Lost interest in the project. Lots of good parts... Car is is in Holland Michigan. I could deliver within a reasonable distance. Don't want to part it out yet, would rather sell it all together. If it doesn't sell I may consider parting it out later. Was a /6 car. Put a 318 and 904 from my...

I'll take the shock plates if they're still available. Sending PM now. Thanks

Off the top of my head I would have to say Camaros and Corvettes helped the cause. I had a late model 2nd gen Z28 many, many years ago. Not exacty up to par with a '69 Charger with a big block, but it had a 350/4-barrel that was rated at slighty more horse power than the standard 350. It was...

Looks like Colorado is a shall issue state. In Michigan, you just have to meet the requirements and they "shall issuse" you the CPL. This might help: http://www.nraila.org/Issues/Articles/Read.aspx?id=198&issue=003 ***EDIT*** Just noticed that you're in California. Is there a Denver...

FWIW - when I did the /6 to V-8 K-member swap in my '73 Dart there was no play. I think the bolts kind of lined things up for me. This is the only swap I've done, so I'm not sure if this the norm or not?

!!

Are you saying to slot the holes on the K-member where the idler mounts in it, then weld in washers?

I haven't put my wires on yet, but I'll probably do the same.

+1 on the spacegrass, only because I have a '73 Swinger 8)

Did you have to weld in any extra length to make it work? Or was just rerouting enough? Did you have to modify just the one tube, or did you have to hack up more than one to make it work? I'd love to see a picture of that mod...

Thanks all for the replies. I didn't actually have too hard of a time getting the headers on the vehicle - a second person would have helped tho! I did the whole "put the car on jack stands and lift the motor with the cherry-picker" thing, had to unbolt the power steering, etc. Everything is...

Yeah, like you said, once I figured out the process, I was able to get them bolted in OK. Helped that the motor was just sitting loose in the bay, so I was able to lift and move it around as needed. Everything else clears pretty good. I'll have to put a little dimple by the power steering box...

Yes, motor is in there pretty good. Picture was taken after loosening all the motor/tranny mount bolts and moving things around as much as I could. Even when jacking the motor so high that it's out of the motor mounts, the idler still hits on the tube. I expected to have to massage these some...

Yeah, I suppose the money I saved on cheap headers is going to cost me about 10 times as much in labor and frustration by the time it's over. :thumbdow: Guess right now I have more time than money. Thought maybe before I got out the acetylene, ball-pein, and angle grinder, someone on here must...

See the pic. '73 Dart, 318, Hooker cheapo headers, new motor mounts, new tranny mount. (all spool type mounts) Idler arm hits real bad on the header. I've tried two different arms, and the one in the pic clears better than the other one I tried. Even jacking the engine up until the spool...

I used a "pickle fork" to get mine off - worked pretty well for me.
