Just a vent. They don’t need to be hooked to anything. Pretty much any other breather needs a baffle.

I used these, the way they are made doesn’t require a baffle.

Hmm :realcrazy:

Having one of these cars myself I would highly recommend putting the master cylinder on rubber lines so it can be easily flipped out of the way.

It’s alive and it’s got stupid power!

Beautiful!!

Heading the correct direction! Also came across this video, my dart makes a cameo in here beating up on a late 70’s Camaro at the 47 sec mark.

Been a rough week. Spent a week watching someone close die over Christmas weekend and then caught Covid this weekend. Wife banned me from roaming the house so I pretty much finished the hemi for therapy reasons over the last 2 days (not really feeling sick after the first 3 days of this...

These transmissions are old and abused. It may have already been damaged but not visible. I always have all the parts mag checked for cracks.

Big Torque and traction will kill them, this one was behind my 500ci hemi and even had a Hyatt built soft loc. it was fun for a few passes.. I...

External oil supply to the pump. Typically used high rpm applications or for stroker kits if they interfere with the internal pickup. Very common on Hemi’s. I run 2 supply lines on mine. They are hooked to a swinging pickup in the pan that will follow the oil movement on acceleration and...

One thing I should add to the thread as I did some intake work that really helped out the drivability and distribution on the bigger cube engine. Idle quality greatly improved. I believe it’s faster as well but I changed a few things so I can’t quantify a number.
