    Generic braided fuel line and regulator, worthwhile buy ?

    We do a bunch of EFI conversions in my shop. I don't recommend running that much rubber hose in any fuel system, and really don't with a higher pressure EFI system. Under that braided sleeve us still a rubber hose that eventually dry rot. I prefer to run as much hard line as possible, and use...

    '69 Barracuda T56 swap, floor, cross member

    Roller Block Cams?

    Hold on, the '81 isn't a roller block. A '91 is. They didn't phase in the roller cams until '86 on the 318, and '88 on a 360. Dropping the roller cam lifter dog bones and spider hardware in a non-roller block doesn't work. The block we used in my buddy's Challenger was an early '90's 360...

    Roller Block Cams?

    We were putting his engine together during the early part of the pandemic shortages. Bullet had cores so we used them. We used them for other applications and told them the Comp stick we were originally planning on. It was a bit more expensive since they only had the billet steel cores at the...

    Roller Block Cams?

    Yes the retrofit roller cam will work in the factory roller block with factory lifters, etc. We did that exact combo in my buddy's Challenger and a Bullet cam ground to be similar to a Comp XR274HR.

    Magnum intake drilling plate project

    The alternator clears. The A/C compressor won't. My buddy is running the Edelbrock EFI intake on his Dakota R/T. He ditched the A/C earlier. I'm planning to do something similar for my Shelby Dakota.

    '69 Barracuda T56 swap, floor, cross member

    I talked with Modern Driveline a few weeks ago. They won't have them back in stock anytime soon. Low volume part, have to concentrate on the higher volume ones first. Was going to go with the ToddRon crossmember for my '68 Fastback, but looks like I'll have to fabricate something.

    3.9 Stroker

    I had a 5-speed '88 Sport 4x4 when my wife and I started dating. Loved that truck and the 3.9 moved it along pretty good with the 5-speed. Looked at that M1 intake but never got around to doing it. Truck got hit and totaled in our driveway a couple months before we got married. Ordered a '96...

    Speed is $...

    Rusty is correct. The default timing table in the Sniper is really basic. Like only three steps in the timing. You need to build a good table to to make it work. We install a bunch of these in my shop. Currently have a 340 '72 Barracuda now that I'll be tuning this week. The basic fuel and...

    No Electronic box in pointless distributor

    The later Lean Burn system (re-branded "Electronic Spark Control") in the '80's used the single pickup design and no advance mechanism. I agree there's a box or module hidden somewhere on the car, probably under the dash.

    318 comp cam

    That's what's in my '65 Valiant. It's a good cam in a 318. Mine has 308 casting heads and 1.88 intake valves, non-EGR Thermoquad intake with an 800 'Quad. Backed by an early gearset 4-speed with 2.94 rear. Makes for a very fun combo.

    Overdrive transmission

    Yes. I believe all 200-4R's are dual bolt pattern. We had one built for a customer's '69 Firebird convertible behind his 472 stroker. Finding cores is tough.

    Bellhousing to center of stick mount measurement

    I accidentally posted this over on the automatic forum this morning. I'll ask an admin to delete that one. Does anyone have a measurement of the distance from the face of the bellhousing (engine block side) to the center of the stick mount for an A-body 833? Say from a 130 tooth flywheel...

    Bellhousing to center of stick mount measurement

    Edit: Admins, please delete this post. Meant to post in the manual transmission forum. Thanks.

    Anything special about a 91 318?

    Is the '91 318 a Dakota 318 or one from a Ram or Ram Van? The '91 was the last of the LA 318, and the first year for a regular production 318 in a Dakota (1989 Shelby doesn't count). The '91 Dakota 318 accessory drive was unique to it. Uses one year only tensioner, water pump, and I think...

    318 4 bbl and intake upgrade

    Couple years ago I put a stock '70 340 intake on my wife's '73 Challenger. Put a 625 Street Demon on top with a 1/2" phenolic spacer so the choke linkage would clear the factory choke stove casting. A buddy gave me the intake so I had it kicking around. Challenger already had '68-70 340...

    Anybody building/ racing a First gen Dakota??

    Any 318 or 360 Magnum pan for a '92-04 Dakota, or '98-03 Durango. IIRC some of the B-vans got that pan too. The Ram pan will not work. The sump will hit the crossmember.

    5.9 Magnum Balance Converter Weights Information

    I'll see what I have when I get to the shop tomorrow. The weight removed was due to the extra weight added from the weld bead. Factory was spot welded. I'd see if someone could just remove some material from your SFI flexplate to get the same imbalance as a weighted stock one.

    5.9 Magnum Balance Converter Weights Information

    Don't know if this will help or not, but just needed to do something for my buddy's 360 Magnum/46RE combo. Needed the earlier non-symmetrical converter bolt pattern flex plate with the crank position tone wheel. Had a guy that specializes in balancing spin a used stock '96-03 Magnum 360...

    carb or efi

    What racing are you looking to do? Most of the nostalgia classes won't allow EFI. But if you are looking to do regular bracket classes and plan on buying a data logger take a look at the EFI systems.

    1987 Dodge Dakota 5.9 swap with a NV3500

    I helped with the development of the Shelby-Dodge.com site and I'm part of the Shelby Dodge Auto Club. Shelby's team use a cut down crossmember from either a B-van or W-series truck (I haven't identified which yet) and regular truck mounts to put the 318 in them. Redrilled the frame for the...

    1987 Dodge Dakota 5.9 swap with a NV3500

    Yea it's real close. I didn't notice until I tried running some old Mopar Performance Tri-Y headers on the Shelby. The passenger side hit the firewall. Then compared it to a '92 and my '96 and you could see the extra space behind the distributor on the later trucks.

    1987 Dodge Dakota 5.9 swap with a NV3500

    Shelby had the engine set back further than the '91-96 V8 trucks. About an inch if I'm right. My Shelby is down to the frame right now so I can't get a measurement. But you should be able to make yours work with the Magnum serpentine setup and electric fans.
