    Could use some help identifying some roller rockers

    Awhile back I was able to pick up a pair of EQ CH318A heads that I believe to be the "good" ones. I knew they were a set of the earlier ones from seeing them on the car, but bought them unseen other than that. So when they showed up with a set of roller rockers and ARP head bolts, I was...

    Old school alignment guys; gauge mount idea. What am I missing?

    After another pointless frustrating encounter with an alignment shop, I bit the bullet and bought a Longacre camber/caster bubble gauge. While I was waiting for it to show up, got to thinking about mounts for the gauge and such. I found some large mounts that was more expensive than I was...

    Later model power steering cooler retrofit on an LA

    I wanted to dial back the pressure on my PS pump and figured if I was going to drop the fluid I might as well add a cooler since the one I had didn't fit with my pressure line. So I thought I would cruise the JY just to see if there was anything available before dropping money on something...

    Why are the easy answers the hardest? Using the OEM fuse box and stock harness for a G3 swap

    So why not use the ’06-07 front fuse box and FCM or the ’08-10 TIPM when doing a G3 swap if the NGC controller is used? Because I think you can. Well sometimes, depending…let me explain. But first a little background. I decided awhile ago that I didn’t want to try and hide the PCM inside the...

    Ever search for a past car and regret?

    Ever wonder what has happened to a car you used to own did a search? And then wished you hadn't? I sometimes get curious about certain cars from my past. Some I don't care about, some I know they ended up in a JY or scrapped because I took them myself, and then their are the cars I wished I...

    Upper balljoint failure. Pin spins in ball?

    Anyone ever see a failure like this? The pin spins in the UBJ ball. There is slop in the joint so it has completely failed but I was surprised to see the pin and ball separate like that. Not sure the video will work, so here is an image: And a link if the above video won't work. link

    Trunk Radio Controls

    So I did a thing: Now that I have a picture to grab some attention, I can give the back story and what that is for. Years ago people started posting about wiring in an amp and some 6x9 speakers that they pumped music through direct from their phone instead of a radio. Seems like there was a...

    A-Body geometry, where is the COC geometry to compare?

    Just so maybe someone will publish their COC suspension geometry, here are my layouts of the TB suspension in various configurations: Stock: Closer so you can read the numbers easier: Performance with the following setup: LCA flat 1 degree negative camber 6 degrees positive caster...

    Fabricated A-Body spindle ideas and discussion

    I am going to start this thread to (hopefully) split it off the new COC thread that the discussion started in. Original thread here -> New Coil-Over Conversion Suspension I am looking at my 4th revision on my custom spindle. I just duplicated the F-Body geometry though and haven't looked at...

    Thoughts on the Hurricane 6? 9.988 at 132.83

    Hurricane-Powered Dakota Blows Down The 9-Second E.T. Barrier 9's in a Dakota is impressive with what is pretty much a stock inline six. Hellcat swapped cars should be faster but the Dakota is pretty comparable to the MMX Dart from the 2021 Drag Week that ran a best of 10.061 and 135.21 mph on...

    Bargain brake ducts? From a Porsche GT3?

    Tripped over this idea and since it was only $22 for me to get a set to my door I figured, why not? Building bargain brake ducts from Porsche GT3 parts I think they will take some tweaking and probably some kind of a part to keep them from rotating, but I was pleasantly surprised at how well...

    Balljoint stud receiver?? Fabrication part, need help finding it.

    My Googlefu skills are not up to the task, can't come up with anything so far. I am looking for a slug of steel that has the taper for the balljoint stud already machined into it. I know I can buy a reamer and do it myself, but looking for something that is pre-made to simplify my idea. The...

    Finally get to pretend I am one of the cool kids - Holley kit swap

    Got my core 5.7 setting in my '73 finally. Need the motor in so I can start cutting the floor and building a cross member for the T56 Magnum. This is with the Holley mounts, headers and oil pan. I used the recommended oil filter adapter, works well. I even have room for the AC...

    Bottom collar for 4 speed key out function - auto to manual conversion

    I find myself in need of a bottom collar for a 4 speed. I am ok to convert one of the multiple bottom collars if I knew what was needed beyond cutting the shifter hand off and filling it. My '74 has the finger lever to turn the collar and unlock the key so it can be removed, but all of the...

    Monroe Swap Meet 2024 - venders or participants?

    Any members here going to the Monroe swap meet this weekend or will have vender spots? A buddy and I plan to be there unless something happens. Be nice to have some idea who is there so we can keep an eye out. Vender booth numbers would be great, too.

    Cold Case Radiator Hoses

    Brother is struggling with radiator hoses for his 6.4 swap, running a Cold Case swap radiator with PS inlet and outlet. What has been used to get them to connect without kinking? Part numbers would be great. Thanks!

    A833OD Reverse Gear interchange?

    I've been having problems with my A833OD sticking in 4th so it is now out and on the bench. During inspection, the points on the reverse gears appear to be fairly rough so I am thinking about swapping them with parts from another OD trans I have. Per Passon's book, there are different reverse...

    Anyone here own an ‘08-10 Mopar car and willing to help me with some config files?

    Looking for some help from someone that owns an ‘08-10 Charger/Challenger/300/Magnum and an OBD2 scanner. I would really like files from an SRT but would take anything right now. Looking for config files from the ABS module and the BCM module. If you have a scanner already, the only other...

    8HP70 Clutchflite??

    I kind of buried this in a thread so thought I would share it more publicly in case anyone else thought it was cool. I remember the clutchflite idea, at least at the tail end of it's use. Always seemed like cool idea, run a clutch to launch the car and then shift it like an automatic...

    [WANTED] Later LX/LC Spindle, bent/broken preferred

    Anyone have a Charger/Challenger/300 spindle they don't want much money for? I'd prefer something that is bent or broken since I can't ever use it and don't want to spend real money for it. Needs to be one with the bolt on wheel bearing hub assembly so 2012+ SXT/RT or 2015+ SRT (I think)...

    Any one else watching the live stream? Looks like Cody Walker (@Walker434) left the Dart at home and is rolling a Challenger running mid 9's? Anyone know the story?

    Coil over preload??? What am I misunderstanding?

    The Questionable Garage is doing a Demon build for all 3 of Holley's Grand Champion challenges using 3 different motors (Hemi, LS, Coyote) but the same car. Pretty cool idea, I like it. He is using a QA1 coil over conversion kit, which completely makes sense to me with his 3 motor criteria...

    RPM Air Gap with AFB and stock air cleaner to hood clearance measurements

    In another thread I mentioned that I have an Edelbrock RPM Air Gap intake with a 1/2" carb spacer, AFB carb and a '72 trap door air cleaner and didn't have clearance issues with my hood. This prompted a request to take some measurements to see how much clearance there was. Instead of...

    Holley tubular swap headers MIA on website. Reason?

    I've notice for some time that the tubular headers Holley has offered in the past for Hemi swaps seem to be missing from their website. I haven't looked hard mind you, but I did go looking for some for a Dakota swap (BH2374) just out of curiosity and only found their cast iron manifolds...

    Remote PS reservoir fitting?

    Anyone have any experience on the OEM power steering pumps and a fitting to remote mount the reservoir? My brother is working on a 6.4 swap into a '71 Demon and is planning to use the OEM 6.4 pump but hates the stock reservoir. That and it hits the fabricated valve covers and won't allow the...

    Scat Pack 4 piston Brembo calipers and rotors

    Fell down a rabbit hole and might have climbed out finally. Years ago I built a brake swap kit for myself using ’98 Mustang Cobra rotors, C5 Vette calipers and a simple flat plate to bolt it all up to a stock disk brake spindle. Been on the car for several years now and seems to work well...
