    Replacement drums and hubs for 1969 Dart with 5x4.5 lugs?

    Anyone found front drums and hubs for a V8 Dart (273) that have the larger lug pattern? I went with the 5x4.5" for the Dana 60 in the back, just want to match it up front, and the Google machine is laying goose eggs for me at the moment (or it might just be me) :).

    Mopar purple .528 for a 383?

    Not exactly the same, but the 0.509, 292 juicer purple I ran in a 383 was fantastic. My converter was way too tight, but once she hit 3k it was a Ninja rocket! Building a more scienced out 440 version of that engine for my '69 Dart GT, Torker, 2" to 2 1/8" Step Proparts style semi fender well...

    Into the weeds engine design for fuel efficiency discussion.

    .035" Quench on iron heads allow higher static compression ratios without detonation. As partially stated above, thin rings reduce friction and also measurably reduce heat load into the water jacket. An intake manifold with high velocity runners helps with better cylinder filling and swirl, and...

    Building a slant for torque

    I lost my last slantie in a bad trade, but I had milled the head .15", had nice long tube Hookers, aluminum 2bbl replead with porosity issues, Mopar electronic ignition, it would fry a tire just fine in my D100. Want another just to play with, have a few M60 and one M90 blowers which would be...

    Building a slant for torque

    I'm still holding out hope Edelbrock has pitty on us and makes an aftermarket aluminum high compression head, cross flow Hemi would be awesome because you could run much bigger valves.

    Tunnel ram or no tunnel ram...

    Tunnel ram is a "Ram charger" original idea, and they make amazing torque and HP. Just sucks looking around it in a street car.

    440 Crank in a 383

    The great thing about the 383 is you can wrap the pee out of it and it will never break. It's a magic motor.

    Any advice on my 440 recipe?

    My build isn't for everyone, but I am recreating a mid 80's 383 build for my 440, but with more modern tech. Using quench block hypereutectic pistons set to 0.035" quench, old school 0.509" 292° 108° hydraulic cam, single springs with damper, back cut stainless 2.14" 1.88" valves, Total seal gap...

    Poly engine mounts

    I don't want to use solid mounts on my 440 Dart, but I do want much more stable than rubber. I have poly mounts in my '93 Cummins Dodge and they are great, but I haven't been able to find them for the Dart.

    Misfiring after Carter 2bbl install

    If the intake Manifold is a factory dicast aluminum unit make sure it is completely sealed with paint because they have porosity issues that make tuning them a headache. I chased lean issues for a while until I figured that out.

    Clutchflite Info

    I always loved the idea of a Clutch flute setup, especially after building my (long gone) 1974 Cuda 383 with solid motor mounts, Cheetah full manual valve body and a way to stiff converter. When that car shifted it was like getting hit in the teeth with a ball peen hammer, glorious violence. My...

    Port my current M1 single plane or install the RPM Air Gap?

    My vote is RPM air gap for autocross and drivability.

    A833 ID

    Dana 60, Eaton helical locker, so it won't be the rear end that ever breaks. I thought I was a pretty knowegable Mopar guy, and I am ashamed to admit that I have never heard of anything other than 18 and 23 spline in the A833.

    A833 ID

    Can any of you younger folks read (or good guess) the year on this A833 tag? Buggers screwed right into it! There aren't any stamped '63 for the '64 model year release are there?

    Headers

    Don't know yet, but I am assuming pretty good since two tubes go over the frame on one side and one on the other. They are slip tube, makes everything easier. Has a similar set of Hookers on a Hemi car I once had and really liked them.

    Clutch/Flywheel Questions

    I already have a brand new Lakewood bellhousing. I think it is pretty flexible, but I would like a light weight solution for the flywheel clutch since I will have a light((ish) car with 4.10:1 gears.

    Ouch, but point taken. Making my own harness, probably moving battery to the trunk for weight distribution, going to make it a distributed power buss.

    Headers

    I bought 2" to 2 1/8" step headers from Mazzolini, Pro Parts style, semi-fender well. Then I had them ceramic coated. They allow power steering and starter removal/install, but they are $$$$$$$$$$$
