    MileHighDart, that is Valspar farm and implement paint. It is a single stage, uses hardener, and designed to sit outside forever. The color is FORD Tractor red. Sorry to disappoint everyone with my off brand paint and color! Lol

    5.9 Magnum, install approaching

    Hey Rick, regrettably not much in progress. It is the soccer season and I coach a team of my 18, 12-14 year old girls. It is my slow season as far as the car is concerned. I have ripped my k-frame back down. It was powder coated 4 years ago. I let my exuberance get the cart before the horse. So...

    5.9 Magnum, install approaching

    Hey as long as I've got all of your attention, what is this port and mumbo jumbo back behind the intake, beside the distributor? Do I need to keep it? Or can I just cap it all off, and plug it?

    5.9 Magnum, install approaching

    Peyote, honestly the brackets just got a good cleaning and scuff. The power steering bracket is actually cast horribly, it had all kinds of sharp casting flash and ugly edges, it got a quick, as in maybe 10 minutes work, with a flap style grinding disc.

    5.9 Magnum, install approaching

    Yes that is a stock Ram power steering bracket. It will most likely end up crowding the battery. Cross that bridge when I get there. The only goodies are a Magnummopar stage 2 cam and EQ heads. Thanks for the compliments, she looks amazing in person.

    Magnum engines in A-bdy ???

    Just my .02 cents. My mag install is not complete yet, so not much help. However I can share that Schumacher Tri-Y headers require zero grinding on the truck engine mount bosses. Bolt right up with room for days.

    Some 5.9 roller cam help from y'all please

    I'm confused as to where this EQ heads only support 470 lift out of the box? That info seems to be false. I bought a set of bare heads through Magnum Mopar, with the cam he recommended. My stock heads were cracked. Took it all to the machinist, where he double checked the valve grind, and then...

    Demon quarter panel

    I feel your pain. I had a pair installed and they were poorly stamped at the top of the quarter where it meets the door. They are installed now, all the lines match up, all the gaps are outstanding, except that one spot. Every time I post something regarding it I get blown up by unhelpful...

    Magnum serpentine belt diagram and pic

    Huh, might need to look into this. I was going to buy an A/C delete pulley from Rockauto. Now keep in mind belt size and power steering position is different in vans, compared to trucks. Seems according to your pic, if I threw a van pump on, giving more room for the battery box, I could just buy...

    How much tire to front fender clearance?

    I know you don't believe this, but your picture was exactly what I was looking for. I need to attach the front lower fender mount, and see if I have the bottom of the fender attached behind the wheel. Last night while I was jacking it up and trying to find a ride height that suited my eye, yet...

    More HP from 5.9 Magnum

    I am anxiously awaiting my new Magnum Mooar cam, hopefully tomorrow. I can't say enough good about hear guys. Jay has been my contact guy, but I have spoken with Evan as well. They have taken real good care of me so far. Just got my EQ heads yesterday. My engine is bone stock 5.9, using the...

    How much tire to front fender clearance?

    Hey all been awhile since I've been trashing around. Rented a shop and got the car out of another Natures workshop, so I have been far too busy building my car. So my question and details. How much clearance should I have as a minimum between the front tires and the fender lips? The car is a 71...

    What are your favorite Mopar parts vendors?

    Well I'd like to add 2 glaring omissions... Dr. Diff, Cass has been a wealth of knowledge and an amazing resource for swap parts etc. Then I cannot believe nobody has mentioned Firm Feel Inc. Find a more knowledgeable Mopar suspension guy, than Dick. He has treated me very good over the years...

    Cannot get full front suspension rebound.

    Ok so as I was trying out a nee spindle and a stock late A upper control arm, Hotchkis gave me a call Friday. They still hadnt shipped the replacement on account of them discovering the problem. The fabricator jigged and welded the balljoint cup in upside down. Gonna be a couple of weeks for the...

    Cannot get full front suspension rebound.

    Thanks guys. I located a spindle next state over, good ole boy junkyard $45 shipped, so I bought it. If nothing else we can rule it out. On the other end of the chain, Hotchkis seems to believe based on my pics sent before and after, that I may have gotten a 2nd bad arm. They were sorting the...

    Cannot get full front suspension rebound.

    Thanks fellas, my mounts have been notched, and like was mentioned with the heim joints I have room for days. No the pin of the upper balljoint is torqueing over into the joint body and stops. I've got a stock arm coming to compare. I am actually seriously questioning my spindle. All the pics...
