NICE motor and nice numbers. Kurt does GREAT work!!!! I live in Portsmouth and am a member of the TMC. I actually went to high school in Williamsburg (Lafayette). But speaking of Kurt at Magnum Machine; he is currently building me a stroked 440. A 543 using 440 Source stroker kit, Stealth...

I feel your pain. I just had someone compromise my bank/debit card this week. It was ugly, but could have been MUCH worse. I too HATE a thief. You feel violated. Glad it wasn't worse for you and I hope the guilty are caught and held accountable. Hope you can recoupe through insurance/and or...

We meet now at our new sponsor, Hall Dodge In Va Beach. Having a Christmas party Dec 9th at 7:00 pm. We'd love to have you and any/all mopar owners!! More info on the web site. Great talking to you. I've perused this site for years, just never joined/posted until recently. I'm usually on...

I see they rented cars. I wonder if they would rent a '71 hemi cuda. No that would have been fun!!! Matt B.

There's pros and cons to both. Auto for racing consistency. Manual for fun. I love a manual for all the reasons stated, but hate it in stop and go traffic. I'd still rather have a 4 speed in my Barracuda. You also lose more HP in the automatic drivetrain...

That's a great score. I don't think there's anything crazy about taking a road trip for Mopar stuff. I drove from VA to PA for a complete (drum to drum) "A" body 8 3/4 rear end with a 3:91 posi unit. I even made it a weekend deal and made an overnight stay. It was a steal at $400.00 bucks!! Nice...

Thanks. I was looking at your profile and see you are an antiques dealer. I owned and operated an antique shop in Portsmouth for about 5 years. I still have the antiques, but no shop. Small world. Don't know if you are familiar with the Tidewater Mopar Club. I've been a member there for years...

I bet it would take a JUMBO poop bag to clean up after him!! LOL Just think how big a mess it would be if he had an "accident" on your carpet!! Matt B.

If it were my money, I'd be concerned that the seller would start charging me storage or worse, sell the car. Was there a bill of sale and the total amount spelled out?? Whatever you decide, I would definitely put it in writing, have it notarized and mail it registered mail. Be friendly but...

Hey John, Looks like we're from the same neck of the woods!! I went to elementary school in Newport News. That was many moons ago!! You got good taste in cars!! Matt B.

I think I see some "plumbers" crack there!!! Matt B.

Now that there is funny, I don't care who you are!!! Matt B.

What kind/size of carb are you running. Is it mechanical or vacuum advance??. Are you using an electric fuel pump or mechanical. Got good fuel pressure?? Any vacuum leaks?? Stock or aftermarket ignition?? Is your coil putting out good voltage? I'm with checking timing first also. Make sure...

I have a TERRIBLE time with rats in my garage. It seems as soon as I put down Decon, they eat it, die and in short order there's another rat in the garage. I live in the south on a marsh, so it's attractive to rodents. I have found a product called "Shake-Away". It is amazing and works well to...

I have a set of new in the box Yukon Axle shafts for an A body 8 3/4. They have the large bolt pattern and require green bearings. Cost me around 300 bucks. I'll sell them for $200.00 Matt B.
