not to drag up old threads but what did your buddy use for plug wires? they look of the napa belden brand

the setup you posted is not from a pre 1996 dakota, its from a 1996+ dakota or ram/ram van, I think I have one if your interested but I'm in canada

my car runs a 904 automatic, 1993 dodge dakota v8 manifold (other years work just fine) the part where it bolts onto the head is plained down quite abit, 1/4" comes to mind but I forget, 2 washer shims under biscuit engine mount on drivers side and nothing hits with factory power steering

from what I know about draw through turbo's 1) reed valves are to allow air/fuel mixture a quicker route to intake 2) as number 1 says if you mount the carb elsewhere you would have to pump the crap out of the car to get it to start, ever started a crossram car when it hasen't been running...

no sense it building an engine you don't really want to end up with though, open the 360 up, check bearings, rings and the important stuff have the heads checked and button it back up and run it like that if all looks well

is the 360 a good running engine? did you hear it run? if so drop it in and run it, buy the 340 and save it until you have abit more of a budget to build it (sit in in the corner) that way you have the 340 to build and still can drive the car with the 360

if you have new vehicle replacement its an automatic write off after a certain cost to fix; every insurance company offers this coverage and its almost stupid not to have it, this car was wrote off because of that I'm sure as its not even hit that hard

insurance don't repair brand new cars if you have the proper coverage; new vehicle replacement, would you want your brand new smashed car back or a brand new one like it? that car is quite fixable but your correct that most insurance companies total the car because the air bags cost more then...

a person who invests 30K on a car doesn't just shove the clutch pedal to the floor and leave it there as a decoration, they would also clean and paint the trunk body color, and the wiring wouldn't have wire joiners on it $7000 would have been more real of a price

it sold for $7000 in the auction link, far below the 19,000 he was asking on craigslist

its not an error, he replyed to a member here saying the car was a 1965 titled as a 1967, its illegal to sell something like that

because this guy is selling something that isn't legal, a 1967 title for a 1963-65 car that is a mix matched parts

not a 67 they stopped putting torsion bar hood springs on in 1966, looks like he is trying to flip the car for major profit; I know some beautiful looking cars for $20K

why not just bend the top of the pedal assembly a little outward to allow the pedal to pull the cable further out of the firewall before it hits the stop

thats a really horrible spot for a fuel tank, right in line with the passenger side rear tire; most people put in a fuel cell because the engine isn't stock, meaning your probably going to be spinning it and have about 80 percent better chance of having a tire shread the wheel wheel
