I can’t believe no one replied to your post so hopefully not to late?? I did this swap a couple of years ago. It was very easy, just removing the old drum, hub, backing plate and put the new stuff on; bleed the system and your Good To Go. It was one of the best upgrades I have done. I...

I have them on a SB with 727 and a mini starter with column shift

I have dougs on my 71 dart with a 727 no issues. I would buy them again.

I am running an Autometer and I needed to add the sender on the transmission. It replaces the mechaninal cable. I really like it, easy to calibrate and easy to change if you change gears or tire size. I hope the link works http://www.autometer.com/cat_accessoriesdetail.aspx?vid=114

On the darker side

a 14 foot(14" deck) trailer would be able to tranport it all the wheels would be on the trailer. I used a 14 foot to haul a 71 challenger. The back of the car was over the back of the trailer but as long as the wheels are on the deck

I had a similar issue recently; I had the Mopar Performance cast aluminum valve covers. When I put them on and tightened them up I found a leak after the first drive. After inspection the valve cover edge tightened up against the rear intake runners and did not allow the gasket to seal. I...

well if he had a long run to build up some speed, it may then come down the hill in reverse after it fails

What's that...? You don't have a big pickup to tow your 6,000 lb. Gooseneck trailer......fear not!!! A little careful, well thought out engineering can solve your problem... Class lll Hitch Install... (patent pending..) Wouldn't you love to see how the trip went...? Good chance he ended up...

I am planning on swapping my 318 for my new 360 stroker this weekend in my 71 dart. Is there anything that I should be aware of? I plan to use the same motor mounts, how much does the drivers mount need to be shimmed for it to work? Will all of the pulleys work? The Stroker was internally...

I recently bought a 360 stroker kit from Hughes and they informed me of some recent quality issues that they had seen with the eagle cast cranks and that they had been breaking, and recommended using as scat crank. So you may be correct minella about it being a material problem.

Did you adjust the brake shoes up on the drums arfter the rebuild, they may have to far to go in one push of the pedal

Yeah I thought about getting stuff delivered to Minot and just driving down and claiming it at the boarder, but it would be a least a 5 hour trip for me and that’s just the driving. I hate when you think you are getting a good buy but the Brokerage fees from the shipping company...

I am looking a making an order from summit racing for headers, intake, carb, valve covers, and some other stuff. My issues the brokerage fees that UPS charges for customs. Has anyone been able to get around paying these fees. I had heard that you can ask to self broker the shipment, to...

With the electric Speedo you will have to get the hall effect sending unit for the transmission. But calibrations is a easy as putting the speedo in cal mode and then driving like 2 miles and it its set. It is nice if you change tire size or gear ratios.
