Have access to most of the tools I need. Backlash, pinion depth, bearing replacement is all part of the plan. I would rather learn to do it myself...
Good advice. Got the caps off, dropped the whole business out and tapped off the ring gear, which was the goal. Pulling this open diff from a...
Ahh a comedian! :lol:
Then take the ring gear off? Seems like I will have to to get clearance for that screw headed pin. Why the hell Doesn't that book tell me that!?
Trying to remove the cross shafts and i know i need to remove this screw headed pin first but there is no clearance to turn it because if the ring...
Thinking of ordering a Sure Grip unit from Doc Diff. My donor Newport rear has an open unit. Any reason i can't use the donor pinion and ring gear...
Very cool Project! Welcome!
See, there you go. Now why can’t Summit say that! Much appreciated Professor. Any recommendations on pistons? Keeping the forged crank as is....
Thanks Professor! Why the heck doesn’t Summit just list the 20862 kit as good to fit all years 383 blocks?
So this was Summit’s answer if the 2086 Top Kit would fit on a 65 383 block. I’m still confused. What would it matter if the plug angle in...
Had the same issue with my 67, posted my issue in the Wanted forum and was able to have a Member respond and cut out a section from his parts car.
Thanks fellas!!
Have the donor Newport’s 383 torn down and ready to send to the machine shop. Still need to remove the distributor drive gear. I’m assuming I...
Welcome!

Makes sense. I was thinking it might have something to do with the valve train.
Yes, I also saw the verbiage in the description that says 1966-…… hence my question.
440 Source states that the Stealths are straight up bolt-on.
Here is an example from Edelbrock for their intakes…..says 1958-…… in title but 66-72 in description. Or am I reading it wrong?[ATTACH][ATTACH]
I keep seeing notes in the product specs for new heads, intakes, etc…. That say compatible for 383’s ‘66-72…..will there be issues with my 65 383...
Whatcha putting those on Edorion?
Got the 383 pulled out of the 65 Newport today. Fun time but darn cold here in the Florida Panhandle! Will see what else it needs besides new...
Yeah, unless I read it wrong, edelbrock heads are running close to $1000 each!
Thinking of replacing the stock 516 heads on my 65 donor 383 engine that will be going in the 67 Dart. Any opinions? Thinking of keeping the...
Any issues with the thickness on the sets you have used Professor?
Thanks Professor!
Anyone use these Mancini Slant 6 to B/RB mounts for a conversion lately? Pulling the 383 out of my Donor 65 Newport next weekend so the 67 Dart’s...
According to the website they do shorten axles. They are only about 5 hours from me so if I can ship to them it will work out great. Thanks for...
I can’t believe that not one machine shop in my area will shorten an axle housing. They all reacted like it was the worst request ever. Even a few...
