Would consider selling '68 Cuda fastback, Calif. car, all rebuilt, to much to list here. Let me know if interested and I can go over it with you. '68 340 (non-numbers matching), 727, 8.34, six pak, etc..........

Just my 2-cents. On my 68 Fastback with 340/6 Pak, the AAR six-pak hood/scoop looks just right, and blows a lot of air thru the engine compartment.
Hemi scoops are for hemi's, why pretend?
Hello from OC. Always great to have another Mopar cruising our streets and on the board. Mopars Unlimited is my club affiliation, we are local and we meet monthly in La Habra, it's a fun grooup.
Ever get over to the Whittwood Show on Fridays? I make it every once in a while, it would be...
Have used their covers for years, also in the CA sun like OCD. They fit nice but should be tied underneath, from wind and theft. The grey one I have been using had a five year warrenty, started wearing out after four years in the sun and they sent me a new one when I produced my sales receipt...
Ken, that is great news. Must be a real load off your back -- and I give you a lot of credit, you never seemed to let it get you down, the smile is always there. Get back on the Dart -- great motivation for me to get back on mine.
Just got my newsletter in the mail, tell Judy Great Job...
I have the mounted spare tire that came out of the bottom of my trunk on my '68 cuda. Holds air, good shape, it is the small bolt pattern, tire is P185/75-14.

Ken, missed you Sunday when we were at the GNR Show. Who won? I met the guy who owned the 'POSSESSED" red roadster over in the Ron Mangus booth. That was a nice car and Ron did a nice job on the interior. Where are your pics?
Ron
Great pics. Thanks for your clubs support, hope you sold lots of raffle tickets. Wheels on the green duster are Budniks. What did you think of the Dart replica getting BIShow? A Bodies Rule!

OK, I was born in '45, grew up street racing from Whittier Blvd., to Downey to the Valley in So Cal. It was a time when a raised '55 chevy straight axle with mechanical injection was not even uncommon to see on the street. And on weekends we had at least four or five nearby drag strips to...
Thanks, it sounds like the 22" aluminum 3-core is what your saying. Looking at an aluminum Mark 7 Radiator, a little pricey but I like the original-type look. These have duel 1.25-inch cores and they claim it will cool up to 750 hp? On a 100-degree day. I wonder.

Since I went with the 6-pack scoop on my small block 6-brl. cuda I really like it. Put a hemi scoop on the hemi dart, that's the look. I think the name answers the question, hemi scoops over hemi motors.
Ready to buy a radiator for my '68 hemi dart, about 620 hp. stick. It would just seem that a 26-inch would cool better than a 22-inch. If true, how dificult would it be to open up the core support to fit the 26-inch. Is this a common way to go? Or maybe get a 26-inch core support (say B...
My 2-cents. On my '68 Cuda 340 727, just changed over from 3.23's to 3.55's. I noticed very little diference driving around town. On the freeway at about 60 mph I'm revving about 500 rpm more. My opinion, keep the 3.23's if you do much highway driving.
Had the same problem in my '68 340-S. Put a shroud on it first. Next what kind of pump? Some work well on the street and others don't. Make sure the fuel matches the compression and timing is correct. I am now at 180 and that is with a 6-pack hood scoop.
Changing the diff. on my 8.75, old one has a larger pinion flange with the course splines, new one (replacement) flange is a fine thread with the smaller flange. Would like to keep the larger flange size and was wondering if anyone makes the larger flange with fine threads? Thx, Ron.
Got to feel bad for the workers. But I wonder if it is a little greed to. They support their union bosses who won't budge on wages and benefits until 2011. Who will be left standing then? How good is your union rep if you don't have a job?
Just voted at 87. Looks like it will take another 150 votes or so in less than 24 hours. Great music, even in California we appreciate it. Good Luck. Ron
For my '68 S Cuda 340 rebuild I went with Jerry's Performance Engines in Garden Grove, [email protected]. Did a great job, cost was reasonable and got it back on time. Jerry is a one-man shop and does it right. Ron
Ken......You know Mopar Unlimited So. Cal. is down for seven slots and we will try to raise a couple more. Wanted to say thanks for the hospitality and invite to the drive-in last night. It was a great group of folks and cars. A lot of fun -- not to mention the memories of (many) days gone by. Ron
You guys keep up the good work - for a great cause. How is the dart coming? I am still looking for a paint shop, I guess you are too, have you heard of SS Paint & Body in El Segundo?
Looking forward to the John Force Show. Do I have to reserve a spot for the 340 S Cuda? It's a driver...
