Joined in 64 to avoid getting drafted into the Army where it was a sure thing to get handed a rifle and sent to Vietnam. Navy sent me there without a rifle. Served up river a while on LST 821, USS Harnett County supporting riverine patrol craft, PBR's. Long story short, I did 12 years...

it's me....

oops, you are right, I copied and pasted the wrong number Try this.... p04761035ab on blue paper tag which is superceded by r3008101aa or early 90's 3/4 ton truck other number on white tag is tpktk051966776 the rail number will have to wait til daylight and a magnifying glass....

It has been a while since I started, then stopped, dumping all my stuff, and I am wanting to sell my never installed non-lockup A518. p3690426 is what the blue tag on the housing says but when I enter that into Google, it comes up empty. Did Mopar stop making it?

6322, rare to find any of the 6000 series any more...I had just the plastic for one of those, NOS, and got a good price for it...

If anyone here has front drums, and want to upgrade to discs, I am upgrading an F body to the 11 3/4 front rotors, and the caliper adapters that are coming off are available cheap. $20 the pair plus shipping, which is about $12 USPS prepaid priority mail box. These are sliders, not pin...

Aerodynamics is the problem with the dakota. It has none.... I bet the 3.9L would do well in an A body coupe, especially with an OD tranny and 3.2 axle, or a later model low gear set 904 tranny and 2.4 or 2.7 axle.

I did one back in the late 70s.... a 74 swinger, 318-2BBL, no AC, manual steering, power disc brakes, 2.76 rear axle, in stock form. Only car I ever ordered from the factory. I added 340 exhaust manifolds and dual exhausts, a lighter advance spring in the distributor, and got 23 mpg hiway...

Reman shops want a lot, check out ebay....dirty nasty used ones start at about $100, without bellhousings, flywheel, clutch, etc.

The ax15 was only used in jeeps and dakotas. It is way too light for a full size truck. check out the links I provided in an earlier post.

Here are pics, as for body modifications, surely someone has done this before. As you can see, I have bell housing, clutch, pressure plate, throwout bearing, and if I can find it, a shifter....

I can do pics tomorrow, heading out shortly to visit relatives up in southeast Idaho. What part of Texas are you in? I grew up in NE Houston area. Left in 64, tho, and rarely go back for more than a very brief visit. I have learned to like a dry climate, and there is no dry in east Texas....

If you don't have room at the back, run it out the front.... I did that once when putting a 215 CI aluminum v8 from a 63 Buick Special into a Mazda rotary pickup truck. Some older dodge trucks also had a crossover pipe at the front of the engine.

Most small centers bolt on with 3 screws, so most mopar wheels will have the 3 small holes in the center. Cop car rims usually had NO small holes as they used a pop on center hub cab, but of the 3 sets that I have had, a few had the 3 holes as well. The wheels with 5 little holes inbetween the...
