    Just wanted to thank those who responded to my wanted ad!

    I just wanted to thank all those who responded to my wanted ad for a B body front hub. I didn't know I couldn't add a thank you message after I marked the ad "sold". Thanks, FABO! :thumblef:

    [SOLD] Help! I need a B-body drum brake front hub...

    I have a set of B-body 10" drums swapped onto my 65 Valiant (with 73-76 UCAs). I started hearing a god-awful racket from my left front wheel, took it apart to find the outer bearing race spinning loose in the "wallered out" hub casting. I just put new bearings in few months back... don't...

    5.2 Magnum rotating assembly in 318 LA block?

    Can a 5.2 Magnum crank, rods, and pistons be used in an older 318 LA block? Was thinking this would be a cheap way to bump up compression in a 318. I think I remember reading something about the rear main seal being different, though- one piece on Magnums? Can the Magnum type seal be adapted...

    [SOLD] Need a BBP 7 1/4, 2.76 or 2.94. I'm in SW Indiana.

    What A bodies came with a "buddy seat" armrest?

    I remember seeing '74-'76 Dart SE's and Valiant Broughams with a separate center armrest between buckets. Were there any others in A bodies?

    Is there a list of all the Mopar stock steel wheels anywhere?

    Something I've never seen, but would be handy, is a list of all the steelies that came on torsion-bar era Mopes. The Rallyes and Magnums have been pretty well covered by the magazines over the years- I'm talkin' about the standard steelies intended for hubcaps or wheelcovers. I know SBP A body...

    What to look for in U-pull Magnum?

    I'm seriously considering swapping a 318 Magnum into my '68 frankenstien Dart project. There's plenty of them in the local U-pull yard, and I can pull the pan and heads right there for a look at the cylinder walls, bearings, etc. Other than the basics, are there any problem areas to be on...

    '73-'76 discs on a '65- How much wider? pics?

    Anyone know how much my track width will increase if I swap the '73 and newer disc set-up onto my '65? All else being equal (same wheel specs except bolt pattern, same tires, same ride height, etc.)? My car currently has 9" drums and 14" x 4.5" SBP steel wheels. I've seen this question come up...

    Anyone know of a good (older) Dodge pick-up forum?

    I know I could just google "Dodge Truck Forum", but I figured someone here might know of a good one. There's alot of 'em dedicated to the later trucks, but I'm lookin' for one that leans toward the '72-'93 generation. Mabey a new FABO spin off: "For D and W Series only";-)

    Now by golly I'm gonna find out 1st hand about pre-magnum TBI...

    Whenever the subject of swapping 89-91 TBI onto a 318 comes up on here, there seems to be alot of people who say: ":puke:Nooo! Stay away! Verboten! It's Junk!:puke:" And a few who say it works just fine, as long as you aren't looking for more perfomance than a stock 318-2. I've considered...

    Any oddball 340 cars out there? (sedans, etc)

    We've all read about B-bodies built with Hemis that weren't supposed to be available. There are several '67 Belvederes and Satellites and at least a couple of non-Super Bee base model '68 Coronets. Anybody ever see an A body with a (factory) 340 it wasn't supposed to have? A Valiant or Dart...

    Polishing Glass?

    The driver's side door window on my '65 Val is scratched to @#$%^&. :-? Is it possible to polish it out? I tried some paint poling compound but that wouldn't touch it (didn't really think it would.) Is there any difference in the passenger's and driver's side glass? I'm thinking they'd be...

    Hmmm... How 'bout a 2.2/2.5 turbo in an early A?

    Just daydreamin' here: How bout a 2.2/2.5 turbo in a '60-62 or '63-66 (light!) A body? The naturally aspirated version was the standard mill in Dakotas, so there's a RWD 5 speed tranny and mounts that would at least be a start. I know, it'd be a lot easier to just bolt in small block, but an...

    Any more "frankenstien" A bodies out there? (Varts, Daliants, etc.)

    Hello! Been Readin' on here for a while, this is my first time postin'. I've got a few A bodies- A nice driver '65 Valiant 100 2 door sedan, a couple of future projects and parts cars and my current project- a '68 Dart 4 door with a '75 Valiant front clip, which leads me to the Subject of...
