    My 'new' engine/trans

    I wish I could take that to the local 7/11.

    speedmaster stuff pulled from Summit racing shelves

    There's another possibility to keep in mind here.... It could be that Speedmaster is only buying the offending parts from the same people that the 'original' seller/designer/manufacturer is buying them from.... Those cnc tool paths are awfully similar

    speedmaster stuff pulled from Summit racing shelves

    Maybe I misunderstood the situation, but let's not kid ourselves.... Summit was willing to make money on sellout counterfeit ****, until their name got tied to sellout counterfeit ****. **** China and **** Summit for dealing with them. The only thing that changed here is that someone got...

    Poll: Do traction bars help out Mopar leaf springs or not

    Not as much as air shocks. It's easier to go fast when you're always going down hill.

    Man the memories. This hurts

    And gun-cleaning patches

    Man the memories. This hurts

    Um, have you priced old concert shirts lately? They're worth HUGE dollars, worn or not. Vintage is in, and I'm going to wager some of that stuff is quite valuable. My former mother in law made a sweet quilt for my brother in law out of his old worn out concert T's. The cool parts (the graphics)...

    Scams are heating up

    They're so damned good at being shitty. If they put that brainpower to something else, we would've cured cancer by now.

    Buy it and make a bunch of money.

    Hot rods coverage of Dodge’s last call Roadkill nights Vegas.

    I was told that leaf spring cars can't go fast. That must be the root cause of his clearly evident suspension issue.

    Hot rods coverage of Dodge’s last call Roadkill nights Vegas.

    They got snow on the track in Vegas? That's a hell of a snowblade on that white car! And he's never going to get things cleared with the front end all in the air like that.

    Building your own headers.

    Tube kit from Summit and the only way to do it is to get in and do it. There are laser cut sbm exhaust flanges on eBay. Not sure what heads you're running.

    I hate the direction racing is heading

    Not sure why someone disagreed but this explanation makes sense. Thanks!

    Wait, what the hell is a buyback?

    Bummer. A couple Mopars taken out

    I just thank God neither car was a rust-free four-door Dart. Those things are impossible to find!

    Bummer. A couple Mopars taken out

    Or get blown away in a tornado or get washed away in a flood or.... Nothing lasts forever

    Bummer. A couple Mopars taken out

    That's what happens when you race rare ****. Edited: as long as it wasn't some one of one, I'm ok with this

    Now that’s a fancy clutch

    Had a similar clutch on a customer's drag bike. Damn thing rattled to beat hell.

    Is there such a thing as a 5000 stall converter that is streetable ?

    The converter housing, hooked to the motor, and the impeller, hooked to the trans, spin at different speeds and use fluid flow between the two to transfer energy/motion from the housing (propeller) to the impeller. Picture a fan blowing on another fan and making the second fan move; this is...

    The new 'Dodge' 6 banger...and its a deusy!

    The recent EPA Supreme Court ruling may poke holes in most of this thread. Study it. Then make friends with a lawyer type and start asking about class action administration suits.

    Bleach for a burnout is a terrible idea. Bleach is highly corrosive to steel.

    Can't figure out this damned oil leak

    I definitely remember that!! Saw several at Pick N Pull and U Wrench It that had motors like that. Later in life I realized they were probably dead due to plugged oil pickup screens.

    My race season is over. Dusters wrecked

    I'm glad he's ok. That said, you racers will do anything to remove some weight. I think it looks kinda cool, and I would just leave it. I'm not really understanding what is keeping you from racing?

    Rotating mass and inertia

    Free revving a 360 versus a 340 or 318 will illustrate a lot. I'm putting an aluminum flywheel behind my 360 and am debating using an aluminum pressure plate as well. I've always enjoyed high torque low flywheel motors, so I'm hoping this combo will bear that out

    Can't figure out this damned oil leak

    And that brings up a good point. If you was working on my motor, I'd have faith in it because you have 'commonsense'. If you RTV'd a seal, I reckon it'd be fine. I've seen oil pumps clogged up because guys used a tube of RTV per valve cover gasket. Common sense...ain't common.

    Can't figure out this damned oil leak

    The reason i don't recommend it is because I've seen more than one seal that spooged themselves out of the bore because the RTV shears and the sealant reduced the friction holding it in place (ultra RTV is superior, but so many people use the rubber crap that doesn't stick to anything). Most...

    Can't figure out this damned oil leak

    Look at the ribs on the outside of it. They're usually not symmetrical, and the short leg of the rib faces the oil. 99.9% of the time, the letters on the seal can be read from the dry/out side.

    Body in white Challenger?

    No more info, but expect parts demand to skyrocket at that price. Every wrecked Challenger in the hood is going to get a refresh and probably end up back on the street.

    So….more header talk….this had me scratching my head

    A lot of old school advice is going out the window as computers are unboxing some of the magic. It makes sense to me based on what little I know about it.
