    Are prices way down on classic muscle right now?

    To be honest, I think its virtually all over. If people are hanging out for their muscle car to be an investment, well, I now think its too late. The main market, the Baby Boomer, is getting too old, and already has his "Collection". Im "Middle Aged" now, but even I was too young to buy into the...

    Comp cams degreeing issue

    It is confusing. But dont forget, if you are using a Rollmaster set (I guess others are similar), when you use the "Advance or retard" 4/6/8 degree keyways...this is CRANK degrees not cam degrees.....so 4 degree on the crank gear is only 2 degrees at the cam (1/2 speed). So I wonder about your...

    UnBalanced SBM Engine build

    OK, a search of FABO shows that everyone recommends a crank balance. But who has just "thrown together" a 360 Mopar over the past 30 years and never had it balanced? Well I have. In the early/mid 80s I was young and built my "Good" 360. I used aftermarket pistons (cast) stock rods, std...

    Synthetic oil

    Just flicked thru a "Mopar" magazine the other day. Their test engine, 383 I think, picked up 16hp on the dyno going from 20/50 to synthetic 5/30, with no other changes. Not bad. BTW the electric waterpump drive picked up only 1hp but 6 ft/lbs. Hardly worth the expense? tho 6 ft/lb is 6 ft/lb.

    Por 15 vs. KBS Rust Seal

    I have used KBS "Blacktop" straight out of the can, on my vintage 750/4 frame. Prepped the frame, no rust etc, made sure it was clean and grease free. Just used a paint brush. The paint levels out nice and is very gloss. Unfortunately I got too excited and used too thick a paint on the brush and...

    Yes a few RHD Barracudas did turn up in the UK, Do you know where they were made? South Africa also assembled RHD "Valiant" (not Plymouth) 67/68 Barracudas too. I wish they did them here too. As far as shifting with your left hand, you just get use to it, and no, you dont have to be left...

    hi from the UK

    Hi Tim, Ive noticed the UK Mopar scene is hotting up real nice. You have a few OZ A bodies over there too. I'm thinking of travelling over to the ancestoral homeland sometime in the future (its only been 170 years since we left). What dates are the Mopar "Euro" Nats? Any chance of meeting up...

    Should I put 360 valves in my 675 heads?

    Not trying to be a smart-A@#, but the CH4B is a 440 manifold only, I guess you meant LD4B. If you do indeed have a CH4B, it will NOT fit the 318. I'd use the 1.88s and 1.60s, do a backcut on the intakes, and round the edge off the exhausts, and do a little pocket port and gasket matching...
