Pistons are Sealed Power H814CP they are 1.755 compression height will get you to about .050 below deck depending on your block. Most replacements are 1.720. I had a minimum cut on the deck just to get a clean surface and the rest of the compression comes from the magnum heads. I am assuming...

Someone asked how you get to 9.2 compression, .030 overbore, magnum heads, and you can use 318 magnum pistons that have a taller compression height in a LA motor they work fine, as 5.2 and LA engines have basically the same rod You would want to re-balance but that's always a good idea when...

I think I am going to go with Oregon cams, we discussed a few different options including re-grinding my vintage 318 cam that is good shape and made of better material. I like the idea of something not mass produced from who knows where.

Well I am not a big comp fan either I have heard of lots of problems with them, although to be fair it's probably the lifters that cause most problems these days. A lot of this stuff is just not made of good material and is not sufficiently hardened. I have though about going roller but the cost...

I have the Hughes springs and retainers on the magnum heads with .510 lift the seals just clear so I wanted to stay a little less then that, that's why I was thinking around .500 max . My current 318 runs a factory 340 automatic cam which is 210 & 220 @.050 runs good but I doubt the compression...

I haven't heard 3/4 race for a while. I had thought of running something like the 340 manual cam but comp has similar stuff at .050 duration but shorter overall duration in their dual energy series. Another consideration would be I would like to be able to not have to run premium gas so perhaps...

By the specs I bet that would be a good runner probably too much lift for my 1.6 rockers without cutting the guides down.

This will probably open up a can of worms as this subject has been well covered but I am interested in some recommendations that folks have actually built and ran. Here are the particulars. Care is a 73 Dart swinger 3.23 geared 25" tires factory high stall converter in 904 with a TF-2 shift...

I have backing plates and some misc spring hardware no spreader bars or drums

Probably because most of the 70's cars with 8 3/4 rears had 11" rear brakes, I am not sure I have seen one that didn't except for the original A body 8 3/4's that used special narrower brakes and drums

For 2.5 brakes the offset is the same, 11" brakes I used were 11X3. There is no standard Abody rear end with big bolt pattern you either have to re-drill the axles,or get custom axles. I used a station wagon rear and had it narrowed and the axles shortened and re-splined so I could use the...

The 8 3/4 rear from the donor station wagon that I had narrowed and the axles cut and re-splined had 11" brakes so that's what I used. Got to big bolt pattern and correct offset to center the bigger brakes and axles that way.

They will fit fine I had 14 " wheels when I built my rear end

Sorry I was out of town until today, what I have in the shed is 11" backing plates with some hardware. I thought there was some 10" stuff there but it must have been used up somewhere.

I will measure and let you know

I may have a set of 10" backing plates if your interested in pieces. Let me know and I'll verify the size for sure, I ended up going with 11".

No kick down above about 50 MPH wide open throttle shifting in drive is firm but way early. I cant adjust the kick down to be longer or I won't get full throttle. I'll get the governor kit installed and see what I end up with. Looks like I can do it in the car if I drop the cross member.

Thanks for the good information I had a feeling it probably was going to need a governor change since it behaved that way after the gear change before the upgrade to the TF-2. My kick down does work but not at speeds much above 50 MPH. I have an 8 3/4 in it so I am not too worried about...

Ok I have checked the kick down adjustment per the factory method and it is pretty much dead on. I have the 2 bbl carb rod modified so get proper adjustment. I just have a bad feeling with a shift kit put in on top of another if things were missed or assumed to be correct that weren't. I find...

I have the original 3 piece 2bbl linkage and the 4bbl throttle cable holder and pivot.

I will check the linkage again, I don't think there is any slack at the carb stud and it is full back at full throttle. I don't mind the quick upshifts in the automatic mode but I would like to get back to full throttle shifts in drive being around 5K again.

I changed my rear end fro 2.76 to 3.23 and couldn't get my automatic shift points back where thy used to be, they were shifting way to soon. I tried adjusting the kick down but it didn't seem like it was making much difference. Since the trans shop installed a shift kit when the trans was...

Mopar Pirate has spoken for it, RinoMan68 you are next in line.

I'll get you a shipping quote today.

Very nice 800 CFM thermoquad 9292S, list shows it came of a 1980 360 truck. I would think the calibration would be about right for a warmed over 318. Has been stored upstairs in a box for some time now, looks like it has never been messed with or apart. It is as it came off not even sprayed...

Pulleys have been blasted and painted small one is real nice 5 3/4" diameter 2 5/8" deep, large one is 6 7/8" diameter 2 7/8" deep. Left over from my AC conversion to Sanden compressor. $20 your choice.

Looks like Ford factory stuff

That's kinda what I was thinking, something around original size that I could use the same mounting holes. R134 isn't quite as efficiant and I will have an expansion valve to help with any potential mismatch

I am re-installing the AC in my Dart, I am going with the original evaporator, sanden compressor, expansion valve, and new hoses. Unfortunately my original condenser is damaged and I was thinking of going with a newer style parallel flow unit. I am wondering what size would be appropriate to...

My car came back from paint last year and I am going through the last of the things on the list to fix. I havent been able to unlock the passenger door from the outside. I thought the linkage had probably came out of the clip but I find the linkage is missing. Probably got lost in all the...
