    15 inch wheels on early A body pictures

    The steel wheels are 15x5 with 185/65R15 up front and 15x7 with 255/60R15s out back. The American Racing Torq-Thrust Originals on the front are 15x5 with 165R15s. The rear wheel/tire combo to go with the TTOs are 15x8s, and not 100% on tire size, but am leaning towards 29” pie crust slicks.

    Cylinder head discussion 340 with stock above deck pistons

    The heads will definitely be an improvement. BUT, for half the price of Eddy heads, you could put more gear out back and make some suspension upgrades and gain more than the heads will get you. If you’re gonna go in the motor, put a better cam in it. I’m not sure if anybody asked, but what’s...

    Cylinder head discussion 340 with stock above deck pistons

    So my ‘64 Dart had a ‘71 360 with stock small valve ‘587 heads, H116CP pistons (9.2:1cr actual), a CompCams 268AH10 cam, Eddy LD340 intake, StreetDemon 750, exhaust manifolds, close ratio 4spd and a 3.55fd rear gear, and it ran a 13.50et. Your setup should run better than 13.8s off the bottle...

    Cylinder head discussion 340 with stock above deck pistons

    I’d pull the spray and work on tuning or driving, that combo should run mid to low 13s without the bottle and mid 12s with the 100shot.

    What year and model Chrysler is this?

    And another thing that is now highly contested: The ‘86 Omni GLHS, did not stand for GLH- S’more. The “S” stood for Shelby. All the early paperwork and documentation listed it as a GLH-Shelby. The “s’more” thing was actually from a small article a journalist wrote about the ‘86 GLHS suggesting...

    What year and model Chrysler is this?

    Not entirely correct. So ‘83.5-‘84 Shelby Chargers and ‘84 GLH were 4x100 with vented front discs and 200mm rear drums. ‘84 Daytona TurboZ had 4x100 vented front discs and 220mm rear drums. Starting in ‘85, with all GLH(turbo and non turbo), Shelby Chargers and Turbo Zs, we’re 5x100 vented discs...

    Not a slant. 1947 boat Engine

    If it’s been sitting a long time, I would about guarantee that it has valves stuck open. Very common on old flathead Mopars that are left to sit. Easiest way to fix that is to pull the head, spin the engine over, tap stuck valves down gently with a rubber hammer. A little Marvel down the valve...

    387” W2 Stroker, What should I upgrade next?

    An 11sec car often will feel like a 12sec with an automatic, and likewise an 11sec stick car will feel like it might run 10s. The violence of a stick shift always seems to make the car feel faster than it is.
