Look through an Auveco catalog and see if they don't have something close. Auveco supplies hardware for most of the resellers. https://www.auveco.com/complete-auveco-catalog-catalogs?quantity=1&custcol_avp_itemcat=36

8 days away!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Didn't mean they sound like 6 cylinders....I meant they don't sound as good as old V8's if you compare both with loud exhaust. They just have a weird sound when they have loud exhaust.

If you haven't already asked the seller about the driveshaft, look in the car to see if it is laying inside. If it isn't, the best thing to do is just measure. One thing to check, is to see if the 8 3/4 has a big or small yoke on the pinion. If it has the big one, and yours is the small one on...

Link to Moparts.com Small block for sale section. Scroll down to the bottom and there was a 340/727 combo listed today for $1500....and it's in CA. Says ran when pulled, but tired...

The Gen 3 Hemis don't sound much better than the V6 cars when they have loud exhaust. I hear them on the interstate about a half mile from my house making noise at night. They have a distinct sound and it ain't pleasant! That was the main reason I ditched the 5.7 Hemi swap for my 70 Duster and...

$75.00 ain't bad, even with the little rust place and the Harley floor mats! :rofl:

Wow, what nice ladies. One was kind enough to give directions and her friend was directing traffic to keep someone from hitting the poor lost gentleman's truck. Hard to find gals like that anymore! :lol:

I'd love to have an Orange Cougar Eliminator. A guy I went to high school with had one. It had a 428 Cobra Jet engine....not sure if it came in it or not.

He said in post #4 that the engine has hollow push rods. I'd say his shafts and rockers are just fine because they were oiling thru the push rods. It will obviously have the AMC style lifters. It's been decades since Mopar and AMC lifters were different. They all have the hole in the plunger now.

Changing it in the car is no big deal if needed. Just jack the front end up as high as you can get it so the gear lube runs away from the pinion seal. I always mark the nut and the pinion at the same spot, and then line those marks back up when I put it back together. Never had one leak or whine...

Yeah, just do them one at a time and it will be fine. :thumbsup:

That will look great. If you want to show out a little, tape off the backside of the tailgate letters and do them in white! :poke: :eek:

Looking good! I remember seeing that car on Craigslist several years ago. If you haven't already done so, put a new pinion seal in it before you fill the rearend with gear lube. The last one I swapped in while doing basically the same thing you are went to dripping after it had been retired for...

Are you going with full white panel with white letters, or orange letters in the white? I can't decide which would be a bigger pain in the *** to tape.....the insides of the letters, or the outsides!?!? I think I'll go with inside...lol. Fine line tape and then tape the rest to that.

While you have the shafts out swapping them, check the bottoms to see if they are worn. They really shouldn't be since they were getting oil. Unless the bottoms of the shafts and rockers are worn, I'd just put them back in right and send em! If your intake is still off, be sure to put thread...

It couldn't hurt it to take em off and swap just the shafts side to side. Lay some clean paper towels down to lay them on when you take them off. Lay them like they are oriented on the motor now, remove the bolts from the shafts and gently slide the shafts out while leaving the rocker arms...

I watch Bryan/Paint Society all the time! I have picked up some good tips from him since I have been painting more and more stuff of mine. I have a purple HF gun that I use pretty regularly, and 2 new in the box to replace it if it ever takes a sheite. Works really good for single stage. I have...

Happy Birthday young lady! If she's like all of our dogs have been, it's her house.....y'all are just livin in it! :thumbsup:

Doc....congrats on the great score! Here's an idea about sealing up things that might rust if stored long term. My wife has a kitchen do dad called a Food Saver. It's a vacuum pack thingy that you put food in thick plastic bags and it sucks the air out of the bag and then heat seals the end so...

Trying to remember who all is in Iowa....how about @burdar ?

@toolmanmike Where you is? You make it ok?

My wife and I went out to eat last weekend with @RAT ROD AL & Theresa, and one of those butt ugly things pulled into the parking lot right outside our window. I told Al I was thinking about sueing Tesla for copyright infringement because it looks like that thing I drew on the wall with a crayon...

Can you just mark the bottom of the hood around the air cleaner, then take it off, flip it over, heat and hammer the clearance into it? All the rules make it sound like OEM Gold judging at The Mopar Nationals instead of beat n bang racing.....lol.

Does the 66 Valiant need a full floor pan or just patches? Auto Body Specialties has all 4 patches for early A bodies such as the 66 Valiant. Several years ago, someone on here used an AMD full floor pan from a 67 - 76 A body in an early A, but it took a lot of work to get the middle of the pan...

Nope, no ticking. Sometimes, the ticking noise with retrofit hydro rollers comes from worn lifter bores in older engines. I had my lifter bores bushed, so the whole shebang is new and working together. The bushings had .040 oil holes drilled in them before install, and that concerned me after...

Glad you're ok. Hang in there and get well soon. 8 stents sound like a lot, but a few may be doubled up or overlapping in the same artery.

It ain't cheating until you get caught!! :rofl:

Your transmission crossmember and mount will work right back, same bolts and all. One thing you need to check on the proposed 727, is to see if it has the mount on the bottom of the tailshaft housing for shift linkage for console floor shift cars. If your car is a column shift, no need to even...

I think the Howards lifters are re-boxed Morel's.......which is a good thing! :thumbsup:
