question: in your initial communication did you explicitly ask what slant models it fit? did he expressly say that it fit a specific model?

i see you went back and edited your post. i'll leave it at that.

unless your experience is buying or selling with the person then i don't see how that has any concern with the situation. sure, you don't like the guy's disposition or personality but that doesn't mean he lacks integrity.

it looks like you've got all the i's dotted and t's crossed with that set up. i'd circle back and try another t-stat. maybe the one you got was faulty in some way-- just because it's new doesn't mean it's any good. from there another possible is that the thermostatic clutch isn't performing...

throw in another vote for a manual valvebody or modifying the stock valvebody to do what you want it to, without smoking the bits.

the kind where you start another thread and show us.

and that temp would be?

put in a thermostat and see what it does. and get a decent one for cripe's sake, not no vato zone special. also more directly, i've asked twice: running hot> on the factory gauge, aftermarket gauge, or with a IR temp gun? boiling over?

those radiators seem to be well regarded, but i don't know enough about them to make a call one way or the other. the fan/shroud and clutch are solid choices. what's the water pump, how close is the fan, t-stat? when was the last time the block was flushed? running hot> on the factory...

on the most basic of terms you have a problem with water flow or air flow (or both), or your radiator is inadequately sized. so maybe it's a little bit of all three converging into a perfect nexus of overheating. and what's overheating? stock gauge is pegged up hot? aftermarket gauge is...

i only have /6, sorry.

V8 or /6?

yeah, i seem to remember the pans were okay. pretty solid car all the way around. the duster that's there is damn near gone a whole bunch of it has been cut off but the floors are still in it. it was a 3spd on the floor so there's a giant gaping hole there, but otherwise solid. stuff's been...

it really comes down to luck a lot of the time. but these days the yard vultures are en masse. just fools ambling around swiping ticky-tacky stuff and needlessly busting up **** in the process. savages. or everybody wants to chit chat and make friends. this isn't a lion's club luncheon and i...

somebody already snagged that and is selling it

what a load of BS! Daniel, i personally linked, PM'd or mentionedb many great cars for you all of which you passed on for "reasons". yeah, they may have been further away than you liked but you need to come to the realization that you're not gonna be like picking up an a body for sale on a...

sweet ride, sounds like a nice easy deal to close a transaction too. never say never on another ride, the world works in mysterious ways and you may find yourself behind the wheel again!

that's a blatant lie, daniel. you've even said yourself that you need a loan to cover a portion of what you'd like to spend and the bank note was contingent on an appraisal/inspection. and it was up for 8 months. if you didn't see it, you weren't looking hard enough. which boo hoo, so sad, too...

i have a lot of suspension & drivetrain parts, both in SBP an BBP if you shoot me PM with a specific list i'll root around and see what all i've got.

there's somebody on here doing a 4.0 in a 2nd gen cuda. it's a bit of an undertaking from what i've seen in the thread. and that's just to get it to fit/mount, who knows about hood clearance. i like the motor, but that wouldn't be anywhere near the top of my engine swap list for these cars.

love it. i am 100% stealing this and in return i give you: myth is strong, memory is not.

funny you mention that... check this out: https://www.ebay.com/itm/326152625746?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=lRAnme_NQl-&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=O369MQRXRMO&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

the reputation these motors have for durability and the amount of abuse they'll endure borders on myth, but can they make a respectable amount of power and hold together as well? asking for a friend....

too much lift there, methinks. cool car with tons of potential.

anything is possible. the more *likely* scenario is ma mopar trying to save a nickle and doing away with the smaller .830 and just equipping all the slant cars with .850

i ran ranchos and carrera back in the mid/late 90's when choices were scant, and *good* shocks were 6~700 bucks easy. you can do it. and they work. but for not much more money you could just get the bilsteins and they bolt right in.

some of those came with 7.25's... also, FMJ's are 54.34" flange to flange and springs are 44.46, with the A's being 51.5~52.62" and springs 43" on center. so, close but not exactly a bolt in.

generally cars with AC got the next step up bars. so a slant with AC would get .85's, a 318 2bbl with AC would get .87's

it could certainly have .92 bars or .94 bars, but they'd be aftermarket. MP offered .92's (that's what i run, actually) and i've seen custom .94 bars made by specialized suspension outfits (summers bros, firm feel, street concept).
