    318/8 Speed Swap

    2.94 is a great gear too, a little more responsive than the 2.76.

    318/8 Speed Swap

    Sound German has a gear indicator display so you can see what gear you are in. Possibly, Dakota Digital dash may have that too? Not sure... Dion..yes I think the 2.76 puts me right where I want to be, with your info backing it up. The V6 weighs in at 3886 lb, so I am still about 500 lbs...

    318/8 Speed Swap

    My car has a 2.76 gear in it now, 8 3/4. You would have to find used for that gear. I need a sure grip still. From what I understand the C bodies had 2.76 sure grips. Also thinking since my car is probably 900 lbs or so lighter than a new challenger, the 2.76 might be just right. I could...

    318/8 Speed Swap

    Reviving this old thread.... work has finally begun getting the 8 speed in. I changed direction on the flywheel from the QuickTime -947 to a kit from JVX Racing in Tenn. He has a full installation kit to make the easy (he also sells the kit and adapter for a big block). Tunnel was cut and...

    318/8 Speed Swap

    Hi Johnny, I never tried moving it in or out. It is at the shop with the car so I cannot try it. Maybe the next time I go down I will see how much movement there is. It isn't just for harmonics as the ram truck has a full floating rear axle like our cars and they have quite a bit of travel in...

    318/8 Speed Swap

    I've also been playing around with the shifter. The easiest would be to just mount the new shifter in place of the old slap stick. The sizes are close (I mounted a old style pistol grip to the stalk, not done yet). The stalk needs a sleeve to get it to the proper diameter but I think it will...

    318/8 Speed Swap

    I don't recall what it came out of as I bought it from Craigslist. I do have part numbers off of it... P52123616AA its at the shop with the car but the part with the slip joint, the length is close for a barracuda, challenger would be a little longer of course. I think it will need to be cut...

    318/8 Speed Swap

    Hello Mgo, I am in Fayetteville. I plan on using the 2 piece driveshaft from a ram but I think it was from a rear wheel drive. The second part of the shaft has the slip joint. The front section has the output mount for the trans so the plan is to remove that and put on where it joined the mid...

    [FOR SALE] New Quicktime RM-947 flex plate.

    Just found out that this is also the same diameter (and 130 tooth count) as a flywheel so for those that are looking to run an engine on a run stand, you can use this plate. It is also a lot lighter.

    [FOR SALE] New Quicktime RM-947 flex plate.

    I have a brand new Quicktime RM-947 flex plate that fits mopar 6 bolt crank, for use with a GM transmission. I've never used nor mounted it. I've had it longer than the return window (about a year) so I cannot do a return. I was going to use for my 8 speed swap to my LA but there is now flex...

    3D Printing a Center Console

    They made it out of ABS, to make is as strong as possible. They plan to make a full set but for now just 1 was made. They used an inner tube as also "stress tested" until it popped. It is an interesting series of videos. The printed wheel starts with this video, but it is slow to watch. He...

    3D Printing a Center Console

    This is cool stuff, Kevin. I've wanted to get a printer and scanner to 3D print stuff as well, but I don't think it will be any time soon. I watched a youtube video of printing a car wheel. I thought printing out "450" style rims but a little bigger would be great, as long as it looked pretty...

    Engine / Carb tuning mechanic needed... non mopar, near Orlando

    Disregard, thinks carb is fixed. I have a friend near Orlando (more east) looking for a mechanic to help tune his GM car. It has a big block, somewhat modified, and a Holley 750 carb. He thinks the carb needs tuning, but could be related to engine to (like timing, etc.). He would like to...

    [WANTED] Firm Feel Column Extender (adaptor) for Power to Manual Steering

    Thinking about the extra slop, might be wiser to just switch to a manual steering column then.

    Hello Rass, I saw an older post of yours about some power steering parts for sale. I saw that you had the extension piece for changing power to manual steering, like the firmfeel CA0 part? Do you still have it and would sell separately? I am going to manual steering on an e body and thinking...

    Jeep exhaust Manifolds instead of headers, are these the large opening manifolds?

    Sounds like I will just get a set of long tube headers then. For a street car, I want the low end power and don't need the high end.

    Jeep exhaust Manifolds instead of headers, are these the large opening manifolds?

    Are these even worth the trouble or will a pair of shorty headers work better? Which are recommended, the Summit block huggers? DODGE Summit Racing SUM-G9064-1 Summit Racing™ Block Hugger Headers | Summit Racing I don't want to lose any low end power for a street car.

    Jeep exhaust Manifolds instead of headers, are these the large opening manifolds?

    I searched the site looking for the answer as I know I read it a long time ago but couldn't find. I am wanting to run manifolds instead of headers for a modified 318 (less than 400hp) for a mostly street car. I didn't want to lose low end power or deal with any header issues. My friend...

    [FOR SALE] big block engine parts, 440 mainly

    They are vey close 9 1/4" bottom of ball to to edge of cup, using a stick ruler. My caliper doesn't go that big so I cannot give the exact size. I am not sure if this is the way to measure them. If just measuring the pushrod body (tube), not the ball or cup, it is 8 5/8". These were in my...

    Are Speedmaster Heads Studs the only option for Speedmaster Heads?

    I was looking to order a set of the head studs for my speed masters as well. On the Summit site, the SMs are still out of stock and it says the substitute for the are the ARP 144-4003 where Turbo's link is for the ARP 144-4005. I am not sure what the difference is but the "003" kit costs a bit...

    Anyone use Versatube? Would like opinions for garage build.

    Prices are all over the place unfortunately. With oil going nuts, it looks like I may have to wait it out again :(

    Anyone use Versatube? Would like opinions for garage build.

    Barbee6043 - I haven't found a local pole barn style building but have contacted some of other local building companies... some never respond, some are way overpriced and one I just mentioned won't even work in my County anymore due to the inspector's nonsense.

    Anyone use Versatube? Would like opinions for garage build.

    I appreciate the info. I agree with the "one stop shop" idea and getting it insulated before moving anything in. I've done some preliminary work on what the County allows. This is where I have run into some issues....I can't use vertical seams for the walls. Someone, in their infinite wisdom...

    Anyone use Versatube? Would like opinions for garage build.

    As I continue to struggle with my garage aspiration (contractors, County nonsense, and materials issues), I am looking at VersaTube so I can assemble the building myself. I am looking at a 34 x 34 x 12 building. Using their building planner on the website, I've made 2 styles: frame only and one...
