JEGS the other night for my build. It arrived in the mail yesterday and I had a question... can I use this damper...

    Biscuit style mounts...

    Great ideas! I didn't know they made the strap either. Sure beats the chain on there now.

    Biscuit style mounts...

    Dropping a 408 Magnum in the Demon. I have the v8 K member biscuit style mounts in the car. Looks like the 340 beat the crap out of the old mounts, and I am really afraid of the 408 doing much worse to them. I was thinking about those spool mounts, but it looks like I'd need to change k...

    Door jamb pillars

    Have a 71 Demon that has a small rust hole on the lower jamb, right above the outer rocker panel. Anyone ever replaced the door jamb pillar? How hard was it to do?

    408 Build Thread

    Thanks! I'm not a max effort guy myself, I'm more of a "since I am already there" kinda guy myself. Sounds like the kinks are getting worked out and you are having fun with it. That is a good feeling I am sure. I have to remind myselfmy build is a hobby driven one sometimes, and it is...

    408 Build Thread

    Very nice thread Brian. Building a VERY similar motor (Magnum based 408) same cam, but with the Eddy Magnum heads and fuel injection (MSD). Compression will most likely be 10.5-11.0 area due to some block squaring/decking. The stroker kit is a balanced Scat but it was designed for an LA, so...

    Balancer with pulley, 408 internal balance

    I will check. I can have the parts store pull both for me to compare how far out the pulley is. It may work!

    Cant cool my 5.9 magnum. Radiator size or add one thing else?

    Yes sir, actually a tad thicker, but aluminum.

    Cant cool my 5.9 magnum. Radiator size or add one thing else?

    I'm about to drop a 500 HP magnum into an A Body... Going to run a viscous fan and 2 core alum radiator with shroud in South Texas. I'm nervous now.

    Balancer with pulley, 408 internal balance

    Searched but no luck. Internally balanced 408 Magnum. Want to keep serpentine assembly from the 2002 truck but I'm not sure which balancer and pulley to get? I've found the balancers, but not the serpentine pulleys. I'd use the pulley off the non balanced one I have (5.9 Magnum), but it's...

    1970's Green Goodness

    1971 Demon, came with Trans Am bucket seats with really crappy black seat covers. Car was originally bench, but previous owner wanted a floor shifter. I've since located and purchased the correct buckets and seat brackets, and decided to pull the cover off the rear seat, and I was shocked at...

    Magnum 408 cam

    Hey Rumblefish360! The voice of reason.... Agreed. I'm hoping to recoup a little of the money with the sale of the 340 in the car now. I weighed the cost of the overbore, and the cost of the kit against buying bearings, rod bolts, good rings, resizing rods if needed, and missing a weighted...

    LA Stroker kit in Magnum Block?

    That's what I am looking for.... I want to go zero balance on balancer, flexplate and torque converter while keeping the serpentine set up. Bringing the displacement up to 408 is a plus, comes with bearings and rod bolts and rings too that I was going to have to buy anyway... Along with a...

    LA Stroker kit in Magnum Block?

    Well, my search for answers via Google didn't turn up the right info. I am in the process of having a Magnum truck motor rebuilt (2001), and came across one hell of a deal on this stroker kit for LA 360's locally. https://m.summitracing.com/parts/sca-1-98113bi It's balanced internally, which...

    Magnum balance....

    OK, now that's AWESOME! Part of me mourns at a cost free alternative to pitching a stroker kit to the wife, but 5.9 will have to do
