A few pic's she took while loading it up on trailer. My son wants to put the engine together and stuff the engine and trans back in, and clean it up enough to start driving it. Probably put headers and dual exhaust, Got a full set of Weld rodlite wheels to put on it, a shift kit in the trans...

My son bought this car on Monday and I drove a little over 2 hours to pick the car up. The Dart has the usual dings and chips you would find in a 51 year old car. Rust for a car that has been in the north east its entire life is minimal, drivers side floor has a few small holes and a little...

And the win goes to Dale Davies, Thank you! You wouldn't believe how many people will argue that the gr-8 shear strength is greater because the bolt is stronger.

Now my question is which bolts have the higher shear strength, a gr-2, gr-5 or gr-8? On the subject of studs and nuts, the GM LS engines and the Ford Mod engines both use studs and they are both having the same cast iron exhaust manifold attachment breakage problems as the new Hemi that uses...

So now a hypothetical scenario, The manufacturer decides to put the manifolds on with 3/8 grade 8 bolts now, to cure the problem of 5/16 low grade bolt snapping. The 3/8 bolt cost more but is much stronger, so now that bolt pulls the threads out of the aluminum head instead of breaking. How much...

As much as a lot of us think engineers are a bunch of half wits for the way they engineer these cars, most of them do know their perspective jobs. The engineer for that bolt most likely spec a lower grade bolt just for that reason. I have changed my perspective on engineers after my son...

Guys you have to put everything into perspective, there are three different alloys here with three different expansion rates, an aluminum head, cast iron exhaust manifold, and a steel bolt. Something has to give, most times it is the steel bolt that is the weak link( which is believe it or not...

2022 Ram 1500 Longhorn 4x4, year round daily driver and tow vehicle and most comfortable 2012 Challenger R/T Classic, summer fair weather daily driver 1966 Dart, fun car, race car, cruise car 1980 CBX Honda, what I ride just for the odd looks it gets when people see those 6 pipes hanging off the...

Don't know if this counts but I received honorable mention in the Feb. 2024 issue of Mopar Action, at the Carlisle Show. My 1966 Dart 170 2dr sedan.

My worst and best 318 powered vehicles, first the the worst was a 1983 Chrysler Cordoba with every available option bought new, that poor 318 was rated at a little over a 100 hp and coupled to a 2.45 8 1/4 rear. Kind of gutless in a 4000 lbs car, but I will admit engine itself ran very smooth...

Back in the late 70's my little sister and her husband bought a 318 powered 70 Charger from the original owner with some were in the high 70,000 mile range on it, car ran perfect. Around a year later they asked me to take a look at it because it was making a weird whirring noise and started...

I wish the best for this gentleman and his AAR. But when it comes to wearing bright yellow when working out on the roads, there is so much of this color out there now that it has become a neutral color. Everybody and their brother wears it and nobody pays attention to it any more. They should...

Yes this one had the 15 inch rally wheels like the Corvettes had, and the disc brakes. But didn't have the air cleaner vented to the cowl, other than that it looked like a cheap 6 cyl. plain jane white Camaro with the base interior that someone put stripes and rally wheels on. This was around...

Wasn't the factory traction bar a performance V8 4 spd add on, I say this because my brothers 67 RS conv. 327 4 spd car had that single traction bar too. I forgot about the two black stripes.

A friend back in high school was a GTO fanatic. After high school in the early 70s he sold his pride and joy 67 GTO and all his Pontiac parts to buy this plain jane white 67 Camaro. That's the day I learned what a Z/28 was and if I remember right its only hint to what it was, was the crossed...

Yes, but weren't the 67,68,69 Z/28 put on the protected species list and aloud to mate to the heart's content, and were there was a few now there are tens of thousands. Sorry Cuda416 I couldn't help myself I had to do it.

Looks like Brewer's is out of the flywheel you would need to fit the 273/318. You would have to search here, or swap meets, or the internet for a 122 tooth V8 flywheel. Or you could switch everything over to a 10.5/130 tooth clutch and bellhousing setup.

Brewer's has the bellhousing you need, it's for the early A body with a 273, 122 tooth flywheel, 9.5" clutch. He will have the clutch linkage and brackets you will need to switch from the slant 6 to your 318 too. Motor mounts you will have to look for early A body 273 mounts.

No the seller was suppose to prove to PayPal that the package was shipped and that I received it, which I figure would meen tracking with a signed delivery receipt. I have never seen a response from PayPal like that before either, so the other guy must of had a few grievances against him or...

I went through a failed purchase 2 months ago with a guy on another forum. He had a shift handle for sale for a $100 bucks plus shipping, I offered him $125 with shipping (if the shipping was more I made out, if less he made out), he accepted the deal. I sent the money through PayPal to his...

DionR Ya they do, I was told back in 2013 after I put a 6.4 cam and PSI 1511 valve springs and shorty headers not to take it to 6000 rpm or it would spit the crack and rods out of it, Ya I shifted it at 6200 with the 6.4 cam and 6500 with the custom cam and long tube headers and SRV intake and...

DionR the 6.4 cam is cut on a 121 LSA and has 215/221 @.050 107 ICL with 20+ degrees of retard in the VVT. The 380 Crate engines cam if I remember right was 288/292 232/236 @.050 (or it could have been 230/[email protected] i'm not sure) cut on a 108 lsa with a 106 ICL, pretty healthy street cam. The...

...the one I still have, a 2012 R/T Classic 5.7 6spd tremec and 3.90 rear gear. I changed the cam out to a 214/224 @ .050 .590/.585 lift cut on a 112* installed at 106* VVT is still active, 1 7/8 headers, stock factory SRT 2 3/4" exhaust, 6.4 srv intake manifold set to switch to short runner at...

Thank You Swinger 340, I forgot the part about only the 9 inch 4 wheel drums on the later A body 6 cylinder cars came with the 5x4 pattern.

What I thought was true and and what is actually true about the rear axles and bolt patterns on the A body cars, after a lot of searching through old books is exactly what I remembered all these years. All A body cars from 1960 to 1972 with 7 1/4 and 8 3/4 rear axles came with 5x4 inch bolt...

Contact Moser Engineering, They have the proper hub size and offset for the brakes on there axles. When I bought my Moser axles for the 70 A body 8 3/4 housing with 10 inch drum brakes that was in my 66 Dart, Moser new exactly what I needed and even offered to drill both bolt patterns in them at...

My guess is, it's looking a lot better than the body shop hell that most guys and gals cars end up in. The body man tell you 3 to 6 months and a year and a half latter you find out on faceplant he has quit doing body work and closed up the shop and could have possibly moved out of state. Just...

Love to have back what I still think was by far the prettiest car I ever owned. 69 Q5 turquoise, white interior and bee stripe, bucket seat console, 383 4spd, n96 ram air Super Bee. This is a picture of the car now, the owner keeps this car immaculate, and everytime I see it I kick myself for...

Jim Lusk, You are right the W2 head was on the drawing board for the 78 Little Red Truck and was nixed for smog. My guess is that the W2 head does not have the exhaust heat crossover. Which would have made the EGR valve on the intake manifold inoperable which was a part of the smog equipment for...

The last Wix filter I bought when I changed the oil on my ecodiesel Ram said made in china on the filter when I took it out of the box, didn't sit well. On the EngineMaster show both Wix filters they tested dropped oil pressure at the top of the rpm sweep, the only thing they figured was the...
