Picked up a Dart wagon on Monday. Been wanted a Valiant or Dart wagon for years. They are hard to find. This one is factory 273 with factory air! Runs and drives great, and has interior that is awesome and doesn't even need anything but cleaned up. Planning on doing a pro street type deal, and...

I have a housing that appears to be out of an early B body. Its 44 inches from spring pad center to spring pad center, and about 54 1/4 inches from flange to flange with the backing plates gone. Looking to use this under my Gremlin bracket car, and have a question. Are the axle bearings the...

Im not saying my way is the only way, but if you want something that works 100%, doesnt harm your paint, and is quick and easy then here you go. 1. Wax the rear lower quarters good. Make sure they are good and clean before waxing. You will only need ot do this occasionally. 2. After buffing...

a 360. Think I may have found one. Milodon 30985 part number. Was looking for something other than a 5 qt. That one is 8 qt

Who makes a deep pan for a LA small block that is rear sump? I know these are for trucks and vans, but I am putting the engine in an AMC Gremlin and it is a front steer system. Thanks

Comp solid roller cam with .622/.589 lift and 258/258 duration at .50 Run 1.5 ratio Harland Sharps 11.5 to 1 compression using Icon flat top pistons at zero deck. Gasket matched RPM Air Gap intake and 750 cfm E85 carb

It will be race only, and will have a cage, frame connectors, Cal Tracs, and a 10inch tire. I will spend some money on the body/suspension. The part where the budget comes in is in the drive train. It would cost me pretty good to find an AMC engine and trans, then build it all. I have zero AMC...

I have a set of Brains RHS heads on my 408. I run low 6.80's in the summer heat, and mid to high 6.70's in decent air. Run it on E85. Did I mention that it's hooked to a powerglide transmission? If I had a 3 speed in it, it would go low 6.60's no problem. Have seen the difference in the glide...

Dont ask me how, but I have ended up with a decent 74 Gremlin. For $200 I wasn't just going to leave it there for someone else to buy. Want to make a little bracket car out of it. Something that could be built on a budget and go low 7's in the 1/8th. At first I was thinking that I would pick up...

I run VR1 20w50 with Lucas break in additive.

Got no idea on the spring pressure. I was running 20 thousandths lash on the intake and exhaust. Mine were the 8043 lifters, and if you do a google search, there are some other guys who have had issues with the axles being pushed into the body.

Wanted to see what some of you are running for solid roller lifters. Application is a stroked LA small block. I was running a set of Comp solid rollers. Cant remember the part number. Ran them for two full race seasons, and started noticing that I was having to tighten up the valve lash a...

It may not be. I've just always heard that it was illegal to do for safety reasons.

I'm not trying to be the rules police here, because in all honesty nobody will probably ever know you are doing it, but it's not legal to use a 4 wheel line lock system to stage the car. At least that's my understanding. Supposedly, can only use it on the fronts for staging. Just sharing in...
