Assuming you have a shop or somewhere to work, and a vice, simply go to your local metal supply and purchase two feet of 3/4" DOM tube 1/8" wall. Then purchase a 9/16" right hand tap, and a 9/16" left hand tap and make your own; whatever length you need. You'll spend about $ 50.00 or so, but you...

Appreciate the feedback. Looks fairly well made.

Looks like a Comp Engineering anti roll bar under there. I've thought of installing one but have never talked to anyone that had one. Do you like it and what has your experience been with it; track and street?

Isn't that the absolute truth; and there is no off button.

Uhhhhhhh yes. That is what was designed into the leaf system. By increasing the loading on the left front you are proportionally increasing the loading on the right rear, which tends to cancel the torque reaction of the rear axle, as it attempts to bury the left rear and LIFT the right rear...

You level the car by simply cranking up the driver's side torsion bar.

Exactly correct.

Don't know anything about your fabrication skills, but since you're planning to build a gasser style Dart I assume you have some. About a hundred years or so ago, I built a pair of 15 X 8 reverse chrome wheels with the small bolt circle. I did it simply because there was no such thing at the...

Absolutely incredible.

You're right, of course, in that a 340 cannot achieve 371 cubic inches by an overbore, but increasing the stroke from 3.31" (stock stroke) to 3.58" (360 stock stroke) yields 371 c.i. with only a .020" overbore.

I know you wouldn't give out misleading information intentionally, Ross. The question was not designed to cause distress in any way. The real reason for my interest is as follows: Back when Hoover was talking about building a "poor man's stroker motor" as he called it, one of his...

Yes, I understand all that, but pistons and rods don't change the stroke of the engine. Only a change in center to center distance between the mains and rod journals can do that.

I had a question about the engine in the Dart. If, as the article in Mopar Action states, the block that that engine is built from is, in fact, a 360, how is that a "stroked" engine? I would see it as simply a .060" over bored 360 with a stock stroke crank. Is that not true ?
