yea Headers will be the next issue i face. I dont want to spend a ton of cash on nice headers just to have to dent them up. I dont have an issue purchasing the Dougs or TTIs as long as they fit and i dont have to beat on them. I am running power steering in a 72 scamp. Any thoughts as to which...

Got the Flex Plate off of the Magnum that I bought. I made sure of that when I started this process. I just wanted to make sure that my continued thought was correct on VBELT set up with my plan at this time.

Yup good to go on the motor mount brackets. Good to know that my thoughts were correct. I am gathering parts right now. Ne EQ heads are not a performance head but for a mainly stock 5.9 with a cam upgrade he said that the new EQs with some extra work on their end (polish and porting), that it...

Hello all Newbie here, doing a lot of reading and I think from what I have read on this site, as well as seen in multiple videos I am ok but want to ask the question anyway. I have a 72 Scamp 318/904 that I am looking to do the Magnum swap in. Already have the Magnum stripped down in the...

thats what i figured but i wanted to ask the pros on here first thanks

Hello all Looking for insight Plan is to do a 5.9 magnum swap to carb using Edelbrok air gap 7577 intake manifold Holley 670 street avenger carb. Any hood clearance issues? Looking to put into a 72 scamp and not looking to modify the stock look. Thoughts?

Thanks for all the info. Will be back in the shop tomorrow giving it a shot!!!

Hi all My radiator has a small leak. By small I mean barely leaks, but it bothers me enough and thought I would look to take to to a reputable shop to take a look at it. Fluid needed to be flushed anyway. So I drained the radiator, disconnected the hoses and set out to do the trans lines...

I have a decent amount of funds set aside for everything. i dont want to go overboard in one area and not have my fund for other areas of the car. I have never had or built a motor, but my thought is this, I would like to build a motor or have it built for me than less than lets say a Blueprint...

Very true. Novice at that too. new computers, EFI additional wiring would all be something very new to me. However knowing how sometimes i get picky about things, even if i found a 5.9 magnum, i think i would have it tore apart. Not knowing the history on the motor i would want it inspected...

Do you need a mounting bracket for this? i thought i read where you mentioned this in another thread and there was something else that needed to be fabricated. OD is not out of the realm yet. Just making the hard choice on the 318 or the 360. I really need to talk to a builder LOL

Correct still in the planning stage that is for sure. I have at least a year before I make up my mind. All great suggestions and that is why i really love this forum. I will not be building this on my own so I will soon the on the hunt for a shop or work the a guy i know who build a lot of...

Wow I think i have read this 3 or 4 times. It is a lot to digest especially for me being a novice. I need to read it several more time. Few questions At the beginning you mentioned the 360 paired with the A998. Then at the end in the recap you mentioned using the 904. So whats the real...

my tab keeps going up LOL not going to be a race car by any means but I will definitely keep it in mind. A lot will come down to finding a shop that does goes work and what we come up with.

Learning lots. I do need to do some research on what I want to do with the rear end. The 7 1/4 rear right now isnt going to make it so that is for sure coming out. I would like to get a 8 3/4 rear for an A body but they are a tad pricy. My thought was to do it all at once while the car is down...
