    Gen3 hemi tkx swap

    2015 Mustang rear hub with a Scat Pack 14.2 rotor and 4 piston Brembo. The beginning of the idea was something with a tone ring built in. No idea if it will come to fruition.

    Rewiring my EFI Magnum - 1970 Dart Swinger

    Nice! So nice when you get to see the fruit of your labor. And really cool that you got cruise to work. I remember putting cruise on a '78 Volare and struggling to get it to work when I discovered the exact same issue; brake light switch needed to be adjusted.

    Hemi Swapping a perfectly good 70 Duster

    I went and looked up my cost, $255 for the cam and $74.08 for the springs. The stupid thing was that it cost me $91.95 for shipping! That was when shipping costs were stupid high, I should have waited. I saw too many people trying to find parts and figured I would rather have them on the...

    Gen3 hemi tkx swap

    I see some similarities. Yours looks much more svelte and cleaner though. I assuming you are running a narrow front wheel? I looked at dropping mine 1" but the tie rod end started being an issue again even though I would run 18" wheels with mine.

    Is it ok to copy a W5 head and make it better or are we just mad at Speedmaster

    If things go too far, I think they will be out of business before all the hand porters die. Your port might be better but I bet it will never be the cheap option. And based on Speedmaster's success, seems people care more about cheap. :D To be clear, I'm not a fan of the option, just...

    Is it ok to copy a W5 head and make it better or are we just mad at Speedmaster

    With the advent of 3D scanners, it is even easier to copy parts. Who needs to spend the time and money to build their own CNC port tooling when you can buy a single head and us a 3D scanner to duplicate the port. Brent and @pittsburghracer become unnecessary at that point. That might be...

    Hemi Swapping a perfectly good 70 Duster

    You are running the cam without a tune? I've seen good numbers with that cam but it was after a tune. Best part is the price, at one point they were less $100 for a 6.4 M6 cam. I think mine was $212 a year or more ago.

    If we didn't have copying and improving products we would still be stuck with Model A's. The whole reason cars have gotten better is because someone said to themselves "I could do that better" and thus pushed the envelope. It's why we have different motors, transmissions, brakes, etc. But...

    Hemi Swapping a perfectly good 70 Duster

    Personally, I think the only thing wrong with a 5.7 is the cam. It's better than a stock 5.9, but it is similar in that it just kind of falls on it's face at about 5200 rpm. Put a mild cam in it and it no longer feels like a truck motor. That's why mine is getting a 6.4 M6 cam.

    1973 Dart Swinger Pro Touring Build

    Better but still hard to read. Seems like the website sometimes will allow you to click on the picture and it will expand, but it isn't working for me on this one. So the pictures of the board are all pretty small. If not typing it out again, maybe a close up of each section while square to...

    Very nice, I like it! Can't read your board though. Could you put it all in a post?

    Headers vs. Manifolds

    Looks like a less than ideal solution with Hedman shorties. Hedman Shorty headers for a B body on an A body Looks like long tubes fit better, but no mention of manufacture. B-Body Headers In An A-Body
