    Column shift converting to B&M floor shifter

    Hello everyone! I'm thinking of going with a B&M Quick Silver shifter. Currently, I have a '75 Scamp 383/727/8.75 - column shift. Other than the shifter, which seems fairly easy to install, what else would I need? I know they sell a steering collar conversion piece, but could I keep mine in Park...

    So in my quest to SOMEDAY have a '75 383/727/8.75 Scamp, I'm running into trouble with power steering pumps and lack of experience.

    Starter Armature will not come out

    Hey Guys, Anybody have experience rebuilding an original (1972) Chrysler starter? I was following Rick Ehrenberg's 2000 article, and it says this should basically slide out after you remove the long screws and the "end cap". Mine will only slide out maybe 1/2".

    383 Performer Intake and Valley Pan Install

    Should I just use the valley pan with no gaskets? Stock 906 heads, not cut. This FelPro valley pan came with FOUR gaskets. I know to put a little goop on the 4 corners of the pan and across the top and rear of the block, but what about around the intake ports on the head? I am considering just...

    904 Torque Converter in a 727?

    This is the 10" TQ from my '75 Scamp 225 W/AC, 904. The drive train had 53k on it, but doing 383 swap for fun. What are the pros and cons of using this TQ over the 11" in my '68 727 440 Imperial Trans? All of the writing was on the converter. Factory? Or rebuilt?

    Federal Power Steering Pump Pulleys

    Hey fellow Mopar brothers and sisters: Other than perhaps looking a little weird, would I run into any issues using the Federal Pump with correct bracket from my 225 '75 Scamp when I swap in the 383? The Slant 6 PS pulley is 6 3/4" and crank pulley is 6 1/4 I believe. I've been looking around...

    Neutral Safety Switch swap?

    Hello Folks, I have a 68 727 for my 383 Scamp swap. Naturally, being a 1975 Scamp, it has the three prong switch plug. I've read opinions about just using a three prong NSS on the 68 Trans and plug into the Scamp's harness and all's well. But, Isn't the "Rooster comb" different as well as the...

    Hey fellas, With my 1975 Scamp /6 to 383 swap (Schumacher Kit), power steering, column shift auto, factory HP 383/440 manifolds.

    Retractable work light doesn't retract

    Has anyone here had any luck repairing one of these? It's spring loaded, and in the past, I've cleaned it real well which helped some. Now, it just won't retract all the way - about 8 feet remains out of the reel. Is there a way to tighten up the spring, or is this junk now?

    Oil Pan Straighten

    Well, I screwed up a nice oil pan on my 383 by over tightening. I'm making some progress straightening this out, but using odd combos in effort to hammer the right area. I've read about people "using a 2x4" but I can't imagine how that was effective. How about you? What have you specifically...

    Camshaft Install - how tight is too tight?

    I installed new Clevite cam bearings in my 383 build. I slid the Comp Cams camshaft in and it's tight. I read here and on FBBO of some guys scraping the bearings where there's a tight fit. I used Lisle 18000 cam installer tool, and the bearings aren't cockeyed. I pulled the cam and installed...
