    Horsepower guesstimation?

    Don't focus too much on the numbers. 318's don't usually make a ton of power but they're still great engines. I used to have one in my Dart and it while it doesn't make as much power as my 340, it could still roast tires and was fun to drive. Sounded pretty good too. Around 200hp might be...

    why do people help make old cars look bad

    The owner was there promoting his brand, hence the big decal. Usually, I don't like murdered-out cars. This Dart looks really mean though. The stance is just right, sounds great, and it actually stands out in a crowd because of how well it's done. But I get what you're saying and for the vast...

    Slant six builders...Lets talk Cams

    Smith Bros. made a set of custom length chromoly pushrods for my 340. Top notch pushrods and the person I talked to was pretty knowledgeable. If you don't know what length you need the best thing to do is to get an adjustable pushrod and measure for the correct length. Valvetrain geometry isn't...

    why do people help make old cars look bad

    I've seen that Dart in person and it's absolutely gorgeous. It's an example of black paint done right. Having a black grille and bumpers definitely fits the car well and doesn't look like trash.

    It's NOT the same

    Needs a roll cage and stuff to be legal for racing. MSRP on a Demon is about $85k. Some options (like the rear and passenger seats) are $1. But that's a car that'll run mid 9's stock, will lift the front tires off the ground, and has a warranty. $85k is a lot but I bet that car would be a ton...

    A-833 shifting issue with hurst mechanism

    If it gives you any idea, this was way too sloppy to work in the car: I know it's not the best video but it's the only one I've got. Cheap shifter rods were a pain too. Took a lot of effort to get those to work right. To check the alignment you'll need a bolt that fits tight through the...

    It's NOT the same

    Old cars are just more interesting and fun. They've all got stories and quirks that modern cars just don't have. They sound different, feel different, and it's a different experience driving them. But modern cars have their place. Took my 2014 Camaro to Dallas on Thursday (probably 600 miles...

    A-833 shifting issue with hurst mechanism

    Check the alignment. If it's not adjusted right then it'll bind and get stuck in gear or refuse to go into gear. Happened to me when I went from a 3 speed to a 4 speed. Took a while to get it shifting right. There's an alignment hole on the shifter mechanism. Put a pin/bolt through it and...

    Chasing down a tapping noise

    With a lot of side play on the rockers I'd check for pushrods hitting the head.

    Format Problem

    Glad it's fixed. Computers are weird like that sometimes.

    Non-Mopar project I've been working on.

    Chevy really nailed the styling on the C3's. My grandpa had a '76 Corvette but he sold it and kept the Dart instead. Cool car! The purple looks awesome.
